A Succession rewatch is in order.

coyotefromtexas.bsky.social•46 days ago

There were not enough souvenir 'Conclave' refillable popcorn buckets to pass around. Guess someone had to bless thee existing buckets to increase thee number.

krazygirl676.bsky.social•46 days ago

'The Two Pope's" would have been a better watch. After all that is the story of Pope Francis.

lunonni.bsky.social•46 days ago

How do you say ultrasound in Latin?

alwayserked.bsky.social•46 days ago

Just a bunch of guys in a theater yelling at each other in Latin to remove their tall hats.

alexandergruchala.bsky.social•46 days ago

Unless they negatively polarize themselves watching it.

unoservix.bsky.social•46 days ago

LeBron James (knee) ruled OUT for papal conclave

designerplant.bsky.social•46 days ago

Why isn’t Pujols getting more MVP votes? Wait I mean Pope votes. He was literally a Cardinal AND an Angel. Seems like an ideal choice.

unoservix.bsky.social•46 days ago

he was also a dodger for a while and you just can't have a pope doing things like that

designerplant.bsky.social•46 days ago

But then he was a Cardinal again

prutherford77.bsky.social•45 days ago

But he wasn't a Padre.

belish.bsky.social•46 days ago

133 high-ranking clerics means a lot of turn undead spells being cast. The conclave pit must be full of unholiness.

devin8or.bsky.social•46 days ago

I like to think that the long delay before the black smoke today was because they decided to have a pizza party and screen Conclave in the Sistine Chapel before voting.

nowhere.bsky.social•46 days ago

New pope should watch New Pope

Or maybe not....

andiinnh.bsky.social•46 days ago

Absolutely. A true bonus.

taytay669.bsky.social•46 days ago

That is so awesome!

saltyboomer.bsky.social•46 days ago

Hoping for a liberal pontiff, ie. "that woke Pope smoke"

briesmith.xyz•46 days ago

I dunno, reminds me of Tubby Smith taking his Kentucky team to see “Glory Road,” a movie about Kentucky famously losing an NCAA tournament game, right before the NCAA tournament

designerplant.bsky.social•46 days ago

Lmao that must have been confusing AF for the players

liberty11.bsky.social•46 days ago

Or when "The Elephant Man" was shown to an unsuspecting group that had connections to Neurofibromatosis.

lemonbars.bsky.social•46 days ago

Sid Meyer’s Conclave

whiskycoke.bsky.social•46 days ago

A lot like how everyone watched Contagion during lockdown

sally1007.bsky.social•46 days ago

lol 😂

david-stone.bsky.social•46 days ago

They should also watch The Borghese on HBO and BORGIA: Faith and Fear on Apple, but just for fun.

antiggy1998.bsky.social•46 days ago

They are making it up as they go along. Very strange.

amloewi.bsky.social•45 days ago

Oh shit, was the the long game the whole time?

kakotechnia.bsky.social•46 days ago

Everyone chants “Cardinal Benitez! Cardinal Benitez!”

isocket.bsky.social•46 days ago

At this point, they should leave up to Big Balls and ChatGPT since they seem to be the true deciders of everything.

paulmurphyetc.bsky.social•46 days ago

Well, I’d have gone for “Thunderdome,” myself.

nwagers.bsky.social•46 days ago

Saying "for pointers" is Politico just being salacious. It would actually be surprising to me if none of those involved had seen a movie about their life's work.

leastimcreative.bsky.social•46 days ago

Imagine setting down to watch conclave at the AMC and an actual Cardinal sits next to you

unoservix.bsky.social•46 days ago

and then in the row behind him they're all "hey asshole, take off the giant hat!"

leastimcreative.bsky.social•46 days ago

Takes it off, flips it around. There’s perfectly buttered popcorn inside. Miracle.

jasonnlewis.bsky.social•46 days ago

Saint Laemmle the Salty

brianmwilcox.bsky.social•46 days ago

I hope they have a popcorn bucket shaped like a pope hat.

starlinger.bsky.social•46 days ago

(They hope to never admit anything about Pope Joan.)

