Jews on Film: Exploring Jewish Stories & Themes in Cinema Bottoms w/ Raye Schiller
Daniel and Harry are joined by comedian and co-host of the Yenta podcast, Raye Schiller to discuss the 2023 film "Bottoms" directed by Emma Seligman.
First, they unravel how PJ and Josie's sarcasm and lies unwittingly sow chaos among their classmates. Then, they dissect the tribalism between school cliques, revealing subtle Jewish undertones. Finally, they explore Rachel Sennot’s knack for portraying Jewish-coded characters and her standout role in this film.
As always, they close out the episode by ranking the film's "Jewishness" in terms of its cast & crew, content, and themes.
