Gar(t)bage is back with 2024's airport paperback papal political thriller, Edward Berger's CONCLAVE!

We're learning Ralph Fiennes' full name, revisiting 3rd Rock from the Sun, and decide that every character in this film is a Pope, before discussing Catholicism and the Absolute Mysteries, power structures and rotting institutions, and what it means to stand for something instead of against something.

Get ready to hear a lot about specificity becoming universality as we get into each pope's candidacy, the power of presenting alternatives in the face of certainty, and how much you have to screw up to have a sin named after you. And we're here to investigate: is John Lithgow's Father Tremblay Canadian?

We're getting heavily into the ending and varying interpretations, so be warned of heavy spoilers!

Next time, we're getting into Oscar talk with Paul Thomas Anderson's ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER!
