Marc Maron As a Jew, you are taught early on that you are different and people will hate you for it and maybe kill you. They’ve done it since the beginning of Jews. We watched Holocaust documentaries at Hebrew school to make sure we understood.
It didn’t seem like something I really had to worry about here as an American Jew. I’ve been working professionally as a comic since 1988. When I was a kid, most of my favorite comics were Jews.
Old Jews. Don Rickles, Buddy Hackett, Rodney Dangerfield, Woody Allen, Richard Lewis, Lenny Bruce. Comedy was basically Jewish in my mind for years.
When I started doing comedy, I didn’t embrace my Jewishness. I didn’t want to honor the stereotype. I just believed that being a Jewish comic had to be more than a schtick or neurosis or a way of talking and acting.
I didn’t want to play into what was familiar to Jews and what people who weren’t Jews grew to understand through Jewish comedy. I still enjoyed it, but I didn’t want to be it. (It turns out, you can’t outrun it, but that’s a different essay.) I’m not saying it wasn’t true or honest, but it was not where I wanted to live.
I wasn’t trying to pass — I was trying to find my voice. My comedy has always been a bit confrontational and dark. As I got older, my comedy heroes shifted to Richard Pryor and Bill Hicks.
I wanted to speak some version of angry truth. The first time I talked about being a Jew on stage was on my ’95 “HBO Comedy Half-Hour.” It was a riff about Jews having all the money. I turned an antisemitic trope on its head and took it over the top by claiming we did have all the money.
You can go into any synagogue as a Jew and ask to be let into the secret money room in the basement, just to sit with it. It was a big bit. It

a dismal 23% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes after 40 reviews.That’s a lower rating than some far worse, borderline unwatchable Netflix comedies such as the Jennifer Aniston/Adam Sandler torture instrument “Murder Mystery 2” (45%) and the corked bottle of pinot that was Amy Poehler’s “Wine Country” (66%). Why must the movie mafia so mercilessly pick on this one? Could it be that “Old Dads” is nothing more than a mischievous bit of fun whose naughty jokes butt heads with the increasingly scolding, schoolmarmish cultural gatekeepers? The film’s polar-opposite 88% audience score, a real flip of the bird to my colleagues on the aisle, would suggest so.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 has shared that the possibility of a Venom spin-off title in the style of Miles Morales is down to the fans’ response to the character.Speaking to Insider, Insomniac Games‘ Jon Paquette hoped that the game is “one of the best Venom stories you’ve ever experienced”. Venom is one of multiple villains in the sequel, however, the story anchors on the interaction between the alien Symbiote and Peter Parker.While players are able to switch between playing as Peter or playing as Miles Morales almost instantly, the game’s tagline “be greater together” also plays on the insidious influence of the alien.Moreover, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 continues the story set up in Marvel’s Spider-Man Miles Morales, a smaller spin-off game released two years after Marvel’s Spider-Man.When asked about a potential plan to develop something similar for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2‘s Venom, Paquette did not confirm or deny whether that was Insomniac Games’ intention.“So, here’s what we’re doing.
