Welcome to the Times of Israel's The Real Shmooze.

I'm your host Amanda Borchelle Dan here with our movie maven, Jordan Hoffman,

bringing you all the entertainment news and movie reviews that a Jew can use.

Jordan, thank you so much for joining me, as usual.

Thank you for having me.

It's a wacky week here.

You know, people tune in, Amanda, to your other podcasts, you know, the daily briefing,

people throughout the world want to know what's happening in the Middle East and in Israel.

a yard, literal yard sticks. And it was pretty much exactly two feet in our backyard. We did what we

could. You know, I have that dopy little snowblower. I was so proud of last time, too much snow

for the snowblower. The snowblower only handles like eight inches, nine inches.

This is, it was useless.

So you might, for those who watch the real schmooze and don't just listen to it,

you might notice that I have an odd thing.

This is a heating pad because my shoulder is killing me because of all the shoveling.

And you're going to ask, does the heating head do anything the answer is no but the reason I'm wearing is later when I
