The Bagel Report

This week’s title may sound like a verse from Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire,” but it’s only because it’s packed with weekly pop-culture info! In a week that includes both Holocaust Remembrance Day and Tu Bishvat (Jewish Arbor Day), the Bagels remember their respective trips to Poland before awkwardlyconnecting it to a conversation about “WandaVision” and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Later, Esther and Erin discuss crossover pop culture neighborhoods and compatible universes and Erin reveals a love for “Happy Days” while Esther gives us the rundown on the newest Israeli streaming content. Also, a diversion into mayonnaise thanks to Amy Schumer, and why looking to Superbowl commercials as an annual event doesn’t make sense anymore. Plus, should Esther and Erin do a video episode? Let us know by connecting with us!
