Gone with the Pope

Send us a text

In episode 3 of last season, we covered a movie starring Duke Mitchell. If you heard it, you know we were not kind. For this month's episode, we apologize for some of that as we talk about a movie he wrote, directed, and starred in called Gone with the Pope.

Paul (Duke Mitchell) is hired to do a hit, and uses the money to fund his own plan to kidnap the Pope for ransom.

This movie has its issues. It gets weird and has some racist dialogue. But it was filmed in the mid-70s, so that's not too much of a surprise. What is a surprise is Duke Mitchell. He's the best actor in it. The script he wrote has a unique plot, and includes a little speech by Paul that we feel everyone needs to hear. We soak in this one solely to give Mr. Mitchell the credit he deserves. 

*Edit: Duke Mitchell's son is named Jeffrey, not Jerry.*

Will you stay clean, or will you soak in this Corpse Tub?

Gone with the Pope is available to stream on Fawesome, Plex, Pluto TV, Roku, and Tubi, and is available to purchase on Amazon.
