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 reviews of two films: the 2019 "An Officer and a Spy," a film by controversial director Roman Polanski on the Dreyfus Affair, which is now playing in the United States, and the shattering documentary, "The Voice of Hind Rajab." But the pair opens the program by honoring director-actor Rob Reiner, who was slain over the weekend alongside his wife, Michele. We learn about his early acting work and hear about many of his groundbreaking films that have become enduring classics. Hoffman tells us about Polanski's cinematic childhood and early adult life -- he barely survived the Holocaust and his wife, Sharon Tate, was murdered by the Manson family. We then hear how Polanski skipped out on the sentencing after pleading guilty to engaging in unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor, a 13-year-old girl he was photographing for Vogue, and has lived outside of the US ever since, but still working consistently. And after all that, we learn about the merits of the film, "An Officer and a Spy." The final movie discussed is potentially even more controversial to several listeners, "The Voice of Hind Rajab." The film portrays the attempts of the Ramallah-based Red Crescent to send an ambulance to save the six-year-old Hind, who is trapped in a war zone in northern Gaza in a car with her family, who are all dead. Using the actual soundtrack from the terrified girl's phone calls for help, the film is a carefully crafted re-enactment of the impending tragedy. Hear which film(s) got a seal of approval on this week's The Reel Schmooze.

In 1961, 23-year-old Michael Rockefeller – heir to one of America's wealthiest families and son of future Vice President Nelson Rockefeller – disappeared without a trace in the remote swamps of Dutch New Guinea (now West Papua). While collecting primitive art from the Asmat people, his boat capsized in treacherous waters. He tied gas cans to his body and swam toward shore, famously saying, "I think I can make it."He was never seen again.For decades, the official story was drowning. But persistent rumors – backed by journalist investigations, eyewitness accounts from Asmat villagers, and books like Carl Hoffman's Savage Harvest – point to a far darker fate: ritual killing and cannibalism as revenge in a culture built around headhunting and sacred violence.In this episode, we dive deep into the mystery: the colonial clashes that set the stage, the Asmat's complex worldview, the exhaustive searches, cover-up allegations, and the chilling evidence that Michael may have been speared, beheaded, and consumed in a ceremonial act.Was it tragedy, murder, or something lost in cultural collision? Join me for this unfiltered exploration of one of history's most haunting unsolved disappearances.▶️ *[WORK WITH ME]* https://RobbJarrett.net▶️ *FREE* Personal Brand Starter Kit :: https://www.medialabb.net/brandkit*[SUBSCRIPTIONS I RECOMMEND]*ABOBE CREATIVE SOFTWARE - VIDIQ (AI Creation and SEO) - https://vidiq.com/robbjarrett Motion Array (Assets) - Envato (Assets) - OPENART (AI Creation Tools)BEACONS: https://beacons.ai/signup?c=robbjarrett*[PRODUCTS I RECOMMEND]*SM7B Microphone - https://amzn.to/47AuKREMV7+ Microphone - https://amzn.to/3V7LRmABLUE YETI Microphone - https://amzn.to/3V7LRmAOBSBOT Webcam - https://amzn.to/4mcWhMFDJI Action Cam - https://amzn.to/3V44gk7DJI OSMO Gimbal - https://amzn.to/3V44gk7NEEWER Lights - https://amzn.to/4pfvMJe
Bienvenidos, cinéfilos hierberos, a un nuevo episodio de Cinefilia y Otras Hierbas, cine, televisión, música y videojuegos para escuchar.Hoy, continuamos con nuestro ciclo dedicado al gran Aaron Sorkin –ese maestro del diálogo afilado que nos hace creer que la política puede ser tan entretenida como un partido de tenis verbal–, nos sumergimos en Charlie Wilson's War, esa película del 2007 que, admitámoslo, no es la primera que viene a la mente cuando pensamos en su filmografía, pero que destila ese ingenio sorkiniano que tanto adoramos.Imaginemos el panorama: finales de los años 80, la Guerra Fría en su apogeo, y un congresista texano llamado Charlie Wilson –conocido como "Good Time Charlie" por su afición a las fiestas, el whiskey y las compañías femeninas– que, de repente, se convierte en el artífice de la operación encubierta más grande de la historia de la CIA. La película se basa en el libro homónimo de George Crile, un tomo de 500 páginas repleto de detalles históricos que Sorkin adaptó con maestría, condensando intrigas geopolíticas en diálogos que chisporrotean como fuegos artificiales. ¿Cómo llegó Sorkin al proyecto? Pues, en un raro acto de agresividad profesional –él mismo lo admite–, leyó el libro y lo persiguió con ahínco, convirtiéndolo en el único guion que ha "cazado" de esa manera. Y vaya si lo logró: su énfasis en los personajes imperfectos pero heroicos, como Wilson, que pasa de playboy a salvador de los muyahidines afganos, es puro Sorkin, recordándonos sus obras como The West Wing, donde la burocracia se vuelve poesía.Tom Hanks interpreta a Wilson con esa calidez hankiana que hace que hasta un político corrupto parezca simpático. Detrás de cámaras, el director Mike Nichols, en lo que sería su última película, aportó su toque magistral y supo manejar el caos de enemigos históricos colaborando –pakistaníes, israelíes, afganos– en la narrativa real, algo que el guion de Sorkin plasma con ironía sutil.Julia Roberts, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Amy Adams, Ned Beatty y Emily Blunt completan la constelación de estrellas de este filme que cuenta una historia tan absurda, que no puede sino ser cierta....¡Y lo es!La película fue bien recibida en general, con un 82% de aprobación en Rotten Tomatoes, donde se alaba cómo "entretiene e informa" gracias al guion astuto de Sorkin y actuaciones sólidas. Muchos críticos la vieron como una excelente comedia oscura basada en hechos reales, destacando a Hanks como un antihéroe encantador. Sin embargo, no todo fue aplausos: algunos la tildaron de "falsa y nada divertida", con "la peor actuación de la carrera de Roberts" En premios, brilló con 5 nominaciones a los Globos de Oro –mejor película comedia, actor para Hanks, actriz de reparto para Roberts, actor de reparto para Hoffman y guion para Sorkin–, más una nominación al Oscar para Hoffman como mejor actor de reparto. La Guerra de Charlie Wilson es, quizá, la película menos conocida y popular de Sorkin –eclipsada por hits como La Red Social o El Juicio de los 7 de Chicago–, y tal vez la más "floja" de su catálogo. Pero, no les quepa duda, incluso una "floja" de Sorkin es mejor que muchas de las producciones que inundan las pantallas hoy en día: cargada de inteligencia, humor sofisticado y una lección histórica que, con un guiño irónico, nos recuerda que la política puede ser absurdamente entretenida. ¿Listos para desentrañar más? ¡No se pierdan el episodio!Patreon: patreon.com/cinefiliayotrashierbasCorreo: cinefiliayotrashierbas@gmail.com No olviden suscribirse, compartir este episodio y dejar un comentario y un like, eso nos ayudará a crecer y a encontrar más audiencia. ¡Que lo disfruten!#AaronSorkin #TomHanks #Cine #JuliaRoberts

