And Just Like That...Mrs. Maisel is Back

This episode has lots of New York and a little North Pole...After starting with some words about Sondheim's impact on Broadway and culture in general, the Bagels enjoy the morsels of Maisel that have been dropped to satisfy fans before the show's February premiere on Amazon Prime. Erin leads Esther to consider the possibility of a Maisel multiverse while Esther recaps panels from November's Vulture Festival. HBOMax's "And Just Like That..." reminds us of the worst parts of "Sex & the City" while missing opportunities for meaning-making, but we're still on the lookout for Jewish content. Plus, some developing thoughts about why the Sarah Silverman/Seth Rogen HBOMax series "Santa Inc." might be getting such a cold reception.
