The Bagel Report

Does Sacha Baron Cohen traffic in satire or stumbling blocks? Anticipating Borat 2, Erin and Esther puzzle over the line between deception and shining a light on bad behavior. The Bagels then scratch their heads over the epidemic of TV casts reuniting to save democracy, specifically in Wisconsin (and Texas); say goodbye to “Away”‘s Jewish astronaut, and meet “Grand Army”‘s Jewish character who doesn’t know where she belongs. The Chicago 7 had much Sorkinating but taught us a lot, and Erin shares her feelings about the political split among members of the original Beach Boys.
