Movie Reviews: Padre Pio, The Pope's Exorcist, & Nefarious

This week on A Podcast About Catholic Things, Eric (The Ambassador of Common Sense) and Dan (The Ambassador Of Nonsense) discuss some of the more recent films that looked very promising to the traditional Catholic world--and kind of fell short.

In current events, they're making humans? Several dinosaur bones found. Earthquakes and rockslides. Hot air balloon fire. Japanese age of consent raises. We lost the Titan. Joe Rogan, JFK Jr., and Dr Peter Hotez. Amazon locks racist out of phone. Rupnik expelled. Faces of abortion in Canada. Starbuks gets rid of pride flags. LA Dodgers failure. Gay Masses everywhere. Restaurant finds fake priest. Texans buy abortion facility. Illinois has more abortions. Man is fired for pronouns.

In the land of nonsense, cops are swept into drain. Boys steal a giant bird. Man arrested for shooting himself.