Send us a textMinnesota State House Representative Rick Hansen was first elected to represent South St. Paul in the Minnesota State House in 2004 along with his colleague Melissa Hortman who represented northern Minneapolis and went on to serve as Speaker of the Minnesota House for 6 years. On June 14, 2025, Melissa and her husband Mark were assassinated when they opened their front door to a man impersonating a police officer. The man had come from Minnesota State Senator John Hoffman's home where he had shot Senator Hoffman and his wife multiple times; their daughter called 911 and saved her parents. The assassin had a list of lawmakers to assassinate, and our guest was on that list. We discuss his experience and his thoughts about the future.

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, the pair speaks about two new movies, the feature film, "Jay Kelly," and the short documentary "Carol & Joy." But first, we hear in this week’s “Jangle” segment, an update on a story from last week regarding one of the Holocaust survivors featured in the film, "Eleanor the Great," Sami Steigmann, who was asked not to speak at a Brooklyn middle school about antisemitism due to his pro-Israel views. Our second Jangle involves the impending sale of Warner Bros Studio. Hoffman has some passionate thoughts. We then speak about "Jay Kelly," a 2025 comedy-drama directed by Noah Baumbach and written by Baumbach and Emily Mortimer. For Borschel-Dan, it was a screening in two sleepy parts that ended with a "meh" rating. Hoffman was (slightly) kinder. Both were united in their appreciation for the documentary, "Carol & Joy," directed by Nathan Silver and starring actress Carol Kane and her 98-year-old mother, Joy Kane. It is a delight of a film and... executive produced by a The Reel Schmooze regular, Natalie Portman. Hear which film got a seal of approval on this week's The Reel Schmooze.

