Episode description

Watch 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!!!!
