EP 511: The Two Kens On Unpacking the Unexpected Ending of “Conclave” Film

Already being mentioned for the Academy’s “Best Picture” and “Best Actor” awards, this screen adaptation of Robert Harris’ international bestselling novel Conclave is now available to rent on streaming platforms like Amazon Prime, Apple TV, VuDu, and more! Having watched it together the week of Thanksgiving, Ken Kemp and I were chomping at the bit the next day to debrief the major messages, especially in the final scene. If you’ve already seen it, you may have completely overlooked the symbolism of the turtles, but we didn’t! This episode contains major spoilers, so if you’d rather watch the film first, listen to how we unpack it after. Even if you choose not to see this film, I think you’ll still gain a great deal listening in on our reactions.
