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.

Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky welcome special guest Rev. Dr. Corey D. B. Walker (Wake Forest Professor of the Humanities at Wake Forest University) to discuss the new film Judas and the Black Messiah, exploring liberation as a spiritual and religious concern, considering whether some forms of extremism can actually be right and good, and examining what it takes to build diverse coalitions for social justice and sustain a multiracial democracy.
