In this sixth episode of Sacred Realms, Rabbis Andrew and Lindsey talk about Golems: Protectors or Perils? We begin this week’s She’lah / The Question of the Week: “If you had a golem, what task would you have them do for you?” Then on to what we have been watching or reading lately, with Rabbi Andrew talking Apple’s Silo, Marvel’s Secret Invasion, and tracing the theme of golems in pop-culture, and Rabbi Lindsey talking about Pixar’s Elementral and Netflix’s Charlotte. We then have a piece of Jewish Sci-fi/Fantasy news about the next actor to play Superman. Then we delve into this episode’s main topic: Golems: Protectors or Perils? Lastly, we pull out some material from the Genzia, talking about the Indiana Jones movies, in honor of the fifth installment in the series: The Dial of Destiny.
