Hello, my fellow kids. Our first Tarantino film ending is here & it's none other than Reservoir Dogs'. One of the most perplexed endings from the auteur himself so we thought it needed some attention and re-examination. Curious to hear your thoughts: Whatever happened to mr. Pink? 🤔

That's not all though. In this episode, we're also introducing a new game: Our Desert Island films aka 3 films each one of us would take to a desert island with them. We need you to listen in because you'll have to help us vote which ones should stay in the list and which ones should go. It's about to get all Hunger Games-y in here 😨

Meanwhile, you'll also hear:

- What Sophie, Ben and Simon have been watching over the past couple of months (we've got LOTS to cover)

- Sophie's reaction to Killers of the Flower Moon, alongside other London Film Festival premieres

- Our takes (and your thoughts) on the best Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro performances in a Martin Scorsese film

We attempted to do a summer episode but the UK weather didn't agree - apologies in advance for the weather chit chat.

That said, we still did our best with:

• An emotional review of the summer blockbuster of the year, Barbie, from the one and only blockbuster aficionado...Ben
• Simon is obsessed with Risky Business' soundtracks (lol more Tom Cruise talk)
• Sophie has new documentary and TV show recommendations for you
• Films that you watched as a kid that traumatised you (we have thoughts, LOTR..why???)
• A breakdown of the surprisingly ambiguous final scene of Point Break

Y'all asked for it and you're now getting it - our HEAT episode has now arrived. After talking about this film approximately 5654636 times over the course of the past year (largely thanks to Simon), we decided to finally break down...that final scene.

So put your cool vibes on and listen:

• Simon finally started Barry (cheers for him pls)
• Ben goes all TBT with Joss Whedon's Firefly and Buffy The Vampire Slayer
• Ben & Simon feel very strongly about Blackadder and apparently WE SHOULD ALL WATCH IT asap
• Sophie has thoughts about Black Mirror Season 6 (let me know what you thought??)
• Movies you have walked out of - this was hilarious let's do it again please
• An epic discussion on Heat's final scene and the first sighting of DeNiro and Pacino together on the big screen (nope, they didn't share any scenes in The Godfather 2)

p.s. For those of you who want to check out our Don't Worry Darling episode on the back of this episode's conversation: https://thatfinalscene.com/episode/dont-worry-darling-review-and-ending-explained-harry-styles-acting-chops-wolverine-joining-deadpool-3-reactions

• Sophie has lost faith in Guy Richie after seeing his latest, The Covenant
• Ben gives us the behind-the-scenes latest on HBO's The Idol
• The characters you love to hate and hate to love (Walter White? It's complicated)

You asked for it 1000x times: THE PRESTIGE episode is here, baby! A film that barely needs any introduction from the one and only Christopher Nolan and arguably his best film according to Ben. But let's get right into it:

• Sophie gives her best and worst movie highlights from the past week
• Ben is all over the latest Guardians of the Galaxy film
• We talk Succession finale predictions (well, we were kinda...right???)
• Sophie quizzes Ben on the most iconic movie twists (thanks to your submissions)
• We go deep into the ending of The Prestige
• We answer a listener's question: What's the difference between a plot twist and a plot turn?
