Welcome to Late Night Roundup, a rundown of the previous night’s highlights that lets you sleep — and lets us get paid to watch comedy. Here are the 50 best movies on Netflix right now.
Just ’Cause
Pope Leo XIV delivered a speech in Cameroon on Thursday, expressing “woe to those who manipulate religion and the very name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.”
Stephen Colbert said the head of the Catholic Church “came back swinging” in what he called President Trump’s “ongoing papal feud,” or “yet another day when the entire world is on edge over Donald Trump’s senseless and elective war — with the pope.”
“Damn, son, the pope just read you for darkness and filth.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“If you don’t know, and you may not, a ‘just war’ is a Catholic doctrine that goes all the way back to the church fathers, St. Ambrose and St. Augustine. There are many criteria, including: It must be in self-defense once all peace efforts have failed. Only then can the war can be said to have ‘just cause.’ As opposed to Trump, who appears to have taken us to war just ’cause.” — STEPHEN COLBERT
“And the pope wasn’t done pope-ing, because today, he was in Cameroon and he said, ‘The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants.’ Whoo. Handful of tyrants — that is rough. Even worse when you look at the hand.” — STEPHEN COLBERT, referring to a photo of a purplish bruise on the back of Mr. Trump’s right hand.
The Punchiest Punchlines (Arc de Trump Edition)
“But it’s an idea Trump lifted from the Arc de Triomphe of Paris, which was commissioned to honor French war heroes. The Arc de Triomphe has the names of generals who fought and died for France engraved on its face. Ours will have the name of the draft dodger who killed America on it.” — JIMMY KIMMEL, on the new ‘Triumphal Arch’ President Trump hopes to build near Arlington National Cemetery
“Trump’s arch is opposed by a lot of people, including a coalition of veterans and preservationists. They are his arch archnemeses, if you will.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“It’s going to be beautiful. It strikes the perfect balance between Scientology and Liberace that we have come to expect from our president.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“It will be situated near Arlington National Cemetery, the burial site of thousands of American soldiers whose fathers weren’t leasing office space to a podiatrist.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“Arlington, it’s a beautiful place. It’s set up uniformly so that each grave is given equal significance. Until now. Now, this will loom above it all.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
“The question still remains as to whether the administration will get congressional approval for the project. And though I haven’t done any digging on this yet, I can say with 100 percent certainty that they will not.” — JIMMY KIMMEL
