A Real Pain (Jesse Eisenberg, 2024)

In this episode we discuss the upcoming film A Real Pain, a comedy-drama about two cousins on a Jewish heritage tour in Poland, exploring themes of grief and identity with humor. The film, written by Jesse Eisenberg, balances heavy themes with comedic moments, reflecting on "dark tourism" and the complexities of memorializing the Holocaust.

We also look back at our summer outdoor screening of Wicked and discuss the rise, and return of, the spoof.
