About this episode
Note: This podcast begins with a spoiler-free review for those who have not yet seen the film. Marilyn (student and teacher of ritual), Anthony (religious studies professor), David (cinematography aficionado), and Elysia (walking BTS reel) team up to select the next pope – or at least to dive into all the philosophy, politics, and fantastic filmmaking of Conclave , the 8x-Oscar-nominated movie all about that process.
