Summary

Two divine guests this week as Ralph Fiennes and Stanley Tucci join Simon to discuss ‘Conclave’, the papal political thriller from ‘All Quiet on the Western Front’ director Edward Berger. Set in the Vatican’s pontific conclave, where cardinals are sequestered during the selection of the new Pope, the film follows the taut power struggle as these men of the cloth vie for the Catholic Church’s top job. The pair talk faith and doubt, Isabella Rossellini, and whether those robes can possibly be comfortable??? We find out whether Mark thought the film was a spiritual experience, or should be atoning for cinema sins... As well as Conclave we’ve got reviews this week of ‘Moana 2’, sequel to the 2016 Disney smash where this time the Polynesian not-a-princess must journey to the lost land of Motufetū to lift a curse from her island community—and ‘Your Monster’, the comedy-horror-musical mash-up that sees dumped and depressed actress Laura unexpectedly reunited with the childhood monster from under her bed. Plus your stellar correspondence adds more names to the overly-polite Brits abroad league table, and we’ve got more on Galdiator II space monkeys too.

0:00.0	Hello, this is Elizabeth Day from the How to Fail podcast. I want to tell you about Bista Village. It's the ultimate day out and my absolute favourite place to shop because it genuinely feels like a village, full of my favourite brands and providing such amazing savings. It's in a stunning location in the heart of the Oxfordshire countryside, but it only takes an hour on the train from London, although I actually use the free all-day parking.
0:25.9	When I arrived, I made a beeline for my favourite boutiques like Jill Sander. I picked up two amazing silk shirts, which will last me for years, one at 40% off and one at a half price, and I bought the most flattering jeans at
0:39.9	Anina Bing. Everyone is so helpful and nice, and even better, you can stop off for a Bellini
0:45.5	at Chiconies to refuel. Perfect. Have a wonderful day out with Bista Village, where shopping is

1:28.0	The season is based on the book Box Office Poison by Tim Roby, film critic over at The Telegraph.
1:34.1	Guests include legends like Roger Deacons and Babes, Farmer Hogget himself, James Cromwell.
1:39.2	That's the Mooby Podcast, M-U-B-I podcast, catch it on your favourite pod platform.
1:56.8	Were they sleigh bells on there?
1:59.2	The merest hint, a very light dusting of sleigh bells.
2:04.6	Well, I think that's appropriate because it is autumn.
2:07.1	It's not winter until Sunday.
2:09.0	And then it might be, so December the first, okay.
