A great filmmaker doesn’t have to be some old guy sitting in Hollywood with a fancy camera, he just has to leave you with some sort of feeling even after the movie is over.

The Strange Squad gives their reflection of Farosty and Shimmer’s viral video, “Paki Gang,” we talk about Vine 2, and give our thoughts on Trump declaring Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

In the different sides of the Israel vs Palestine story, we sit down to hear the perspective from an Israeli who has served in their military. Our guest tells us what his solution could be and expresses his hopes in the future of this conflict. He also tells us about his aspirations as a filmmaker and how his culture incorporates into his style.

DISCLAIMER: Since the release of this episode, the guest requested that his last name be removed as well as a statement be issued to address his concern of inaccuracies in his conversation on Strange Flavors. Here is his statement:

"My first language is not English. Therefore much of what I say can be misinterpreted. I asked Strange Flavors to clarify many of my points in the next podcast. To get a full understanding of the podcast, the culture of Israel and Judaism, I highly recommend to listen to the statement in the following podcast."

Strange Flavors remains neutral in these statements but has agreed to the requests proposed by the guest for privacy purposes. We believe it is our responsibility to remain authentic and transparent in our work to you, the listener. We thank you for respecting these values. Enjoy the show!

The Strange Squad talks about the Eminem BET Cypher freestyle and a new Netflix show similar to the Adnan Syed story in the first Serial podcast.
