An American Pickle

Marc Maron interviews Seth Rogen. In this podcast, we hear two very Jewish comedians being wildly irreverent, at times obscene and disrespectful, as they discuss Rogen’s movie and their Jewish upbringings and culture. In addition to discussing Rogen’s new movie about a Jewish immigrant, they cover both anti-Semitism and being misinformed about Israel. Numerous news outlets covered his comments.
