Frequent Flyer Bagels
Friday, 17 April, 2026

Esther and Erin have been quite busy flying here, there, and everywhere the last few months. If they could convert their flight miles into money, they could buy a lifetime supply of bagels...probably! Purim and Passover have come and gone, so it's time to get into what they missed during their separate travels: a LOT of movies and some TV, too. A new Jewish actor on The Pitt; casting news for Nobody Wants This Season 3; and brief reviews from the latest roundup of streaming series. Later, Esther's got some publication news, Rachel Bloom's back in a few movies and Erin starts dreaming about future episodes. She'll keep the details to herself for now...you'll just have to stay tuned!
