Post-BAFTAs, Leslie and Matthew decide to cover Best Film winner Conclave, as well as a movie that’s getting lots of traction for being rather unrewarded, The Substance.

As they’ve already done reviews of both (check previous episodes!) they jump right in to pitching a mash-up of the two. What happens when a Pope wants to stay Pope forever, but also has to present a television show for Dennis Quaid? Who will complete the Dante’s Inferno Challenge? And have Leslie and Matthew gotten rid of the echo from the previous episode? The answer to all these questions: Yes.

Time codes:

0:00 - Intro

4:27 - Oscar nominations 2025 - Part 4
