Summary

For this week’s bi-weekly scene study, Vanessa, Hannah, and Marcelle Kosman analyze the ending of Kissing Jessica Stein. They discuss curly hair, how friendship and romance intersect, and Jessica's unresolved sexuality.

We finish the episode by calling Kirsten Fermaglich, author of A Rosenberg by Any Other Name: A History of Jewish Name Changing in America, to talk to us about Jewish last names.
