Some pretty big actors try to re-awaken a dying star. No, we're not talking about Chris Hemsworth as Thor. Although, two other Marvel actors are in this film before they became the heroes we know them as today. Sunshine is a not so hopeful, downer of a sci fi.

The Talented Mr. Ripley with Matt Damond, Jude Law, and Gwyneth Paltrow is one odd movie. “In late 1950s New York, a young underachiever named Tom Ripley (Damon) is sent to Italy to retrieve Dickie Greenleaf (Law), a rich and spoiled millionaire playboy. But when the errand fails, Ripley takes extreme measures.” - IMDB  We'd say he takes it to a crazy extreme!

John Carter is a film based on an old scifi book that inspired other stories like Star Wars!

Sony and Marvel's Morbius is a nearly perfect portrayal of Michael Morbius, the living vampire, and villain in the Spider-Man comic. Jared Leto does a great job playing the character as we see him in the comics and cartoons. The issue is this film is a clear tee-off of the Sinister Six. But after seeing this film, Rob And Alex don't think anyone would want to be part of the villainous team desiring to take on the web-crawler. But they have some alternate endings that could change that. Notes:  Who is Morbius in the comics? Who are the Sinister Six?

Let's go! What are your thoughts? What movie should they do next? alternatepodcast@gmail.com

Disney's Tomorrowland is a fun kids movie based on one of the original lands at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. It's full of action, adventure, some humor and perhaps a missed opportunity of hope.

This 2022 Netflix film was created during the height of the COVID pandemic. Windfall is very creative for a film with really only three characters.

The late William Hurt, Holly Hunter and Albert Brooks are brilliant in this comedy about life in a competitive TV newsroom. A love triangle doesn't hurt the story either.

The 2022 Valentine's Day movie is Marry Me with Jennifer Lopez and Owen Lopez. The rom com is more romantic than comedy; except of course for Sarah Silverman's character.

Don't Look Up is currently one of Netflix's most watched movies. Why? Really only because of the star-studded cast. Also the comet that is about to hit earth. Or is it an asteroid?

Idris Elba kicks butt as a CIA agent stopping a heist in France with pick-pocketer Richard Madden in The Take. Or Bastille Day. Just a couple of guys from the UK playing Americans in France.

Free Guy is like Ready Player One put funnier and with Ryan Reynolds not as Deadpool. Or is he? Free Guy is hilarious and a lot of fun. The ending is pretty satisfying too. But can it be changed? In some small ways, Rob Newton and Alex Tourje create an alternate ending. Free Guy is a -insert adjective here- movie! When you know, you know.

WATCH THE MOVIE FIRST on Netflix. Comments or requests: alternatepodcast@gmail.com or @alternatepodcast on Instagram

Happy Halloween! Edward Scissorhands is without a doubt Tim Burton's twist on the story of Frankenstein's monster.
