    Welcome to The Reel Schmooze with ToI film reviewer Jordan Hoffman and host Amanda Borschel-Dan, where we bring you all the entertainment news and film reviews a Jew can use. This week, we hear scintillating updates on Hoffman's test drive of his new snow blower before launching into our two Schmoovies of the week. First, we discuss "33 photos from the Ghetto," which explores the saga of a trove of previously unpublished photographs of the Nazis brutally suppressing the 1943 Warsaw Ghetto Revolt that was captured in secret by a Polish firefighter while German forces set the Jewish ghetto ablaze. We learn how the images were accidentally discovered -- and how they complement another set that was sent to the United States decades earlier. The film, distributed on HBO Max since International Holocaust Remembrance Day, evokes mixed feelings from our team. We then turn to Jesse Einsenberg's 2024 "A Real Pain." It was a second viewing of the film for our duo and one of them had a change of heart from the repeat performance. Check out the one "meh" and one "not bad" film (our highest mark) in this week's The Reel Schmooze.

    You probably should be burping your house: every morning, every evening and whenever you get the urge throughout the day, tbh. Jessie Stephens explains to Emily Vernem and Holly Wainwright why not doing that is… a lil bit gross. And while we’re hygiene-sharing, Em has a question for the group: How many pairs of underwear do you take if you are going away for a weekend? Holly thought she knew the answer to this question, but she’s definitely wrong. Also, how many risks are parents allowed to take? We’re talking about Alex Honnold and Sanni McCandles - the man who just climbed a skyscraper with no ropes, net or parachute, and the mother of his little kids who watched him do it. Is it okay to just… carry on regardless with your passions, however isolating or deadly they are, once you have kids? Plus: Be more “vegan + bacon”. Why that’s not an oxymoron, but a philosophy to live by in 2026. Oh, and recommendations. Which this week include:Emily’s underwear edit - including Nala (the sexiest Aussie pants) and many more. Holly’s enthusiasm for Oscar-nommed Marty Supreme, in cinemas now, and a high-brow discussion about Timothée's bottom. And Jessie is watching The Pitt, Season Two, on HBO Max. Urgent addition!

    “Heated Rivalry,” “Pillion,” and the New Drama of the Closet

    Critics at Large | The New Yorker

    “Heated Rivalry,” a low-budget Canadian series that began streaming on HBO Max late last year, quickly made the leap from unexpected word-of-mouth success to full-blown cultural phenomenon. The show, which follows a pair of professional hockey players who fall for each other, has been name-checked by everyone from the N.H.L. commissioner to Zohran Mamdani; its two young leads, Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie, just served as Olympic torch-bearers. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz unpack “Heated Rivalry” 's appeal, considering its embrace of earnestness and its place in a broader lineage of stories about gay love. The way the protagonists are forced to hide their relationship recalls dramas set in earlier eras, from E. M. Forster's “Maurice” to Annie Proulx's “Brokeback Mountain”—but the function of the closet in art is ever-evolving. The hosts also discuss “Pillion,” a new film starring Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling, which features parents who are supportive of their son's gayness but in the dark about his life as a sub. “It's interesting, these contemporary stories where gay relationships are, in the larger culture, totally accepted—and that there are sort of closets within closets,” Cunningham says. “There's a deeper place that others cannot go.”See Critics at Large live: the hosts will be discussing “Wuthering Heights” onstage at the 92nd Street Y on February 19th.

Welches neue Wappen kann sich der Heckenritter für seinen Schild leisten? Sollte er vielleicht ein Pferd verkaufen, um sich eine neue Rüstung leisten zu können?

