The Two Nopes


Listen Later

This week we recap some of the adventures of Gordon and Lizzie's wedding and hear about some of their travels for their honeymoon. But our main topic this week is something that we have received several requests for; Netflix's 'The Two Popes.' We break down the story, do a lot of fact checking, and discuss themes that we found as well as the themes found by some of those who requested this episode to help us understand what it is about this movie that we enjoy even if it's not necessary factual. #WelcomeToTheAdventure

          • The One Pope | Word on Fire — The new and much-ballyhooed Netflix film The Two Popes should, by rights, be called The One Pope, for it presents a fairly nuanced, textured, and sympathetic portrait of Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis) and a complete caricature of Joseph Ratzinger (Pope Benedict XVI).
