Episode 166 – Stigmata (1999)

Troy and Roger put on their crucifixes and crank up the ’90s electronica as they dive into Stigmata — the film that dares to ask, “What if your hairstylist was chosen to deliver a lost gospel... via spontaneous bleeding?” They explore Patricia Arquette’s committed, though seemingly unbothered performance, the film’s goth-chic visuals, and some subtle jabs at the Catholic Church. From subway lashings to night club thornings, the guys wade through the plot’s holy confusion and debate whether Gabriel Byrne is better as a conflicted priest or just confused by the script. . It’s sometimes messy, melodramatic, and maybe a little meaningful — depending on how many cursed rosaries you’ve got on hand!
