Jews on Film: Exploring Jewish Stories & Themes in Cinema Airplane! w/ Eli Lebowicz
Daniel and Harry are joined by comedian Eli Lebowicz to discuss the 1980 film "Airplane!" directed by Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker.
They discuss the film’s layered, Talmudic approach to humor, uncover the Biblical origins of Jewish sarcasm, and consider how much longer the famous Jewish athletes leaflet would be in 2023!
As always, they close out the episode by ranking the film's "Jewishness" in terms of its cast & crew, content, and themes.
