Barry Sonnenfeld is a legendary filmmaker, responsible for directing films like the Men in Black series. He’s also the author of the new book, Best Possible Place, Worst Possible Time. He knows and loves Golden Oldies (or Olden Goldies) -- songs that were played on AM radio in the 1960s.

Jackie Tohn is an actor, whose newest show, Nobody Wants This, is a huge hit on Netflix -- just like her previous show, Glow. Jackie is put to the test on her favorite cuisine: Jewish Food.
