Jews on Film: Exploring Jewish Stories & Themes in Cinema Meet the Parents w/ Noah Gittell
Daniel and Harry welcome journalist, film critic, and author Noah Gittell to discuss the 2000 film "Meet The Parents" directed by Jay Roach.
Before discussing the film, Noah talks about his personal connections to the film's themes and filming locations.
Then they touch on the importance of and emphasis on honesty in the film, what happens when Jewish and WASP cultures collide with one another over dinner and how that provides an apt frame for the Jewish American experience.
As always, they close out the episode by ranking the film's "Jewishness" in terms of its cast & crew, content, and themes.
