July 2026 Movie Preview

July 2026 Movie Preview

Author: Alternate Ending June 30, 2026 Duration: 1:20:03

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.


The conversations on Alternate Ending-Movie Review Podcast begin with a simple, shared love for cinema, but they quickly go much deeper than that. This isn't a formal critique or a dry analysis; it's the sound of three friends debating, laughing, and unpacking what they just watched, with the listener right there in the room. The goal is practical: to help you decide where to spend your valuable time and money. You'll get clear, often passionate, opinions on which new releases are worth a trip to the theater, which are perfect for a cozy night on the couch, and which you might want to skip entirely. What defines this podcast is its perspective. As the hosts note, they aren't just another group of guys rehashing classic cult favorites. The dynamic between the two hosts and their third co-host brings a distinct and engaging balance to every discussion, covering everything from big blockbusters and hidden indie gems to classic TV series. Each episode feels like a genuine conversation, one that’s as much about the experience of watching as it is about the film or show itself. Tune in for thoughtful reviews, unexpected recommendations, and the kind of easygoing rapport that makes you feel like part of the group.
