## Resource

We do like talking here at Alternate Ending, so what could be a more natural subject than speeches, soliloquies, and other long-winded exercises in talking until you're all talked out? The team turns their attention to the history and phenomenology of monologues this week, with Tim joined by Brian Fowler and topic sponsor Andrew Milne to share some of our favorite examples of the form, along with a bit of acting theory and a good old-fashioned (very old-fashioned) rant about how sound ruined cinema. For the movie roundtable, Andrew takes a look at classic sci-fi/horror B-picture It! The Terror from Beyond Space , while Brian goes much more contemporary with Ready or Not 2: Here I Come . Courtesy of regular guest and Patreon support Caleb Wimble, Tim takes a long wallow in stylish filth, with Female Prisoner #701: Scorpion .
