92. The New Pope, Episode Seven

[Major ep. 7 spoilers in this episode description]

Pope, saint, miracle worker, messiah, christ, antichrist, revenant, which best applies to resurrected Lenny Belardo?! And which apply to your dear hosts?! Regan and John plot out this and many other papal conundrums as they discuss LENNY BACK. Lenny’s return breaks the show, and we explore the new primary setting of the Venetian manor in this episode, new questions about the Church, and, most importantly, a new opening credits sequence featuring the Glowing Papal Speedo (Lenny’s job is beach). Much like Lenny can’t quite figure out his role in the lives of his hosts Ewa and Helmar and their son Eric, we try to figure out WTF this show is doing with disability. 

Somehow this TV episode also contains one of the most strikingly somber and beautiful scenes ever, and this podcast episode includes literary references galore, plagiarism chat, celebration over the way the show’s lighting, Pietà time, Edward Said, and so much more.
