The last two films I watched were on the couch with my mom who came to visit over the holidays:
Conclave is fun! I grew up catholic in the global South, so it was fun to see the tensions that were prevalent during my formative years play out in a much more dramatized way. Acting was good, and the plot is enough of a whodunnit to keep you guessing. I figured out the ending before it happened and felt very proud of myself.
Mr Monk's last case was a throwback for my mom and I, because we used to watch Monk religiously. There's something really sweet about the way Monk portrays trauma, and there's this underlying dread throughout the film that really resonated with me. Some of the "OCD" gags felt a bit forced, and the overall plot felt like a way to tell the audience "remember Monk? Eh?". Still, a very comfy and fun watch if you can stomach the heavy handedness and of course, the copaganda.
