October 13, 2025 marked the 75th anniversary of the premiere of the Oscar-winning classic All About Eve, which the Alternate Ending crew decided made for a perfect excuse to revisit one of the most remarkable face-offs between two evenly-matched masterpieces in cinema history. In this corner: Eve, the caustically witty dark comedy about backstabbing and ageism in the world of legitimate theater. In the far corner: Sunset Blvd., the lacerating film noir about madness and ageism in the world of motion pictures. Two of the medium's most iconic female lead performances, top-tier screenplays by two of Hollywood's most celebrated writers... even if the team can't pick a favorite, it's a pleasure just to get to luxuriate in the presence of these two icons. To discuss the highs and... higher highs of these two classics, Tim is joined by Cameron, and Brian, and not least Zev, whose idea this was in the first place. Before getting to the main showdown, Cameron shares her thoughts on the new must-see cinephile bait, Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another, Zev catches up with the must-see-somewhat-less DreamWorks Animation comedy Dog Man, and courtesy of Patreon supporter and regular podcast guest Andrew Milne, Tim gets a third perfect 10/10 masterwork to talk about, in the form of John Woo's 1989 action epic The Killer.

Brian unfortunately wasn't able to catch up with a movie, as he's just out a stay at the hospital that's put him out of work for a few weeks. Help him out during this difficult time by visiting his GoFundMe page!
