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 94th Academy Awards are fast approaching, and Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky are here to talk about the Torah of this year’s Best Picture nominees. In this special episode, we discuss Licorice Pizza, CODA, King Richard, Nightmare Alley, West Side Story, and The Power of the Dog (and check out previous episodes on Dune and Don’t Look Up). Who should walk away with this year’s top prize? Who will win? And, most importantly, which movie has the deepest Torah? Join us and find out!
