THE STORY BEHIND THE SCREENPLAY OF THE TWO POPES, THE MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING ANTHONY HOPKINS AND JONATHAN PRYCE (PREVIOUSLY PUBLISHED AS THE POPE).

From the Academy Award-nominated screenwriter of The Theory of Everything and Darkest Hour comes the fascinating and revealing tale of an unprecedented transfer of power, and of two very different men - who both happen to live in the Vatican.

In February 2013, the arch-conservative Pope Benedict XVI made a startling announcement: he would resign, making him the first pope to willingly vacate his office in over 700 years. Reeling from the news, the College of Cardinals rushed to Rome to congregate in the Sistine Chapel to pick his successor. Their unlikely choice? Francis, the first non-European pope in 1,200 years, a one time tango club bouncer, a passionate soccer fan, a man with the common touch.

Why did Benedict walk away at the height of power, knowing his successor might be someone whose views might undo his legacy? How did Francis - who used to ride the bus to work back in his native Buenos Aires - adjust to life as leader to a billion followers? If, as the Church teaches, the pope is infallible, how can two living popes who disagree on almost everything both be right?

Having immersed himself in these men's lives to write the screenplay for The Two Popes, Anthony McCarten masterfully weaves their stories into one gripping narrative. From Benedict and Francis's formative experiences in war-torn Germany and Argentina to the sexual abuse scandal that continues to rock the Church to its foundations, to the intrigue and the occasional comedy of life in the Vatican, The Two Pope glitters with the darker and the lighter details of one of the world's most opaque but significant institutions.

Comfortable, Practical Everyday Cotton Shorts That Hit Most of the Right Notes
Size: Large, Color: 2 Pack - Navy
These Fruit of the Loom Eversoft cotton shorts are exactly the kind of go-to casual shorts you reach for when comfort matters more than fashion. They’re soft, simple, and dependable — great for lounging around the house, running errands, or just staying comfortable on warm days. The Eversoft cotton lives up to its name. The fabric feels genuinely soft against the skin and stays comfortable even after hours of wear. It’s not clingy or rough, and it breathes well enough to keep you cool on a hot afternoon. For everyday comfort, they’re noticeably better than basic cotton shorts that can feel stiff or scratchy. One of the features that makes these a practical choice is the pockets. They’re real pockets — roomy enough to hold your phone, wallet, keys, or whatever you carry on a quick outing. That’s worth calling out because a lot of lounge shorts feel great but skimp on usable storage. These don’t. The fit is relaxed without being sloppy. The elastic waistband with drawstring adjusts easily and stays comfortable through activity or inactivity. They don’t dig in or feel restrictive, which makes them easy to wear for sleeping, working from home, watching TV, or walking the dog. Build quality is solid for the price point. The stitching holds up through wear and washes, and the shorts don’t lose shape or shrink dramatically after laundering. They’re not going to feel like premium athletic gear or performance fabrics, but for what they are — casual cotton shorts — they stay reliable over time. These aren’t going to be your choice for intense workouts, formal occasions, or anything that demands technical fabrics, but for everyday comfort and simplicity, they’re hard to beat. Soft, breathable cotton with pockets and a dependable fit makes these shorts versatile and easy to wear on repeat. Overall, these Fruit of the Loom Eversoft shorts are exactly what most people want from casual summertime wear: comfortable, practical, and dependable. Five stars for everyday use and solid comfort.

Comfortable Everyday Cotton Shorts
Size: XX-Large, Color: 2 Pack - Black
Soft fabric, good stretch, and a relaxed fit that lands at a perfect length, these shorts hit that sweet spot between lounge wear and quick‑errand gear. The waistband has enough give without feeling flimsy, the pockets are actually usable, and the overall feel stays comfortable through the day. For the price, they’re an easy pickup that delivers exactly what you want from simple cotton shorts.

Good for the price
Size: X-Large, Color: 2 Pack - Black
they're very good for the price. There's definitely alot of noticeable cost cutting (material feels kind of thin, and the inside of the shorts look "rough" and unfinished). But still they look good and are comfortable and light. Great for summer and will live up to their price. fits well.

They are comfortable!
Size: X-Large, Color: 2 Pack - Navy
I really like them. Pockets are very helpful and the size was right for me eventhough it was suggested a size bigger. Washed both already and noticed no shrinkage. Very comfortable and the length is just above the knees. Great for hanging about, in the gym or even a trip to the store.
