About this listen
The Two Popes - starring Jonathan Pryce and Anthony Hopkins, directed by Fernando Meirelles and written by Anthony McCarten - takes centre stage in this episode of the Historical Movies Podcast.
We ask what the film makers got right and wrong in their depiction of Popes Benedict XVI and Francis and analyse the history of the Papacy shown in the movie: did Popes Benedict and Francis really watch the World Cup Final together? Did Benedict like Fanta? And was Kommissar Rex really his favourite television show?
Plus would this movie have benefited from being called 'The Pope' as originally planned, Anthony Hopkins' admirable decision not to go back to bad stroke acting and much more!
