Politics and religion go hand in hand this week when Derek Miranda (@DerekMiranda85) and Karen Peterson (@KarenMPeterson) sit down to talk CONCLAVE.

As always, featured reviews are done in two parts, a NON-SPOILER review with letter grade and brief discussion, followed by a more in depth SPOILER review.

PLOT SUMMARY:
