It's our first Bagelversary! The Bagels have been podcasting for a year now (check out last year's Halloween episode for our humble beginnings and more on Esther's non-Halloweeny youth). Now that we've both seen "Borat 2," we wish a hearty yasher koach to Sacha Baron Cohen for his surprisingly layered film, which provokes conversation about hatred, benign tolerance of anti-semitism, and remembering the Holocaust. Plus, our celebrity Zoom call fatigue continues as Jeff Goldblum and the Saturday Night Seder folks do their thing to save democracy (we hope). Also, Erin's 17 years late to the party, but is now obsessed with the very Jewy teen soap series "The O.C.," which Esther knows very little about. Finally, Esther makes Erin feel better about AppleTV+ nabbing the streaming rights to The Peanuts holiday specials. Thank you to all of our listeners for spending a year with us - here's to Year 2!!
