Well ... here we are, folks! We, obviously, talk about the election last week, but we try not to go too far down the road: We understand you might enjoy some distraction just as much as we will. Fortunately, we have three meaty movies to talk about this week. Sean Baker's "Anora," Steve McQueen's "Blitz" and the Hugh Grant horror film "Heretic." We have you are staying safe and all right this week. Timestamps: 12:22 "Anora" 44:11 "Blitz" 1:07:11 "Heretic" Thanks to Dylan Mayer and My Friend Mary, both of which are wonderful, for the music.

We have two movies to talk about, and we get into both of them, the Oscar hopeful Vatican drama "Conclave" and then the end (?) of the Venom trilogy, "Venom: The Last Dance." But this episode is really about our conversation at the end, when we do a brain download of all our election thoughts and anxieties. It's OK if you skip that part. But we found it helpful. We're off next week because Leitch is running the NYC Marathon. We'll see you all on the other side.

Right before the deluge of Oscar movies, we get three curios, one good, two bad. First we discuss the Cate Blanchett satire "Rumours." Then it's Netflix's Anna Kendrick-directed "Woman of the Hour." And we close with Josh Brolin, Peter Dinklage and Glenn Close in "Brothers," which is on Amazon Prime, like football.
