In some odd way it's more raw (Jews as the Volk running around dirty and unshod, even if they're all carrying cellphones or whatever) but more importantly there's a stunning emotional depth to the melodic inventory these m***********s have.

Netflix does not stock this gem. All I got were references to Lucille Ball and Dragon Ball Z. Are you sure that "Lamb Chop's Passover Surprise" isn't some Minnesotan hotdish involving, oh, I don't know, macaroni and onion dip? Curses! Netflix does not stock this gem.
