Summary

This is a preview of a bonus episode! Find the rest on our increasingly reasonably-priced patreon! ----- The year is 1750. The Guarani people in what is now southern brazil are stuck between various factions of Europeans- the Portuguese, who believe they are functionally animals and NEED to be enslaved, the Spanish who broadly agree but have better PR, and the Jesuit missionaries, who believe that they're something approaching human, but only in as much as that means it's an absolute necessity that they be taught about Jesus and not jacking off or whatever. The Treaty of Madrid has ceded spanish colonial land to portugal- but will the jesuit missions continue to be protected by the pope, or will the portuguese get to kill and enslave the Guarani living in them? It's the latter. Sorry ----- FREE PALESTINE Hey, Devon here. As you well know I've been working with a few gazan families to raise money for their daily living costs in the genocide. We're putting all our energy into this one campaign as we have a real chance to get Ahmed and his family out of Gaza. Please, if you can help in any way, be that by donating yourself or sharing the link with friends and family, it will mean the world to me.https://chuffed.org/project/124906-help-ahmed-and-family-evacuate-gaza ----- WEB DESIGN ALERT Tom Allen is a friend of the show (and the designer behind our website).

0:24.7

I'm November Kelly, joined as always by my friends Abigail and Devon.

0:25.5

Hello.

0:27.2

What's up?

0:34.2

I should have done like another religion themed bit there, you know, Cardinal, Cardinal November, joined as always by Abigail Cardinal Thorne.

0:36.3

What did Catholics say?

0:37.1

Like, peace be upon you?

1:11.7

What's the Catholic? And with your spirit. Catholics say a lot of things, I think. Blessings, listeners? Yeah, sure. Blessings, yeah, upon all of you. And we're dearly beloved. We're gathered here today to record a bonus episode of Kill James Bond that's still in... Oh, that's what it is? It's Enormony, what is it? Padre, Philly, it's Spilitar sancti, podcasty commensium. Bisnilla. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Sure. Not too. Yeah, expelliarmus, etc. Opposite of expelliarmus. We want them to listen to the thing.

1:13.0

So it's still religion season.

1:16.6

It's still God season.

1:18.9

And it's Abby's turn.

1:19.9

And Abby, you have picked a beautiful movie for us.

1:23.9

What have you picked for us?

1:25.3

It's called The Mission.

1:26.3

It came out in 1996 stars Jeremy Irons and Robert De Niro as Jesuits in South America. So once again, we're doing like a Jesuit, a Jesuit buddy cop movie. Not surprising. The kind of Jedi is the thing. Yeah. Yeah, this is what the Jesuits were up to. This is kind of a rogue choice. It's not something I would normally have encountered, except that my AS-level history teacher was a bit of a movie buff.

1:47.9

Hmm. were up to. This is kind of a rogue choice. It's not something I would normally have encountered, except that my AS level history teacher was a bit of a movie buff. So he showed us this. We never studied the Jesuit or South America or this time period. But Jack, shout out to Mr. Greenhulls for showing us this. And also Mississippi Burning, which is a bang of film he showed us when we were studying the American civil rights here. You're a teacher. You can just do whatever you want. I think that's true. This was just one day he didn't want to teach, so he's just like, fuck it, I'll show them the mission, brackets, 1986. So there we go. Yeah, two hours, bam, that's two periods. Done. Easy. Don't have to think about it. And they've given the kids an episode for their podcast in a few years. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm still thinking about the Jesuit thing as well because like if you tried to do it for like non-Jesuit religious orders, that's a different kind of movie. Like if you tried to make the Dominican movie, no one wants to watch two hours of like a guy yelling at you, right? What flavor was in the name of the rose?

2:35.6

That wasn't Jesuits.

2:36.3

That was a different program.

2:37.4

That was Franciscans.

2:38.1
