Sister Act or: When Catholic Guilt Saves the Day

About this episode

Carie and Ross discuss the film Sister Act and its themes of music and Catholic guilt.

This week, Ross introduces Carie to the absolute delight that is Sister Act (1992), a film about a lounge singer who witnesses a murder and is forced to hide out in a convent of nuns. Ross has a lot of feelings on the arrangements of Sister Mary Clarence's lounge tunes in the church choir. Carie's heart is stolen by a sweet young nun with a surprisingly big voice. And surprisingly, the siblings see the power that Catholic guilt has in taking on the mafia. SUPPORT US ON PATREON!