    Over hele kloden er tv-seere blevet kollektivt forelskede i to rivaliserende ishockeyspillere. For den nye tv-serie ’Heated Rivalry’ gør det umuligt ikke at gispe efter vejret, når man følger romancen mellem de to hovedkarakterer Shane Hollander og Ilya Rozanov. Førstnævnte er kontrolleret og loyal, sidstnævnte er provokerende og fuld af overraskelser. Reaktionen lod ikke vente på sig. Sociale medier gik i selvsving, og skuespillerne fik et lyn-gennembrud. For mange føltes det som et tydeligt ekko af det øjeblik, hvor Isak og Even i ’Skam’ samlede et helt internet omkring én kærlighedshistorie. Ikke fordi fortællingerne er ens – men fordi følelsen er den samme. Den kollektive forelskelse. Nu er serien endelig landet på HBO Max i Danmark. I dette afsnit taler vi derfor om ’Heated Rivalry’ og dykker ned i alt fra seriens hede sexscener til dens inspirerede måde at gøre kærlighed mellem to mænd til en universel fortælling. PANEL Mads Axelsen, radiovært og DJ. Anbefaling: Se filmen ‘Wuthering Heights’, når den får premiere, samt lyt til filmens soundtrack af Charli XCX. Sargun Oshana, teaterinstruktør. Anbefaling: Se realityserien The Boyfriend’ på Netflix. Sol Amanda Wendel, journalist og dokumentarist. Anbefaling: Se animeserien ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ på Crunchyroll. Vært: Lucia Odoom.

    New Year's resolutions hit everyone differently. Some people vow to slim down, shake up their love life, chase a new career, or finally finish that long‑abandoned project. Others aim for something a little more fun. Co‑host Mike admitted he's been sitting on a mountain of genre films he's never seen, so we figured—why not turn that into our annual tradition? Each co‑host picked a genre title they'd always meant to watch, dove in, and came back ready to talk about it.This year's cinematic spread is a wild one: Lucio Fulci's 1981 Lovecraft‑soaked nightmare The HOUSE BY THE CEMETERY, the 2015 supernatural noir HE NEVER DIED, the 2025 festival‑favorite EDGAR ALLEN POE'S THE OVAL PORTRAIT, HBO Max's electrifying STRANGER THINGS Season 4, and the scrappy, sci‑fi‑comedy debut from John Carpenter and Dan O'Bannon, DARK STAR.As we kick off another year of deep dives and dark delights, Dark Discussions wishes all our listeners a fantastic 2026.

    Recapping The Dead Files “Am I Crazy?” (Season 1 Episode 6) which aired 2011. This week, we kick off Season 7 by revisiting “Am I Crazy?”, a case that asks a familiar question with an uncomfortable twist: is the homeowner losing her grip on reality, or uncovering a long-buried truth no one wanted exposed?In Great Falls, Montana, Kelly believes she's being contacted by the spirit of Valeria Gibson, a woman erased from the historical record and dismissed in death as “hysterical.”Through dreams, intuition, and a growing pile of unsettling clues, Kelly uncovers a story that doesn't match the official version, and medium Amy Allan corroborates that story.As Steve Dischiavi digs for missing blueprints, vanished records, and suspicious inconsistencies, a pattern emerges: when women tell the truth, history has a habit of calling them unstable. But three women—Valeria, Kelly, and Amy—tell the same story across time.She's not crazy. She's just not being believed.So… is this a haunting? A cover-up?

    There are always constraints when it comes to conservation. Finances, logistics, population dynamics, medicine, and general care all need to be considered when asking: how do we best care for our planet? This episode, Dr. Samantha Yammine is joined by Forrest Galante, a wildlife conservationist and biologist to discuss his new series Vantara: Sanctuary Stories, now streaming on HBOMax and Discovery+. Sam and Forrest talk about the peaks and valleys of modern conservation and how the animal sanctuary Vantara is unique in the way it cares for the hundreds of thousands of animals that live there. Sam also explores a new study that provides evidence that helping others slows cognitive decline and recent research on how elite performers reach the pinnacle of their fields.

