Notes:
-Find The Show: Filmspotting Podcast
-Yes, for some reason James Caan appeared on a Fall Preview cast list for “Cliff Booth” along with his son. No, it didn’t occur to Adam that he was dead. (He is.)
-”The Family Guy” has the famous “It insists upon itself” joke – not “The Simpsons.”

27 October 2026, 12:01 am - 1 hour 26 minutes214. Emanuela Orlandi - The Vatican Girl
15 year old Emanuela Orlandi went to a music lesson in Rome, on one of the hottest days of the Summer, 1983. She is still to this day the only Vatican citizen to go missing, and this teenager's disappearance is one of the most baffling cases in Italian criminal history. As if ripped out of teh pages of a Dan Brown novel, there are so many twists, turns, shock revelations and red herrings in a story that swirls around the Sicilian Mafia, God's Banker, Avon cosmetics, a gangster's moll, a dungeon, an international assasin, prophecies, miracles, the KGB and even the Pope himself.
I hope you're ready for this one, it's the disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi, the Vatican Girl.
