Cultural Learnings From Borat For Make Benefit Glorious JCast Network Podcast PopTorah


Listen Later

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.

Borat is back, and he’s…still outrageous. But while provocateur Sacha Baron Cohen still shocks as the titular Kazakh reporter on “assignment” in America, the Borat sequel actually points to prescient and poignant issues like the rise of American authoritarianism, the proliferation and weaponization of propaganda, disinformation, and dangerous conspiracy theories, and misogyny — topics that are even more relevant in this tumultuous and anxious election season. Join Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky as they unpack all of this while putting it in a Jewish context.
