The Movie Mensches

Join Jacob Cromwell and Minnah Stein as they watch Jewish movies, new and old, to create a Canon of 10 Jewish films that reflect a diverse and modern Jewish life in America. As film lovers they are familiar with the classic list (AFI, Sight & Sound) but want to create a list more representative of their experiences and generation. Every week they discuss films with Jewish themes, actors, settings, and filmmakers and ask the question, "does this belong in the canon?"

Funny Girl

This week, Minnah and Jacob are talking about Funny Girl. The two discuss this musical based on a real comedian and actress, and address the ways in which it reclaims the stereotype, "Jewish American Princess."

After a short break next week, Jacob and Minnah will be back to talk about Superman (2025).

But until then, let's stay in touch! Be sure to follow us for all your podcast updates and jewish film news.
