The Bagel Report

Welcome to 2020 (those zeroes are actually bagels named Esther and Erin)! Esther went to Disneyland and saw Star Wars; Erin went to the Golden Globes and met Baby Yoda. After talking TV, movies and unsung women who made a musical impact, Esther talks New Year's resolutions, and Erin has feelings about "The Nanny" heading to Broadway (with songs by Adam Schlesinger and Rachel Bloom!).

Deck the halls with lots of latkes! On this Hanukkah-filled (and yet slightly Star Wars-themed) episode, Esther and Erin talk decadent sufganiyot and Sephardic rosquitas; how you eat your latkes; a multiplicity of menorahs, and of course, the war on Hanukkah music. It's our last episode of 2019...more to come in 2020! Here are the things we talked about in this week's episode if you want to check them out! Kwanzaa article

Maisel days are here again, and we'll be laughing until Passover! This week Esther and Erin discuss Season 3 of Amazon's "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" (yes, spoilers, so finish already!). What we loved, what we could have done without, and, of course, our "weird asks." Plus, it's okay to cry during the Wonder Woman 84 trailer, right?    Follow Erin, Esther and The Bagel Report on Twitter!

Erin and Esther share Thanksgiving parade memories; talk new offerings from their favorite comedic ManJews; discuss American Pickle (sort of), the 'Friends' Holiday Armadillo and "Jewish" Hallmark movies; and potentially launch a new business. Plus, trying to imagine what kind of household would need an Auschwitz Christmas Ornament, and getting ready to receive a new season of 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.'   Follow Erin and Esther on social media!

Thankful for streaming and social media, Erin and Esther explore Disney+ offerings including the Mandalorian and Jeff Goldblum's new show; schmooze about their theater kid pasts; address fan rebellions against content creators who are "mishandling" treasured stories; and talk turkey about popular culture building relationship bridges. Plus what we're looking forward to at the box office (including "Frozen 2: Do You Wanna Build Another Snowman?") and on streaming...just in time for Gratitudesgiving.  Follow Erin and Esther on Twitter!

Erin and Esther share their excitement about comedian Tiffany Haddish's upcoming bat mitzvah and her comedy special "Black Mitzvah," and share thoughts and feelings about Switzerland's “The Awakening of Motti Wolkenbruch,” now on Netflix. Also, just because “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” is off the air doesn't mean we're not going to talk about its brilliance, especially now that show star and co-creator Rachel Bloom is auctioning show memorabilia to benefit the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). She's such a menschette. And at the center of this triangle of topics is little ol' us. :)   Follow Erin and Esther on Twitter!
