This week, Minnah and Jacob discuss the 1988 film, Crossing Delancey. Now that Jacob is feeling open to love, the two discuss romantic comedies as a genre, the success of the relationship between the two leads, and what the film says about how tradition fits into a modern lifestyle. Does it make it into the canon? Listen to find out. Next week, they travel somewhere over the rainbow for a conversation on The Wizard of Oz.

Crossing Delancey

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 &amp; 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?"
