And the Nominees Are… Sometimes Jewy

Hold onto your invisible kippahs (especially while drinking water during the impeachment trial), because the Bagels are talking awards show nominations, challenging Hollywood to create more thoughtful Jewish portrayals, and wishing a mazal tov to Steven Spielberg on being named the Genesis Prize Laureate for 2021. Plus, Erin knows Broadway musicals so well that she can use the term “choreo,” while Esther brainstorms about casting Julia Garner and Shira Haas as sisters in something. And this week’s speed round might be the speediest yet! (Which is to say, not all that speedy, but speedier than usual, so we will take the win.) Finally, with Valentine’s Day approaching, and since Esther’s celebrating her nephew’s bar mitzvah and Erin her brother’s birthday virtually due to pandemic concerns, it’s time to think differently about love. Sending big Bagel love to all our listeners!
