We Still Believe in ‘Ted Lasso’ Sep 17, 2026
Show notes

Five years ago, we declared that we believed in Ted Lasso, whose radical kindness and relentless optimism felt like just what the world needed. Now Ted is back — this time coaching AFC Richmond’s new women’s team — and so are we. In this episode of PopTorah, we return to the Torah of Ted Lasso and ask what Season 4 has to teach us about starting over, taking chances, building community, confronting inequality, and believing in people — including ourselves — even when we have no idea how things are going to turn out.

Rabbis Michael Knopf and Jesse Olitzky are lifelong friends, pop culture fanboys, and lovers of all things Jewish. Join them every other week for a conversation about what’s going on in pop culture from a Jewish perspective and about Judaism through the lens of pop culture.

You Seem Pretty Sad for a “Spider-Man” So in Love Aug 27, 2026
Show notes

In this spoiler-filled episode of PopTorah, Rabbis Knopf and Olitzky debate whether Spider-Man: Brand New Day succeeds as a Spider-Man story — or gets tangled in the MCU’s ever-expanding web. Along the way, we explore Peter Parker’s self-imposed isolation, the ways protecting others can become an excuse for keeping them at a distance, and the Torah’s insistence that “it is not good for a human being to be alone.” Does great responsibility sometimes mean great loneliness? Join us as we get into the swing of things!

The Odyssey and the Long Road Home Aug 13, 2026
Show notes

Christopher Nolan turns one of Western literature’s oldest homecoming stories into something darker: an epic about war, moral consequence, and the difficult work of return. In this spoiler-filled episode of PopTorah, we discuss how Nolan transforms Odysseus from a triumphant hero into a man slowly awakening to the destruction he has caused—and what the film’s treatment of hospitality, violated peace, guilt, and accountability reveals through a Jewish lens. Is it possible to come home after war has changed you? Can time heal wounds without teshuvah? And do those who disregard the moral order ultimately pay for what they destroy?

A ‘Toy Story’ for the Anxious Generation Jul 30, 2026
Show notes

What happens when playtime gives way to screen time? In this episode of PopTorah, we explore Toy Story 5’s encounter between beloved old-school toys and a new generation of smart devices. Along the way, we discuss parenting in the age of tablets and social media, the pressure children feel to fit in, what technology does to imagination and genuine connection, and why Judaism insists that our worth comes not from followers, rankings, or likes, but from being created in the image of God.

‘Disclosure Day’ Asks: Can We Handle the Truth? Jul 16, 2026
Show notes

What if humanity learned, once and for all, that we are not alone? In this spoiler-filled episode of PopTorah, we dive into Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, a film about revelation, secrecy, fear, and the courage to face truths that powerful people would rather keep hidden. Along the way, we discuss what extraterrestrial life might mean for faith, whether discovering we are not alone would diminish or deepen our sense of awe, and how Judaism helps us think about truth, empathy, and the moral challenge of welcoming the radically other. Disclosure Day asks not only whether we can handle the truth, but whether learning the truth about extraterrestrial life might make us more human — and why authoritarian power is so threatened by anything that turns “them” into “us.”

Borrowed Time in The Boroughs Jul 02, 2026
Show notes

In this episode of PopTorah, we dive into Netflix’s new supernatural sci-fi series The Boroughs, about a group of unlikely heroes in a seemingly perfect retirement community who discover that their “golden years” may be more dangerous — and more meaningful — than anyone imagined. The series, produced by the Duffer Brothers of Stranger Things fame, centers on a mysterious threat trying to steal the one thing its characters don’t have enough of: time. Join us for a spoiler-filled conversation about aging, mortality, friendship, courage, and what it means to choose life when the world assumes your best years are behind you.

Hacking It: Ambition, Reinvention, and the Friends We Make Along the Way Jun 18, 2026
Show notes

In this episode of PopTorah, we dive into the acclaimed HBO series Hacks. Beneath the sharp jokes and show-business drama lies a surprisingly rich story about reinvention, aging, ambition, and the complicated relationships that shape us. Through the evolving partnership between Deborah and Ava, Hacks asks what we owe one another, whether people can truly change, and how we find purpose when the identities we’ve built for ourselves no longer fit. Join us for a spoiler-filled conversation about ego and growth, forgiveness and accountability, friendship and rivalry, and why some of life’s most meaningful transformations happen when we’re forced to start over.

The Amen Corner — Amen Corner Season 10, Episode 26 Jun 07, 2026
Show notes

This week, in a super very special Amen Corner, our guest is Rabbi Stephanie Ruskay. Stephanie is not only the wife of our producer Darone, but she’s running for New York State Assembly. She took time to speak with us about the issues that are important to her, her reasons for running, and why her candidacy is historic. We laughed, learned and got inspired — have a listen!

Is The Mandalorian and Grogu the Way? Jun 04, 2026
Show notes

Star Wars is back on the big screen, and in this episode of PopTorah, we discuss The Mandalorian and Grogu alongside a broader conversation about the state of Star Wars and franchise storytelling in the age of streaming. What is the difference between fan service and meaningful storytelling? What happens when institutions focus more on keeping insiders happy than inspiring newcomers? Along the way, we explore themes of found family, mentorship, and belonging, asking what fandoms and faith communities can learn from one another in their shared search for meaning, connection, and a way forward.
