After some initial reflections on the Inauguration—in an episode recorded before Bernie Sanders became a coat-swaddled meme—the Bagels talk about Jewish rituals that mark moments of change. Erin is both bored by and getting costume inspiration from “Pretend It’s a City,” Netflix’s Fran Lebowitz documentary series. Plus, a conversation about the new season of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” inspires an Esther tangent about how people get their names and which Jewish themes the series should tackle next. And in the Bagel Wishful Casting Department, tackling rumors about Sorkin’s “I Love Lucy” film and a wish list of young Willy Wonkas.
