PopTorah

The Rabbis Enter ‘the Spider-Verse’


Listen Later

 ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-verse’ is the sequel to the hit 2018 animated adventure ‘Spider-man: Into the Spider-verse,’ and the second part of a planned trilogy following Miles Morales as the titular wall-crawler, along with hundreds of other spider-people. Our friendly neighborhood web-heads, Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky, want to talk about the high-flying, wise-cracking, multiverse spanning escapades, but ever since they were bit by those radioactive rabbis, all they want to do is talk about issues like free-will vs. predestination, the divinity of diversity, accepting people for who they are, and the meaning of the multiverse. Lucky for us all, ’Spider-Man’ has all this — and more! Watch out, here comes PopTorah!

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.
