On Friday, January 9, as part of its “Friday Flicks” series, the Mayerson JCC will be showing the 2024 comedy film, “Bad Shabbos,” on the big screen at the J.

The recent film was released to mostly positive reviews and features a well-rounded cast of veteran and upcoming actors. The cast includes Kyra Sedgwick, David Palmer and rapper/actor, Method Man. 

“Bad Shabbos” focuses on an interfaith couple who are going to have their parents meet for the first time at a Shabbat dinner. However, since this is a comedy, not everything goes quite as planned. Among other things, an accidental death occurs at the Shabbat dinner!

The film was made and co-written by Daniel Robbins. Some of his other film credits include “Pledge” and “Uncaged.” Robbins’ co-writer on “Bad Shabbos” is Zack Weiner, who has helped Robbins write most of his other films. 

A donation of $1 is encouraged if you want to attend.