Reid Hoffman's explanation for why he went to Jeffrey Epstein's island rests almost entirely on a familiar Silicon Valley dodge: curiosity paired with selective amnesia. Hoffman has said he viewed Epstein as a wealthy, well-connected financier who positioned himself as a bridge between tech, academia, and philanthropy, and that his presence was motivated by meetings and conversations, not indulgence. The problem with that reasoning is timing and context. Epstein's criminal record was already public, his reputation already radioactive to anyone pretending to exercise basic judgment, and the island itself was not some vague conference space but a location already shrouded in rumor, reporting, and legal concern. Hoffman's framing asks the public to believe that a man renowned for pattern recognition, risk assessment, and strategic thinking somehow failed to register the reputational and ethical alarms that would have been blaring to anyone paying even minimal attention.What makes the explanation harder to swallow is how carefully Hoffman draws the line between “association” and “involvement,” as if physical presence is somehow abstract. He doesn't claim ignorance of Epstein the man so much as ignorance of Epstein the monster, a distinction that collapses under scrutiny given what was already known at the time. This reasoning leans heavily on plausibility rather than credibility, relying on the assumption that intelligence and success excuse naïveté. At its core, Hoffman's justification feels less like an honest accounting and more like reputational damage control: minimizing proximity, reframing intent, and hoping the conversation never moves beyond surface explanations. Skepticism isn't cynicism here—it's the natural response when a powerful figure insists they walked into a very public moral minefield and somehow never noticed the warning signs.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource: Reid Hoffman Describes Visit to Epstein's Island - Business Insider
After a decade in high-performance finance at Goldman Sachs and Oaktree Capital, Hilary Hoffman realized the metrics she was optimizing for were no longer aligned with the life she wanted. She left the boardroom to build Soto Method, a results-driven fitness program rooted in discipline, measurable progress, and the truths she saw in the lives of ambitious, overextended people.In this conversation, Hilary shares the moment passion eclipsed stability, the soft skills she spent 10,000 hours developing in finance, and how these same traits (grit, adaptability, and structured focus) now define her founder journey. “One more second” became the heart of her method. She explains how she engineered recurring revenue to self-fund early growth and how a three-month Tribeca pop-up unexpectedly evolved into a sold-out proof of concept.Hilary also opens up about hiring her first key team member, what “willingness” really means in the people she brings on, and how she's building a meritocratic culture where initiative matters more than résumé. As a new mom of twins, she reflects on redefining success, creating boundaries with urgency, and why structure has become her antidote to overwhelm. From scaling an app into a brick-and-mortar brand to raising a strategic first round for national expansion, Hilary offers a grounded, honest look at what it takes to build something distinct in one of the most competitive industries in the world.Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction[04:52] What signaled Hilary to leave finance[09:38] How adapting your energy shifts how people receive you[13:27] Measurable progress defines Soto Method[17:56] Hiring for willingness reshaped Hilary's first key role[21:44] High performers engineer discipline through structure instead of motivation[26:33] How sequencing sessions, the app, and pop-ups fueled sustainable scale[30:50] How a three-month pop-up became a sold-out launchpad for expansion[34:41] What motherhood taught Hilary about redefining urgency, boundaries, and success[38:55] The simple daily practice Hilary uses to defuse stress Resources Mentioned:Founders Podcast by David Senra | Spotify or AppleLearn more about Hilary Hoffman:Hilary Hoffman | InstagramHilary Hoffman | LinkedInSoto Method | WebsiteSoto Method | InstagramFollow Nancy Twine:Instagram: @nancytwinewww.nancytwine.comFollow Makers Mindset:Instagram: @makersmindsetspaceTikTok: @themakersmindsetwww.makersmindset.com
A lot of people think that kosher means that animals were treated significantly better than animals that enter the non-kosher market. And largely, this is just not true, because kosher is very much now a part of the same systems that produce 99% of the animal products that get into our grocery stores, and therefore could be categorized as factory farmed." Rabbi Melissa Hoffman Rabbi Melissa Hoffman is the director of the Center for Jewish Food Ethics, an organization bringing ancient Jewish values about land, animals, and nourishment into the realities of today's food system. At the Center, Melissa works with synagogues, schools, summer camps, and community institutions to shift their food practices through plant-based defaults and culturally rooted changes that align with Jewish values of compassion, sustainability, and justice. She also tackles widespread misconceptions — like the belief held by half of American Jews that kosher automatically means humane. In this conversation, we talk about how Jewish communities can rethink food in ways that are joyful, practical, and deeply values-driven — and why these small shifts can bring people together while transforming the food system from the inside out. https://www.jewishfoodethics.org/

