With the selection of the new Pope this week, Francis I, it would be opportune to take a look at a film about the Papacy and the Vatican. Despite any criticisms or predisposition one might have about the leadership of the Catholic Church – whether a believer or not – the tradition of the Conclave in which a new Pontiff is elected has major historic significance, and is done so in a secretive manner that captures the attention of millions for a wide spectrum of reasons.

The convention of electing a Pope is not only secretive, but incredibly complicated, and has been going on for thousands of years. In the face of growing criticism from many over the scandals and cover-ups that have afflicted the Church in recent years, it’s tempting to dive into a film that perhaps examines these elements, a movie that attempts to highlight the aging tradition has no place in the contemporary.

Beware the Ides of March…

It’s March 15, a day you should watch your back, especially if you’re Julius Caesar!

If you’re watching the Starz series Spartacus: War of the Damned, then you know that Caesar (played by Todd Lasance) has a role in this season, the show’s final one. From what I’ve heard, on tonight’s episode, titled “Mors Indecepta,” fans will want to see what may happened to the famed Gaius Julius Caesar as he continues his battle against Spartacus and the rebels.

Check out the Caesar-themed Spartacus: War of the Damned clip here below called “Ides Of March,” which contains some spoilery action from future episodes. “Mors Indecepta” airs tonight at 9pm ET/PT on Starz and will replay at 10pm and 11pm, as well as several more times this week (list of air dates and times here below).
