That Final Scene

Tech billionaires, unregulated social platforms, egotistical maniacs, lack of content moderation...all is fun and games on the internet (enter sarcastic snark here) so we thought an episode around David Fincher's The Social Network is the perfect film to revisit right now.

In this episode, you'll have to forgive us for:

• Not watching Black Panther: Wakanda Forever yet
• Confusing Colin Farrell with Colin Firth for no reason
• Watching Beverly Hills Cop for the millionth time
• Not giving a stellar review to The Crown Season 5 (we're loving some of the cast though)
• Going hard on wig acting commentary
• Lying about films we've watched
• Accurately fancasting Elon Musk (thanks to your picks)
• Shamefully mispronouncing Joaquin Phoenix
• Spending an absurd amount of time on the ending of The Social Network (so much to debate on...)

Black Panther: Wakanda Forever is breaking records left and right across the world (hello, biggest November opening ever) so we went back to 2018’s Black Panther to sing its praises and honour its legacy.

And because we couldn’t get enough of Michael B. Jordan’s Erik Killmonger, we decided to have a chat about villains that kinda have a point??? (Why are y’all saying Thanos lol). Make sure to listen along to see if we picked your answer ;)

We also laughed our way through:

• Ben actually JUST WATCHED Morbius and oh boy, he has thoughts
• Our Pixar favourites
• Obsessing over British TV for better or for worse (The Great British Bakeoff, The Crown, This is Going To Hurt)
• Sophie’s Diana fatigue
• Simon’s IanMcShane guy crush
• The least expected Bend It Like Beckham callback

It's National Stress Awareness Week here in the UK so we are directing our attention to all things low-stress in this episode. What things you ask? Well...

• Our unofficial love letters to Sacha Baron Cohen and Timothy Spall
• Our never-ending apathy for Lord of The Rings: Rings of Power and everything Marvel related (with the exception of She-Hulk!)
• Our review of Black Adam without even seeing it
• Our open call to getting one of Sophie's favourite directors, Edgar Wright, as a podcast guest
• Your selection of films you go back to when you're not feeling 100% (we chimed in with ours too)
• A hearty conversation about one of the sweetest films ever made, Little Miss Sunshine; we talk about family relationships, redemption arcs, the power of naivety and oh that dance-off sequence in the end

Hi friends and foes - Spooky season is upon us and we're getting all dark and gnarly with a Halloween Special episode for you.

We're full of treats (no tricks) with this one:

• Sophie is back on her bullsh*t with loads of TV and film recommendations (yeah The Watcher is the absolute best and worst at the same time)
• Simon has some strong thoughts on the upcoming Netflix film Roald Dahl's Matilda
• Ben is slowly losing his patience with Rings of Power and House of The Dragon
• What constitutes a Halloween film? If Die Hard is a Christmas film, isn't Donnie Darko a Halloween film? A DEBATE
• The meta-ness of Cabin in The Woods is far superior to what we've seen from other recent meta horror films like The Matrix 4 and Scream 5
• How the nose and wig acting in Sweeney Todd delivers spot-on Macbeth vibes

Well. We couldn't resist but jump on the Wilde-Pugh-Styles-Pine train with this episode. No, we don't talk about The Spit all that much (y'all are just looking for drama) but we do go all in on the plot, direction & story of the most talked about film of the year (as of yet).

Dive right in to hear:

• Simon taking some of our film recommendations, as mentioned in the podcast (he finally watched THE PRESTIGE!!)
• Sophie finally catching up on Only Murders In The Building Season 2 (and she has thoughts about it)
• Ben still pushing through with Rings of Power and House of The Dragon
• Our reactions to Hugh Jackman's Wolverine joining Deadpool 2
• Our much-heated reactions to Don't Worry Darling (let's just say we didn't agree on much)
• Our thoughts on the film's ending and how we'd make it better (we agreed a bit more here)
• The difference between assumed endings and cliffhangers (and how they make an ending great)

40 years! Blade Runner was released 40 years ago, so it's time to revisit its iconic endings, and their significance, over the years. And with Blade Runner 2049 celebrating its mini 5 year anniversary, we couldn't pass on a Blade Runner double bill opportunity ;)

We spend the episode talking about:

• Our return from our mini break - catching up on Lords of The Rings: Rings of Power and House of the Dragon and much more
• If you could say anything to a film character, what would you tell them? (Your responses were so so good)
• Our (and your) favourite Blade Runner film
• A DEEP DEEP dive into the universe of Blade Runner: The upcoming Amazon live-action series, the various versions of the original and the legacy of 2049
• Of course, the (multiple?) endings of Blade Runner and the final scene of Blade Runner 2049

Jordan Peele’s much anticipated NOPE is finally here. And for our review episode, we invited a special friend of the podcast, Tim aka @comedianofcinema, to go full on geek with us. Dive right in to hear:

• The That Final Scene gang origin story and how Tim & Sophie became Instagram besties
• Debate the value of rewriting a film ending; should we entertain the idea? Should we not?
• Talk through some of the endings you would rewrite (La La Land stans - we see you)
• Review NOPE and Jordan Peele’s trajectory so far 
• And of course, discuss the meaning of the film’s final scene

As a reminder, That Final Scene will be taking a short break for the August holidays. We will be back in mid-September for an epic final scene double bill: Blade Runner and Blade Runner 2049. You do not want to miss this.

If you enjoyed this episode (or you just want to show off how much in the know you are when it comes to films), please share this episode on your social channels or simply with a friend. It makes all the difference.
