Passover Episode: Movies about Jewish Families

This is the episode to prepare you for the Passover Seder, or at least distract you from cleaning your oven. As Jewish families gather across the nation, Jodi and Yechiel explore movies that depict Jewish families in America. 2022 provide two  semi-autobiographical portrayals of Jewish families from legendary filmmakers. 
Do these movies provide a nostalgic release or hold a mirror to the complex realities of living Jewishly?
