[13:9] Our penultimate Season XIII episode finds us worshipping Netflix miniseries Midnight Mass, from writer-director Mike Flanagan, which finds a mysterious new priest (Hamish Linklater) arriving on an impoverished remote island. But the miracles he brings are revealed to have a high price... in blood...

And taking a pew with us is comic-book writer, podcaster, and atheist Wayne Talbot...
