Sure - the Pope passing away isn’t the sort of gear we usually discuss on The Spill, but it is when it links to one of Em’s FAVE ever movies! On the show today - we dive into the fascinating ritual that's straight out of your favorite Netflix drama - complete with secret ballots, chimney signals, and centuries-old traditions that even non-Catholics can't help but be captivated by!

Plus, Coachella 2025 is finally over after what felt like a month-long fashion parade. We break down what you missed, including the two Aussie podcasters turned up in literal Bunnings fits and won the entire festival.

And why is everyone talking about "Sinners"? Maybe because Michael B. Jordan playing TWIN BROTHERS in a 1930s vampire thriller is the movie magic we didn't know we needed! Despite incredible box office numbers and rave reviews, there's drama brewing behind the scenes about the director's creative control. The film that's changing the Hollywood game deserves your immediate attention!
