As a new year starts, the Bagels welcome back ultimate cinephile Jodi Berman Kustanovich (of bermanoscarblog.blogspot.com) for a report on the 365+ movies she saw in 2020. Topics include how increased access is great for movie lovers and “feeling seen” by streaming algorithms. Then Jodi announces her top 10 list (and Esther and Erin share their Top 5s from 2020). In summary, we’re just three Jews standing in front of pop culture, asking it to love them.
