Log into your Sugar Baby app and get ready for comments about your appearance because we are discussing Emma Seligman's Shiva Baby (2020).

Joining us is returning guest Lindsay Traves, who unpacks all of the Jewish elements from Shiva coffee to accusations of "Jew Face."

Plus: Dianna Agron's "shiksa goddess" and Jewish beauty ideals, tackling the depiction of sex work and bisexuality, Jewish character actors, and Sugaring apps.
