You People: A Bagel Report Deep Dive

After seeing it opening weekend in theaters and then again on Netflix amid a swirl of wildly inconsistent reviews, the Bagels become review people taking on "You People," the cringey romcom (cringe-com?) starring Jonah Hill, Lauren London, Eddie Murphy and Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Overall observations, questions about content choices and missed opportunities to explore faith, meaning and connection. As the Bagels cruise through a million hot takes on "You People" from all corners, keep your ears peeled for terms like "consensus-building," "calling in vs. calling out," "the oppression Olympics," and "zero-sum game."
