Sometimes we have these little theme weeks totally by accident. This time on Breakfast All Day, we review two indies that contemplate the power of religion in very different ways.

First, we discuss "Heretic," a twisty thriller from A24 starring Hugh Grant in a deliciously villainous role. When two young Mormon missionaries knock on his door, hoping to convert him, he ends up giving them a lot to think about instead. Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East co-star. In theaters.

Then, we review "Small Things Like These," starring a quietly moving Cillian Murphy as a coal merchant who begins to question what's going on behind the walls of the convent in his small Irish town. Emily Watson is chilling as the fearsome mother superior. In theaters.

Finally, because it's Friday, we did our weekly movie news livestream. Among the topics we discussed were the late, legendary Quincy Jones, three new "Star Wars" movies, "Juror #2" and the final season of "Stranger Things." Join us every Friday at Noon Pacific.

Now more than ever, we're grateful for the community you're helping us build. It's been a difficult week for a lot of folks, but we're glad to be surrounded by so many thoughtful and kindhearted viewers and listeners. Hope you're taking time for yourself, and we thank you for sharing some of that time here with us.
