The Reel Schmooze: How everything going wrong makes ‘Bad Shabbos’ so right

Welcome to The Reel Schmooze with ToI film reviewer Jordan Hoffman and host Amanda Borschel-Dan, where we bring you all the entertainment news and film reviews a Jew can use.

This week, the pair speaks about two films — the new-ish, Jewish, “Bad Shabbos,” and the classic Mel Brooks’s “History of the World, Part I.”

But first, we turn to the segment, “What’s the Jangle,” in which we discuss two tidbits of Jewish entertainment news.

Hoffman gives a tiny peek at the upcoming super Jewy film starring Timothée Chalamet, “Marty Supreme,” which he saw in previews this week.

And then we hear Pope Leo’s top four films of all time. (Spoiler: three of them are very Jewy.) And, which questionable film personality was quoted by the pope at a Vatican event?

Next, we get to “The Main Screening,” in which the duo first discusses “Bad Shabbos,” which one half of the team absolutely loved, and the other gave a pretty warm review.

And then, we move to the classic, “History of the World, Part I,” which Borschel-Dan buckled down and watched for the first time.

Hear who gave both films a seal of approval and which was a split decision on this week’s The Reel Schmooze.
