Summary
It's a new year, and we are jumping into a new show! We begin our 8-week coverage of Midnight Mass this week, chatting about the first episode "Genesis." We discuss our own history with Catholicism and how this show brings back so many memories and feelings. Also... it rules Note: Due to Matt and me both having seen this before, we decided to do an all-spoilers section at the very end of the episode to chat about our reaction to certain parts with full knowledge of the show. These should be noted via audio and visual clues, but here are the timestamps: SPOILERS FROM 1:47:40 to 2:00:11 Discussion Question: What is your favorite instance of a prodigal son (or daughter) in storytelling?
