Connect return of a method to signal - possible?

Hi Qt-fans, I started some time ago with Qt (in PySide) and working now with C++ (where I am new – more or less). And I want to request data from TheMovieDB API with a getPopularMovies() method that should return a list of “MovieObjects” – they are holding just some arguments (Title, Image path …) and have some get/set methods. My problem is the following: To do the request I use QNetworkManager’s get method, which works pretty well, but due to the async nature it seems you should/have to connect the finished() signal to a SLOT. So I can’t do the request and everything else (like parsing response) in one method. So I connected it to an evauate slot, that reads the JSON data from QNetworkReply and creates a list of MovieObjects. After they are created a finished() signal I implemented is emited. It would be great, if I could use return in getPopularMovies(), depending on my finished signal. Say something like that: connect(this, SIGNAL, return <My list of objects>) Is something like that possible? Or do I need another function, to get the list? So that I call first searchPopularMovies() and than after this is finished a getPopularMovies() method? Thanks in advance, AlphaX2.
