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.

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 .
