Follow Jordan Hoffman— it's freeWelcome 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, before diving into the nuts and bolts of the iconic epic Hollywood adventure, we learn how the 1960 film "Exodus" is part of Hoffman's genesis story. Hoffman lays out the film's plot, which is based on a 1958 Leon Uris novel. We learn about director Otto Preminger, who was a very big deal in Tinsel Town during his era, which is how he managed to capture an all-star cast including a dashing Paul Newman, high-heeled Eva Marie Saint, Sal Mineo's fury and the "good Arab" John Derek, whom we recently saw in "The Ten Commandments." We give a big shoutout to Ernest Gold's soundtrack -- as well as the many covers of it. We then hear a sharp criticism from Borschel-Dan on the poor historical accuracy of the film: The real boat, the Exodus 1947, never weighed anchor in Cyprus, where the first third of the film takes place. Hoffman notes that the film raises abiding issues, including ideology pitting brother against brother and the everlasting hope of coexistence in the land. Stick around to see if "Exodus" got an "oy," "meh" or "not bad" in this week's The Reel Schmooze. The Reel Schmooze is produced by Ari Schlacht and can be found wherever you get your podcasts.

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. In today's Oscar episode, movie maven Hoffman gives us a Jewy recap of this year's Academy Awards. We learn about surprising Jewish roots among some winners and how a person we thought was a sure thing came home with nothing. We then turn to the most recent installment of "Superman" and discuss the hero's Jewish roots and the film's political overtones. ( Check out Hoffman's review of the film here .)

What's more terrifying than giant rabbits? Well, just about everything. Nevertheless, this film still exists. Longtime pop culture writer Jordan Hoffman joins the show to discuss a film that regularly turns up on the list of all-time worst movies. Does it deserve to be there? We'll try to figure it out. Released in the summer of 1972, Night of the Lepus was an attempt to make a 1950s-style giant monster movie for the 1970s. Instead of radiation, it's an ecological error upsetting the balance of nature that causes rabbits to balloon in size and terrorize the American Southwest, represented here by a cast that includes Janet Leigh, Stuart Whitman, Rory Calhoun, and Star Trek 's DeForest Kelly. It's Kelly's presence that inspired me to invite Hoffman, a longtime Star Trek expert who once ranked every episode of every Trek series , but that proved to be just a jumping off point for a digressive but ultimately rabbit-focused conversation. But before Hoffman hops on, I get into the film's background, including its unlikely origin as the satirical Australian novel The Year of the Angry Rabbit, published in 1964. All that and more awaits you in our latest episode, part of a five-episode run devoted to movies about giant animals. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with ToI film reviewer Jordan Hoffman . The duo beta-tests their soon-to-be-launched podcast series — so new it does not yet have a name — in which they will deliver entertainment news from a Jewish angle (aka Jangle) and review one new or noteworthy film. This week, in episode zero, the pair first discusses the growing boycott of Israeli filmmakers at international festivals. Hoffman weighs in on how this is misfiring when it comes to some of the more prominent -- and very left-wing -- Israeli artists. Next, we hear about "Nuremberg," the Hollywood treatment of the Nuremberg Trials, which began in November 1945, launching the field of international law. In the film, psychiatrist Douglas Kelley (Rami Malek) is ordered to evaluate whether Hermann Göring (Russell Crowe) is fit to stand trial. As the highest-ranking surviving Nazi military commander, to the Allied lawyers, Göring is the "big fish" that must be landed. Borschel-Dan and Hoffman give their differing opinions of the movie and agree to disagree. And so this week, we ask Jordan Hoffman, what matters now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts , Spotify , YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts. This episode was produced by the Pod-Waves .

Have you ever noticed your shoulders tensing up during a stressful moment? Or felt your heart racing before a big presentation? These aren't coincidences—they're powerful examples of the mind-body connection at work in your daily life. In this enlightening conversation with Jordan Hoffman, Director of Behavioral Health Services at Medlink, we uncover the science behind how our physical and mental health systems communicate and influence each other constantly. Jordan brings over a decade of experience working in mental health and shares practical, accessible techniques for using this connection to your advantage. What makes this discussion particularly valuable is how it transforms complex neurological concepts into simple daily practices. When anxiety strikes and your thoughts become overwhelming, Jordan explains how focusing on physical interventions—like paced breathing, lowering body temperature, or releasing muscle tension—can create a backdoor approach to calming your mind. "If we can't tell the brain to stop being anxious, can we tell the body to calm?" This powerful question becomes a gateway to understanding how we can influence our mental state through physical awareness. You'll discover why mindfulness forms the foundation of a strong mind-body connection and learn specific grounding techniques that engage your senses to pull you out of anxious thought patterns. Jordan also shares accessible starting points for those not ready for therapy but wanting to strengthen this connection, including breathwork, yoga, meditation, and digital mindfulness tools that can integrate seamlessly into busy lives.

This one’s a real enigma - is The Man Who Wasn’t There a film about the alienation of a man who is deeply closeted and searching for connection in a tightly wound post-war world? Is it about a wife guy who doesn’t know how to express his feelings? Is it somehow about how Beethoven was not only deaf but suffered from horrific diarrhea at the end of his life? No? Well, that’s Jordan Hoffman’s theory! Join us for a very silly episode where we go long on Billy Bob, coin a new term for a Shalhoub appearance, and decide that all Austin-based podcasters are just Salacious B. Crumb.

Welcome to What Matters Now, a weekly podcast exploring key issues currently shaping Israel and the Jewish World, with host deputy editor Amanda Borschel-Dan speaking with film critic Jordan Hoffman. Ahead of the 2025 Academy Awards on Sunday night, The Times of Israel's film critic gives his predictions on which of the five films related to Israel or the Jews will have any chance of taking home a statue. We hear about how the ongoing war in Gaza is creating off-screen drama for a film, "September 5," that has nothing to do with the current conflict but dares to show Israel as a victim after the country's athletes were massacred in the 1972 Munich Olympics. Hoffman weighs in on the merits of "A Real Pain" and pronounces it an excellent addition to the pantheon of Jewish film. About "The Brutalist," he has some reservations, although he applauds the film overall. We learn how the Bob Dylan bio-pic may not have anything really overtly Jewish about it, but that it's not a slam to Members of the Tribe. And finally, Hoffman discusses the Palestinian/Jewish Israeli co-production that is hardly a coexistence project, but rather a "From the River to the Sea" production. And so this week, we ask Jordan Hoffman, what matters now. What Matters Now podcasts are available for download on Apple Podcasts , Spotify , YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts.
