   Ep 46: Re'eh x Fyre Festival

   Valerie and Shoshana (and cat Sumi) discuss both the Netflix and Hulu documentaries featuring Billy McFarland and Fyre Festival in comparison with Parashat Re'eh. Don't worry, they don't think Moshe scammed us... Or do they? Also, Valerie weighs in on festival experiences in general and Shoshana claims that Glee created COVID to avoid a plot hole. <3

   Ep 45: Eikev x Big Fish

   Sorry for the late upload! It's our third week of the same old stories, via the ~Moshe Swan Song~. Val and Shoshana compare this to 2003's Big Fish (Tim Burton??). A stacked cast and yet... What's the opposite of an instant classic? But, both the parashah and the movie redeem themselves by helping us think about the nature of stories, and the way archetype functions. NICE! Plus, Val tries her hand at bagel ASMR. LOVE U LIL BURPS!!! xxoo
