Stop Scrolling Netflix for Hours Just to Watch Garbage
Get monthly film & tv watchlists that actually deliver, curated by someone who's seen everything
You have 47 streaming services and somehow there's still nothing to watch.
The problem isn't lack of content - it's that algorithms are designed to keep you scrolling, not satisfied. You end up settling for whatever's trending or rewatching the same comfort shows because finding something genuinely good feels impossible.
What if someone who actually knows film and TV did the work for you? Someone who understands that sometimes you need "comfort films for existential dread" and other times you want "movies that'll ruin you emotionally but in a good way."
Every month, you get 25-30 handpicked recommendations organized into four sections:
Comfort Zone (for when you need distraction but can't handle plot twists)
Brain Food (when you want to think without having an existential crisis)
Wildcard (when real life feels stranger than fiction), and
The Monthly Bonus - a rotating themed list like "breakup movies with JUST the right amount of violence" or "even the Hays Code couldn't stop them from hooking up"
Stop wasting your evening scrolling. Get recommendations that solve real problems - organized by exactly what you need.
Curated monthly by an actual human, Sophie, an ex-film marketer and writer of That Final Scene
A bit about me
Hello, my name is Sophie, and I used to market films for a living before I started writing about them. Every week, I write essays for That Final Scene exploring why certain films and TV shows linger in your mind, how they connect to real-life dilemmas, and what they reveal about the cultural moment we're living through. 35K+ people read them every month because I know how the industry works and I'm not afraid to call out the bullshit.
The weekly essays are free and will stay that way. But the monthly watchlists are premium content and exclusive to paid subscribers only. Why? Because I spend hours putting together films, TV shows, and documentaries organized by very specific moods and situations you won't find anywhere else.

Plus: Your paid subscription keeps the weekly film essays free for everyone. 35K+ monthly readers get honest cultural commentary because paying subscribers like you make it possible to write without chasing clicks or algorithmic bait.
