That Final Scene

Mar 06 2024 1
That Final Scene Podcast artwork

If you often find yourself asking "What did I just see?" after the film credits roll, this podcast is for you. Join us as we dive into the (plot) twisted world of final scenes in film and TV show history.
Think Inception. Parasite. Avengers: Endgame. Shutter Island. Call Me By Your Name. Some endings just stick with you. While others...well, you may want to leave them in the past (What was Dexter thinking?). In other words, endings are complex - and can rarely be "explained'. But that doesn't mean we ain't going to try. Hosted by Sophie, Ben and Simon.
