The Watch/Skip-er’s are recording back to back episodes so this week and next week’s “wicked” episode are a bit truncated...but we still dive below the line to discuss legendary director Ridley Scott and the screenwriters of this sequel to 2000’s original starring Russell Crow, and above the line with the gorgeous actors - Paul Mescal, Connie Nielsen, Pedro Pascal, Fred Hechinger, Joseph Quinn, and an out of control Denzel Washington (it’s a good thing....he’s mutherfucking KING KONG OF ROME, ok?). Is this a successful follow-up or does this movie not make it out of the Colosseum alive? #mutantbaboons

Conclave Movie Review
2 RecommendationsWatch Skip Plus Episode 105: Conclave
YOUR PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED!!!! After a week off due to sickness, the WS+ boys have been resurrected to bring you a new episode. This week, Emcee and Cupcake take on "Conclave" from the director of Netflix's "All Quiet on the Western Front". The latter garned praise and (BAFTA/Academy/Critical) awards. Will this dramatization of the succession/election process for the world's next Pope - starring Ralph Fiennes, Stanley Tucci, John Lithgow, and Isabella Rosselini - stun viewers the same? The Boys deep-dive the stage-y, talk-y film's multifaceted themes of the dynamics of ambition and power, acceptance and diversity, and a twist that might be causing un-intended controversy over the film.
But before that, Alex and Cupcake mind-meld their plusses - each discusses ALL the films they watched while taking the week break.
GENUFLECT AND HIT PLAY!!!!
