When my friend invited me to see Natalie Portman's newest film, Vox Lux, I obviously said yes. Natalie Portman playing a pop star past her prime? In which she gives "a riveting performance of… fiercely mannered bravado?" All that plus Jude Law? Yes, please! I barely Googled anything about it; I don't like reading film reviews before seeing the movie myself. But I did watch the trailer.

Lior Zaltzman

This Hanukkah Parody of Toto’s ‘Africa’ Is Ridiculously Meta

Lior Zaltzman

And then there's… Hanukkah, which is by far the hottest season for Jewish a cappella music, and the pressure to put out a fresh hit can be intense.
