Obviously, we found out about the Pope’s Batman routine because of the diligent work of the Pope-arazzi…

The Quakers were banned from colonial Massachusetts. The colonies lost their independent authority for capital punishment because of Massachusetts’ killing of Quakers…therefor it most likely (historically) was not a Quaker in ParaNorman (it must have been an intolerant Puritan).

I know I’m late to the podcast party and bingeing on a snow day, but Phil, talk about the Bible, talk about Disney, talk about film- but back off on Harry Potter. It’s just not your area. (Harry’s dad made fun of Voldemort? Ohmygoodness. Please just stop.)
