Rabbis Michael Knopf and Jesse Olitzky are lifelong friends, pop culture fanboys, and lovers of all things Jewish. Join them every other week for a conversation about what’s going on in pop culture from a Jewish perspective and about Judaism through the lens of pop culture.
The new film The Mitchells vs. the Machines, now streaming on Netflix, is one of the most inventive, compelling, and original animated features to come out in years. If you’re looking for good family-friendly fun, look no further. But the movie is more than belly laughs and gorgeous eye-candy; it explores rich themes like the complicated dynamics in the relationships between parents and children, and the complexities of life in the digital age. Join Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky as they discuss what the movie brought up for them as children, as parents, and as rabbis in the 21st century.
