Nobody Wants This<\/a> is back for a third season of dancing around the real issues of contemporary Judaism in America so that maybe Kristen Bell\u2019s convert character Joanne can learn about hamantaschen rather than have one political conversation. That doesn\u2019t mean, however, that the show\u2019s creator and stars have been able to avoid the same pitfalls as their characters. Last summer, while promoting the second season of Nobody Wants This, Adam Brody, who plays \u201chot rabbi\u201d Noah in the show, said to Amanda Seyfried during their \u201cActors on Actors\u201d joint interview<\/a> that he was glad the show was a \u201csafe, celebratory space\u201d for Jewish people during an otherwise tough time. In a GQ interview<\/a> this year, however, Brody was a little more firm in his beliefs around the political climate as it exists outside of the confines of his show. \u201cPut me down as thinking it\u2019s a genocide. Put me down as wanting a free Palestine,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n That was almost a month ago, and it\u2019s been crickets from the cast and crew of Nobody Wants This since he said that. On the upcoming episode of Amanda Hirsch\u2019s Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Nobody Wants This co-creator Erin Foster addressed Brody\u2019s comments<\/a>, saying that the set of their show was \u201cvery similar to dinner tables around the world where people are having debate and discussion and disagreeing.\u201d Foster went on to add that Nobody Wants This \u201chas always been and always will be a love letter to Judaism. It\u2019s because of how beautiful of an experience I\u2019ve had becoming Jewish and being a Jewish person, and sitting here right now at this time in the world where there is almost zero positive representation of Jewish people, I think it\u2019s so important to have that.\u201d But, of course, we do have positive representation of Jewish people in the perpetual sex symbol that is Adam Brody, both in and outside of the context of Nobody Wants This, so while Foster\u2019s contribution to the landscape is noted, we\u2019re not in so dire a drought as she perceives.<\/p>\n Sign up for the Vulture Daily<\/p>\n An entertainment newsletter for the pop-culture obsessed.<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
