Now that we're officially 25% through the 21st century, its time for Cinema Effect to return to your ears for another year. Our first episode back for 2025 dives into Conclave, a gripping conspiracy thriller that takes viewers inside the secretive process of selecting a new pope. With sharp dialogue and great performances from a stellar cast that includes Ralph Fiennes (the GOAT), Stanley Tucci, and John Lithgow among others, the film balances political intrigue with thought provoking analysis of faith and the Catholic Church. We break down those themes, and the dialogue-driven story. An easy recommendation for anyone fascinated by the inner workings of the Vatican, Conclave left us impressed.