adamrwolff.bsky.social•46 days ago

Oooooo, hoping the new guy takes the name “Innocent,” just to f— with the conservatives.

darthhellokitty.bsky.social•46 days ago

I had to print out a list of cardinals and actors to keep it straight, and I’m hoping they’ll have that too.

dolanj64.bsky.social•46 days ago

Hope they pick Jude Law from that “Young Pope” series. It would be cool to have an American pope named Lenny.

ckjohnsonbk.bsky.social•46 days ago

It means everybody will get a genital check.

bencollins.bsky.social•46 days ago

What is this, a middle school volleyball game?

eltopo71.com•46 days ago

It seems like a better source than asking ChatGPT "what's a conclave", so...

dawnmw329.bsky.social•46 days ago

Welp, at least it’s not Angels and Demons. 🤷🏽‍♀️

creakybones.bsky.social•45 days ago

Or it could descend into them all showing each other their tally whackers to prove they are cis.

lccoftheisland.bsky.social•46 days ago

Don’t they know how to cardinal?

leenakassak.bsky.social•46 days ago

ha!

dasgut.bsky.social•46 days ago

This feels like an onion headline

toddadam.bsky.social•46 days ago

rarazara.bsky.social•46 days ago

Love it 🥰

w-48176.bsky.social•46 days ago

Whenever I hear this word, I think of Homer Simpson singing "Convoy" in discordant tones, except he replaces the word "convoy" with "conclave".

jeffehobbs.bsky.social•46 days ago

I would fight 133 high-ranking clerics

chrismacandcheese.bsky.social•46 days ago

He's right. Ain't no rule that says a dog CAN'T be pope!

mspeggyhill.bsky.social•46 days ago

Although it was quite snubbed at the Academy Awards

seansei.bsky.social•46 days ago

Some of them just wanted to know where they can take their smoke breaks.

authoridad.bsky.social•46 days ago

Was Isabella Rossellinni elected pope? I haven’t seen it. 🤭

blongmom.xyz•46 days ago

Absolutely it could… I fear it might go the other way though😬

theomeny.bsky.social•46 days ago

I did like Catholic 12 Angry Men; it’s a good movie.

tragicpenname.bsky.social•46 days ago

At least they didn’t consult “The Pope of Greenwich Village.”

paularthurdavies.bsky.social•46 days ago

Best 'OMG' since 6th sense

clef-tes.bsky.social•46 days ago

Brb, going to watch "A Few Good Men" before my court appearance and then watching "The West Wing" before I run for President, those should be accurate and instructional

mandolyn.bsky.social•46 days ago

I’ve heard actual staffers say working in the White House is much more VEEP than West Wing. Explains a lot.

clef-tes.bsky.social•46 days ago

That's what I mean - Sorkinesque fantasies like Conclave aren't good models for the real world

psgamer92.bsky.social•46 days ago

Can you spill the tea, your eminence?

jspell-art.bsky.social•46 days ago

I want to see the Papal Olympics, to know how they handle track and field.

slhamlet.bsky.social•46 days ago

"For the next pope, vote for a [spoiler] from [spoiler]."

annecalie.bsky.social•46 days ago

When clerics are more prepared to vote the Oscars than the Academy members

mellycumberbatch.bsky.social•46 days ago

I can just hear them:
Is this your first conclave?
Yes.
Mine too! We can be besties!

honkeygeorge.bsky.social•46 days ago

"I choose to watch Pineapple Express again." The next Pope--probably.

undeadben.bsky.social•46 days ago

i still think it should be more like the nfl draft. i want to know 40 times, 3 pope hat drills, and who is out due to off the field issues.

dadjoke8467.bsky.social•46 days ago

I mean, they just did this like a decade ago was this was a lot long ago. It’s not like I don’t know what they’re doing.

madamedefargeknits.bsky.social•45 days ago

Francis appointed something like 108 of the 133 elector cardinals, so it’s the first time for most of them.

tedavid93.bsky.social•46 days ago

Especially since they’re already following the movie with Pope’s final wish letter about a corrupt cardinal.

maltaplication.bsky.social•46 days ago

If this works, can we show Trump that Clint Eastwood escaped from Alcatraz?
