This week, we chat about religious movies from a secular perspective. Were we able to complete our mission before the laptop’s battery ran out? Listen to find out! We also finally get to read out a listener’s response to our Pleasure Dome questions! (Have you answered our questions yet? You should!) This week’s booze pairing is Zonin’s lovely Montepulciano d’Abruzzo, which is fun to say and even more fun to drink. Further show notes behind the cut!
