  • This is important

    In the episode with Agnes Borinsky. You were trying to think of a queer pun on “Maimonides.” And I do not understand why you didn’t say Bi-monides. This is bi erasure at its most insidious!!! Five stars this is a great podcast!!!!!!!!!

Act like your movie is already made during the writing process, as this can inspire new ideas and clarity about your film's direction.
"The most Jewish romcom ever made" with Jonah Feingold
Q: What makes '31 Candles' stand out as a Jewish rom-com?
The authenticity and joy represented in Jewish culture are what set it apart. It's about celebrating Jewish joy even in dark times.
"The most Jewish romcom ever made" with Jonah Feingold
Q: What are your thoughts on modern romance and how it reflects in films?
Rom-coms have been diluted over time, losing their substance and authenticity. They should reflect real emotion and relationships rather than adhere to clichés and formulas.
"The most Jewish romcom ever made" with Jonah Feingold
Q: Can you tell us about the chemistry in casting actors for your film?
Chemistry in casting is crucial, and I consider it a chemical reaction that cannot be faked. Familiar pairings like Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone often work because they share a certain energetic similarity.
"Secular kid at Orthodox school" with comedian Liz Glazer!!
Q: What do you hate about Reform Judaism?
Glazer emphasizes that it's not about hatred but rather recognizing differences and noting the focus on kindness in Reform that could enrich Orthodox practices.
