That Final Scene

Summer break is over. We're back to school with the final and most epic installment of The Lord of The Rings - The Return of The King!!!Without further ado, enjoy the sh*t-talking of me, Ben and Simon (we've been watching SO many things) and enjoy our breakdown of the extraordinary finale. We'll be back in a couple of weeks with...The Gladiator 😱

After a short summer hiatus (weddings! sunny days! boring work stuff!), we're back and excited to share the commentary of our second The Lord Of The Rings live-watch: The Two Towers. Now you may think The Lord Of The Rings is an odd one to revisit over the summer but trust us...it's a GREAT franchise to bounce back to. Lots of goodies in this conversation (mostly Simon's first-time-viewing reactions) so we guarantee you're going to enjoy it. Please make sure you join us for the last and more epic viewing yet because THE RETURN OF THE KING is coming!!!Loved what you heard?Share this episode with someone you know who'd enjoy itSubscribe to our podcast (if you haven't already)Rate it and/or leave a review depending on where you're listening (this really really really helps us going)Shoot your thoughts and suggestions over a voice note:Head to https://thatfinalscene.com/voicemessage & record your voice note on the websiteSign up to our newsletter to get updates first: https://www.thatfinalscene.com/newsletter/Follow THAT FINAL SCENE on social:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thatfinalsceneTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@thatfinalsceneYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ThatFinalSceneTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/finalscenepod

Hi hi hi. With The Rings of Power Season 2 back soon (yikes) AND the upcoming The Lord of the Rings prequels, we realized we could not prolong the wait any longer. We had to sit Simon down to finally watch LOTR with us. And the results may surprise you...;)This episode is extra special to us because Ben, Simon and I watched the film together right before we recorded this. Which is also why I sound a tad tired and said Dark Towers vs Two Towers, please forgive me 😭Expect Part II and Part III in the following weeks. We, for one, can't wait.Loved what you heard?Share this episode with someone you know who'd enjoy itSubscribe to our podcast (if you haven't already)Rate it and/or leave a review depending on where you're listening (this really really really helps us going)Shoot your thoughts and suggestions over a voice note:Head to https://thatfinalscene.com/voicemessage & record your voice note on the websiteSign up to our newsletter to get updates first: https://www.thatfinalscene.com/newsletter/Follow THAT FINAL SCENE on social:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thatfinalsceneTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@thatfinalsceneYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/ThatFinalSceneTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/finalscenepod
