About this episode

Mandy Albert and guest Andrew Milne discuss the movie 'Imaginaerum', exploring its themes and their reactions to it.

Welcome to Your Movie Rocks, an Alternate Ending podcast hosted by Mandy Albert. For every episode, Mandy will watch a movie assigned by her guest host, followed by a lively discussion. There's only one rule: no matter what the movie does to her, Mandy is only allowed to love it. This month, we welcome back our first three-time player Andrew Milne, who has once again selected a movie that neither Mandy nor most of our listeners ever would have sought out on their own: Imaginaerum , an 85-minute music video for Finnish symphonic metal band Nightwish. Come along on a wild CGI roller coaster ride as Mandy and Andrew gamely try to pronounce "Imaginaerum," gamely avoid pronouncing most other Finnish names, and get into deep subjects like death, aging, memory, and scary snowmen. Also, we have a digression on sexy blood-red dresses.
