Alan talks about the new film "A Real Pain" starring Jesse Eisenberg and Kieran Culkin as Jewish cousins who reconnect on a trip to Poland where they will visit a death camp as well as the house in which a grandmother lived. Alan explains why the movie worked so well and is joined by Nike Silberstein, who talks about her own "March of the Living" trip when she was in high school. They discuss whether or not it is ethical to take selfies and certain places where tragedy took place and they examine the dynamic between the two characters who are jealous of each other. Alan asks Nike if she feels more pressure to live a meaningful life because she is the grandchild of survivors. They also discuss Jennifer Gray, of "Dirty Dancing" fame and whether or not something about her character is implied. They also discuss how this may be a Holocaust movie that is not a Holocaust movie as it instead focuses on how the next generation processes the past.
