43 - 'Conclave,' and 'Anora' Producer Alex Coco

Calling all the cardinals for a 'Conclave.'

Real-life Catholic and manager/producer Will Iannaccone rejoins the show to break down the new Ralph Fiennes papal thriller (2:20). He and Schmear parse the strengths and weaknesses of the film, discuss its reception (34:23), and do an actor re-draft to see if they can improve Edward Berger’s movie (39:44).

Then, 'Anora' and 'Red Rocket 'producer Alex Coco sits with Schmear for an exclusive interview (45:31). Coco shares what it’s like working with Sean Baker, when he knew star Mikey Madison had the “it” factor, and what it’s like for 'Anora' to be called the “American New Wave" (1:17:30).
