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 learn that famed actress and chanteuse Barbra Streisand received an honorary Palme D’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. Borschel-Dan, who is reading the artist’s massive memoir, calls on all podcast fans to send in the names of their favorite Streisand films for a future episode.

WATCH the full episode here:

We then turn to the monumentally Jewish movie, “A Serious Man,” written, produced, edited and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen in 2009.
