And the songs are playing over and over
Dec. 29th, 2019 05:36 pmLast night I had some friends over for Hanakka round two. I know some people like to make full meals out it with a main dish and latkes on the side, but not here, sister. We made a monster stack of latkes and ate them all with sour cream and apple sauce until we were genuinely afraid we might be sick. Then they hung around for the next three hours while we talked about everything from ham radio to our cats to the weirdly alienating experience that is being Jewish in America.
On that note, I have some additional Yuletide recs to share.
Stir and Cook Slowly
(Batwoman (TV 2019))
Mary learns what a yarzheit is. Kate relearns to smile.
In which Kate Kane is unambiguously and unapologetically Jewish and her relationship with Mary is as wholesome as latkes.
The Rubber Shapeshifter Assimilation
The Middleman (TV)
“So once I get all bundled up, what’s with the trip to the South Pole? Killer penguins? Evil Santa? Evil Santa with a tuxedo-clad army of evil penguins?”
It's basically a lost episode of The Middleman complete with spot-on dialogue, cuddling for warmth, and all the romantic tropes you need for a South Pole adventure.
