Valerie and Shoshana watch The Handmaid's Tale Season 1, episodes 1 and 6 to draw connections about the subjugation of women in the show to experiences of the Jewish foremothers. Yay inherited trauma! Also included: Kourtney K's chaotic Instagram and the Star Wars versus Batman debate that no one asked for. 

Parashat Toldot: Shoshana and Valerie have a healthy debate about the intricacies of being a preteen twin as portrayed in 1998's seminal hit, The Parent Trap. Also they mention the parasha.

Parashat Chayei Sarah: Shoshana and Valerie talk about culture clashes and what gifts we'd demand from our mega-wealthy partners when comparing Crazy Rich Asians (2018) to this week's parasha. (Also Freud's Bar Mitzvah Parasha is Tazria-Metzorah and Shoshana's Bat Mitzvah Parasha is Ki Teitzei, in case you were wondering.)

Parashat Vayera: Shoshana and Valerie try to convince you, the listener, that Hocus Pocus (1993) thematically parallels Parashat Vayera.

Parashat Lekh Lekha: Shoshana and Valerie watch Stepmom (1998), and compare the parenting conflicts of Julia Roberts and Susan Sarandon (and Ed Harris) to Sarai and Hagar (and Avram).

We've improved the sound issues! Thank you for your patience as we find our footing in this new adventure!

Parashat Noah: Shoshana and Valerie watch Evan Almighty (2007) and see how it compares to the real deal.

Parashat Bereishit: Shoshana and Valerie compare humanity's first sin (and depictions of Eden itself!) as it appears both in Tanakh and The Simpsons Season 10 Episode 18.
