That Final Scene

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

This is the most timely podcast episode you'll hear this week - it's OSCARS 2024 PREDICTIONS time!