I heard from so many of you after my first conversation with today's guest that I asked him to come back and take our conversation to the next level. Who is this mystery guest? Well, today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Chad Lefevre, Founder and Ceo of The Most Important Conversations. He highlights how embracing your unique wiring as a creator can transform uncertainty into opportunity and inspire you to step into your own leadership and impact. In today's episode, we discuss: Discover Your Early Sparks. Ever wonder why some kids just don't stop asking "why?" Chad did that to the point of driving his mom nuts. So it was no surprise that, in Catholic school, the traditions and rituals drew him toward life's deeper mysteries. That kid-like curiosity? It's your clue to passions waiting to light up your path, no matter your age now. Own Your Unique Wiring. Notice where you think differently, ask endless questions, or spot connections others miss. Chad calls this your natural wiring, not a glitch, and says leaning into it turns "annoying" traits into your secret edge for fresh ideas. We've all got that inner wiring; the question is, are you plugging it in? Master the Pause in Chaos. That urge to react when life hits hard? Chad's emotional sobriety trick, feel it, breathe, saved him from recycling stress loops. In our wild world of AI shake-ups and uncertainty, this space between trigger and response is your superpower for calm, smart moves. Step Up in the Storm. With jobs shifting and change everywhere, do your best not to freeze like you are watching a car wreck. Chad challenges us: who will you become amid it all, a fighter, fleer, or creator, grabbing the opportunity? Link arms in community, trust your gut, and turn disruption into your breakthrough story.

Reid Hoffman's explanation for why he went to Jeffrey Epstein's island rests almost entirely on a familiar Silicon Valley dodge: curiosity paired with selective amnesia. Hoffman has said he viewed Epstein as a wealthy, well-connected financier who positioned himself as a bridge between tech, academia, and philanthropy, and that his presence was motivated by meetings and conversations, not indulgence. The problem with that reasoning is timing and context. Epstein's criminal record was already public, his reputation already radioactive to anyone pretending to exercise basic judgment, and the island itself was not some vague conference space but a location already shrouded in rumor, reporting, and legal concern. Hoffman's framing asks the public to believe that a man renowned for pattern recognition, risk assessment, and strategic thinking somehow failed to register the reputational and ethical alarms that would have been blaring to anyone paying even minimal attention.What makes the explanation harder to swallow is how carefully Hoffman draws the line between “association” and “involvement,” as if physical presence is somehow abstract. He doesn't claim ignorance of Epstein the man so much as ignorance of Epstein the monster, a distinction that collapses under scrutiny given what was already known at the time. This reasoning leans heavily on plausibility rather than credibility, relying on the assumption that intelligence and success excuse naïveté. At its core, Hoffman's justification feels less like an honest accounting and more like reputational damage control: minimizing proximity, reframing intent, and hoping the conversation never moves beyond surface explanations. Skepticism isn't cynicism here—it's the natural response when a powerful figure insists they walked into a very public moral minefield and somehow never noticed the warning signs.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource: Reid Hoffman Describes Visit to Epstein's Island - Business InsiderBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

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, the pair speaks about two films, "Eleanor the Great," directed by Scarlett Johansson, and the documentary, "Son of a Seeker," by first-time filmmaker Kai Balin. But first, we hear in this week's "Jangle" segment, Hoffman recounts the recent votes of the New York Film Critics Circle for their annual "best-ofs," which are also known as the “Elite Oscars.” Next, we turn to two news items surrounding "Eleanor the Great." The first is that first-time director Scarlett Johansson said in an interview that she was asked by a would-be financial backer to change her film’s plot away from the Holocaust. And then we also heard this week that one of the Holocaust survivors featured in the film, Sami Steigmann, was asked not to speak at a Brooklyn middle school about antisemitism due to his pro-Israel views. We then review the film "Eleanor the Great," directed by Johansson and written by Tory Kamen. It stars the great June Squibb, Erin Kellyman, Jessica Hecht, and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Then we turn to the independent documentary "Son of a Seeker," which is being shown at some Jewish film festivals, and learn about the unusual story of a third-generation Holocaust survivor who learns, after attending Jewish day school and contemplating immigration to Israel, he may not be Jewish after all. Hear who gave both films a seal of approval on this week's The Reel Schmooze. The Reel Schmooze is produced by the PodWaves and can be found wherever you get your podcasts. IMAGE: June Squibb, left, and Scarlett Johansson attend the special screening of "Eleanor the Great", hosted by Sony Pictures Classics and The Cinema Society, at Village East by Angelika on Wednesday, Sept. 24, 2025, in New York.
