Monologues

Monologues

Author: Alternate Ending September 15, 2026 Duration: 1:52:41

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.


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.
