Pixar in the 2020s

Pixar in the 2020s

Author: Alternate Ending April 14, 2026 Duration: 1:38:19

Currently in theaters, Hoppers is the 30th feature-length film by Pixar Animation Studios. That seemed like an important enough number for us to turn to one of the evergreen questions: what's going on with Pixar, exactly? Tim is joined by Zev and Cameron to reminisce about the studio's history and mull over its recent run of films that mostly haven't lit the world on fire at the box office or in reviews. Before getting to Pixar, Zev brings Agnès Varda's very first film, La Pointe Courte, to our movie roundtable, while Cameron revisits a childhood favorite, Return to Oz. At the behest of Patreon supporter Hallvarður, Tim checks out the 1996 Icelandic dark comedy Devil's Island.


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.
