We often don't think about the way Jewish culture and values have shaped comic book characters and the superhero stories we tend to see in our summer blockbusters, but they certainly have. This episode seeks to unpack the influence of Stan Lee's Jewish identity on some of our most cherished superhero movies, but also to consider the way Jewish actors like Gal Gadot and Paul Rudd uniquely portray and embody the beloved superhero characters they play. So join hosts Sara and Brad and special guest Matt Goldberg, Senior Editor for Collider, as they absolutely geek out over comic book and superhero movies through a specifically Jewish lens.
