Specifically, Patricia enters confession and asks a priest for guidance about her spooky situation. “Bless me, Father, for I have sinned—a lot,” she starts off in the expletive-laced scene below. “I have a church related question.

The Golden Raspberry Awards (or the Razzies) are the one time of year when the film industry gets called out for dropping box office flops and critically ravaged films.

Francis went further; taking over lead vocals on the 2004 A Ghost Is Born fan-favorite. That…
