Said Long, “Right now, there’s a lot of talk about antisemitism and the Jewish religion experience, and this film explores the difference between Blacks and Jews in a very funny freaking way. Hopefully we can find the funny in our differences, and appreciation and respect for our differences, for a better understanding.”
“I really think that what [Barris] does for Black people in this industry is cutting-edge. It’s perfectly inappropriate,” she added. “It makes you think, it makes you laugh. It makes you go, ‘This guy is crazy.’ But the crazy is where we find the truth, and I respect him for that.”
London toldNetflix’s Tudumabout working with the star-studded cast, saying, “These collaborators are masters at their craft. You have Eddie Murphy and Julia and Nia Long and David Duchovny andJonah Hill— and Kenya as the captain of the ship. Everyone brought in their specialness and their art.”
