Yentl with Jordan Hoffman
Podcast, can you hear me?\u201d We certainly can, Barbra! The very menschy Jordan Hoffman joins us to chat about Streisand\u2019s official directorial debut, a marvel of a film that makes anyone describing it sound insane. Yes, Barbra wrote, directed, produced, and starred in a period piece about a shtetl girl who crossdresses in order to study the Talmud. Yes, the film is a musical with songs composed by Michel Legrand. Yes, Barbra is the only person who sings in it, despite the male lead being Broadway legend Mandy Patinkin. Yes, Steven Spielberg called this movie \u201cthe greatest directorial debut since CITIZEN KANE.\u201d Yes, we think Barbra should enter the MCU and direct Ant Man 4.
