Discovering good movies, one bad movie at a time


‘Tis the season to start thinking about holiday-themed movies, and for the last episode of the third year of Alternate Ending’s podcast, we’re going to look at our very favorite movie Santas: possibly deranged men at malls, lonely skeletons, suburban dads with the unimaginable power to murder demigods. Or, like actual Santa Claus, if that’s your jam for some reason. We’re making our lists and checking them twice, and while you wait for us to come down the chimney with our 2018 season finale.

In Worth Mentioning we cover Aquaman, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Leave No Trace.
