Somehow it’s a heavy week of popcorn cinema. After a listener write-in continuing our ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ holiday “land” discussion (3:34), Andy & Jenna review ‘Conclave,’ the Agatha Christie-style papal succession thriller that’s quietly taking the nation by storm (8:55), then ‘Heretic’ starring Hugh Grant as r/atheism Jigsaw vs. Mormon missionaries (20:32). ‘Megan Thee Stallion: In Her Words’ rounds out this week’s feature presentation (30:10) followed by a trio of horror movies “for the ladies” (38:49) and a pair of sci-fi sleepers (1:05:30).
