In this week’s episode, Daniel and Harry are joined by guest Yuli Masinovsky as they discuss Seth Rogen’s - perhaps most personal but certainly most Jewish - film, 2020’s An American Pickle. Join them as they discuss the film’s rootedness in Jewish themes of remembrance, consider the convincingness of Rogen’s accent as Herschel, and debate the movie’s adherence to and diversion from typical Hollywood fare. As always, they end the episode by ranking the film’s Jewishness in its production, content, and themes.
Guest is Yuli Masinovsky, writer's agent and owner of Silver Lake Entertainment.
