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.

For every episode, Mandy will watch a movie assigned by her guest host, followed by a lively discussion. There's only one rule: no matter what the movie does to her, Mandy is only allowed to love it. April's Your Movie Rocks sees the return of two Alternate Ending main characters: editor-in-chief Tim Brayton back for his second go-round; and The Guy From The Hottie & the Nottie , last heard from in the episode on Spiral (2007), and visiting with us again, because, well...we're talking about The Hottie & the Nottie , the near-universally-reviled 2008 lightning rod of Paris Hilton hate. Tune in to learn whether Mandy succeeds at becoming one of the world's only Hottie & the Nottie defenders, to find out if Tim has warmed on it at all in the 15 years since he last experienced it , and to decide if you agree with Tim's assessment that this YMR choice was the cruelest thing he has ever done to another human being.
