Our goal is to save you time and money by sharing our thoughts and recommendations on which movies to race to theaters for, which to watch at home and those to actively avoid. What makes Alternate Ending different from other film podcasts? Well, we're not 5 dudes in a room talking about our passion for Fight Club and Braveheart. We're two dudes, and a lady, of which our tastes are quite varied. Rob, the film-school dropout, has seen an absurd amount of movies, and if we're being honest, rounds out our Fight Club fan-base. Tim Brayton, our seasoned film critic, shares a more critical view of film, an appreciation for vintage cinema and perhaps limited-release movies that we might otherwise miss. Carrie, our casual movie-goer, reminds us all that cinema is in fact supposed to be fun and entertaining and that sometimes, just sometimes, happy endings are good. Too many film sites cater to the same kind of audience, with one overwhelming voice in the writing, but what we treasure at Alternate Ending is diversity: diversity of opinion, diversity in belief about what film should do and how it sh…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-16T02:18:41.960875+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/alternate-ending-movie-review-podcast-485029"},"episode":{"title":"July 2026 Movie Preview","slug":"july-2026-movie-preview","published_at":"2026-06-30T03:09:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/alternate-ending-movie-review-podcast-485029/july-2026-movie-preview","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/alternate-ending-movie-review-podcast-485029","url":"https://alternateending.libsyn.com/july-2026-movie-preview","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/alternateending/June_2026-4.mp3?dest-id=333866","summary":"The Alternate Ending team is trying to beat the heat during this sweltering summer by looking forward to spending some time in a nice, air-conditioned movie theater. Brennan is joined by Gavin and Caleb to chat about the new films of July 2026, of which there are honestly not that many. But perhaps the lack of quantity will be matched with an uptick in quality. To kick things off with the movie roundtable, Gavin tackles the bizarre and potentially misguided French animated gay satire Jim Queen and the Quest for Chloroqueer , Brennan has a chance to catch the subject of a previous preview episode, the Australian gay-themed horror film Leviticus , leading to a deep dive into the good and bad of metaphor-driven cinematic storytelling, and Caleb does not watch a gay movie, but it is pretty politically charged: the recent Palestine 36 , shot in the very shadow of the ongoing war in Gaza.","meta_description":"The Alternate Ending team is trying to beat the heat during this sweltering summer by looking forward to spending some time in a nice, air-conditioned mov…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":4803,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/alternate-ending-movie-review-podcast-485029/episodes/july-2026-movie-preview/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/alternate-ending-movie-review-podcast-485029/july-2026-movie-preview.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
