With Matthew’s specialty in Hebrew Bible, expect lots of Hebrew Bible episodes, but we hope to present a wide variety of Religions and Religious Practices, too.

  • #85 The Dybbuk (1937): A TRT Movie Review
    2026/06/21

    Jodie and Matthew jump back in time to a famous black-and-white Yiddish film, “The Dybbuk.” Based on a play by S. An-sky, the Dybbuk explores a forbidden love between two lovers across social classes despite being pledged to each other by their fathers before their births. So, Chanan dives into Kabbalah to win Leah over, but dies, becomes a Dybbuk, and possesses her. It’s a brilliant film that uses Hasidic Judaism to explore class struggles, the problems with the ultra-wealthy, while acting as a classic love story, similar to stories such as Romeo and Juliet. You can find this film for free on Youtube, so watch it, listen to us, and let us know your thoughts on this classic film!

    Matthew Rating: 4.5/5

    Jodie Rating: 2/5

  • #84 The Formation of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible
    2026/06/14

    Jodie and Matthew talk about the canonization of the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible. Sadly, there was no single time in history where someone just decided that the books in the Old Testament were settled as definitive scripture for Jews or Christians. Rather, it was a process that occurred over time with debates on what makes the canon and what misses the cut. Regarding this process, Jodie and Matthew discuss “defiling the hands” when it comes to the discussions around Song of Songs and Ecclesiastes, and also they discuss how the apocrypha became canonized for Christians but not Jews. Listen along and share your thoughts, questions, comments, and disagreements!

    2026/06/07

    Jodie and Matthew investigate the 2003 Disney movie “Brother Bear” and discuss the potential religious themes that it gives the audience to ponder over. Whether it be themes of family, forgiveness, love, grief, empathy, or Othering, Brother Bear provides a good starting point for discussing theological issues for children for many religious traditions. Through tangents and other topics Jodie and Matthew also discuss Totemism and other religious studies themes while touching on other important ideas such as Shrek 2.
