exploitation

At one point in Jonathan Kesselman\’s \”Jewish exploitation\” comedy, \”The Hebrew Hammer,\” Mordechai Jefferson Carver strides into a seedy skinhead bar wearing a long leather coat, a black fedora, pais, a tallit and an oversized gold chai. A chalkboard advertises beer on tap such as Old Adolf, but the titular superhero orders \”Manischewitz, straight up.\” Then he crashes a bottle over the bartender\’s head, whips out two sawed-off shotguns and shouts, \”Shabbat Shalom, Motherf——s!\”\n\nIn this outrageous world of the Hammer (Adam Goldberg), the Orthodox Jewish hero must battle the evil son of Santa (Andy Dick) to save Chanukah.
