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 ‘Space Jam: A New Legacy,’ currently in theaters and streaming on HBO Max, is (spoiler alert) not stellar. But is there more to it than a nonsensical plot, terrible performances by basketball superstars, and a blatant cash-grab by Warner Bros.? Join Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky as they discuss the Torah hidden within this mess of a movie, touching on issues like parent-child relationships, honoring people for their unique gifts, and finding joy in what you do.