This week we're kicking off The Dumpster Fire Corner, a quick way to discuss the latest news in our messed up world. Trump is back on his Greenland nonsense: floating taking it by force, firing off a letter to Norway's PM about not caring about peace anymore (sir, Norway doesn't hand out the Nobel), and tanking global markets because he will not log off. Public support is in the gutter, allies are understandably nervous, and experts warn that invading Greenland would effectively nuke NATO. Meanwhile, a German study confirms what we've all been saying: 96% of U.S. tariffs are paid by Americans, not foreign exporters, because of course they are. Then we unpack the rise of the “2016 Trend," and why everyone's suddenly sharing photos from ten years ago. Then Pam breaks down what might be the first meme of 2026: not explaining yourself. From a viral TikTok comment about “365 buttons” to the broader rise of vagueposting, we ask whether this is chaotic nonsense, elite gatekeeping, or actually the perfect mantra for the year ahead. And yes, we absolutely speculate on what Tamara did with those buttons. This week's recommendations: Andrew shouts out a Stanley Steamer deep clean, Laura recommends The Pitt on HBO Max, and Pam loves HBO Max's Like Water for Chocolate. And in this week's installment of After Dark:  We're reflecting on 11 years of this show, past oversharing, former partners in old content, aging out of wild anecdotes, and what we'd do differently (or never change).

    Kathleen Kennedy Steps Down from Lucasfilm, Zootopia 2 and Marty Supreme Hit Box Office Milestones and Netflix Makes it Rain

    Last week Lucasfilm announced that Kathleen Kennedy is stepping down from her role as studio president, a position she has held since Disney's 2012 acquisition. Succeeding her are George Lucas' protégé and Ahsoka creator Dave Filoni, who will oversee the franchise's creative direction as co-president alongside former Lucasfilm General Manager Lynwen Brennan handling the business side of things. Kennedy still has an active hand as an executive producer of both Star War's next theatrical offerings: May's The Mandalorian & Grogu as well as 2027's Starfighter and will continue to produce other projects independently. Kennedy's tenure saw its fair share of highs and lows, especially contending with an often fickle fandom, but with multibillion dollar films under her belt her exit marks the end of an era.It was a surprisingly noteworthy MLK weekend box office– outside of Avatar: Fire & Ash's continuing reign, Marty Supreme became A24's top-performing film of all time with 80 million dollars domestically, surpassing Everything Everywhere All at Once, while Zootopia 2 became the highest-grossing animated film of all time globally with over 1.7 billion dollars, passing Inside Out 2. Meanwhile, Nia DaCosta's 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple opened below expectations with just 15 million dollars over the four-day weekend, falling well short of the 30-million-dollar debut of its predecessor and behind tracking projections of 20 million dollars. Despite the horror sequel's muted debut, it's been an unusually robust box office this January.Netflix has revised its $83 billion dollar deal for Warner Bros. Discovery to an all-cash transaction valued at $27.75 dollars per share, simplifying the structure to provide greater certainty of value for shareholders and accelerate the path to a shareholder vote by April. The amended deal, unanimously approved by both boards, maintains the same per-share valuation while WBD stockholders will still receive additional value from shares of Discovery Global following its spinoff, with Netflix financing the deal through cash on hand, credit facilities and committed financing. This update comes on the heels of Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos' renewed promise to keep WB studio films in theaters for at least 45 days before hitting streaming.Prime Video has released a first look photo of Sophie Turner as Lara Croft in the upcoming Tomb Raider series, which has begun production.Hans Zimmer, who has scored more than 500 movies and TV projects, will officially score the upcoming Harry Potter series for HBO Max in partnership with Bleeding Fingers Music, a composer collective that he co-founded.Sons of Anarchy star Ryan Hurst has been cast as main character Kratos in Amazon's upcoming God of War series, which is currently confirmed for two seasons and has begun pre-production. Teresa Palmer was also cast last week and will play Sif, Thor's wife and the goddess of family.Cate Blanchett has signed a deal to reprise her role as Viking warrior Valka in Universal Pictures' live-action How to Train Your Dragon 2.Warner Bros. has set Jorge R. Gutiérrez to direct an animated feature centering on the classic Looney Tunes character Speedy Gonzales, The Hollywood Reporter has exclusively learned.
