It’s May 7th — and if you’ve been keeping an eye on the Vatican (and the rise of Asian Francis), it’s the start of conclave. In honor of the occasion, Aidan and Maya dive into Conclave, the 2024 political thriller about the secretive process of electing a new Pope. They unpack the film’s visual style, complex characters, and portrayal of power within the Catholic Church. Tune in for their very different takes on the movie, its ending, and the challenge of keeping up with Catholicism. 📬 Subscribe to our Hyphenly newsletter: https://immigrantlys-newsletter.beehiiv.com/subscribe Hosted by: Aidan Taylor & Maya Shetty Producer: Shei Yu | Sound Designer & Editor: Lou Raskin I Immigrantly Theme Music: Simon Hutchinson | Other Music: Epidemic Sound | Cover art design: Josephine Chai | Executive Producer: Saadia Khan Please share the love and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts & Spotify to help more people find us!
