An Israeli counterterrorism soldier with a secretly fabulous ambition to become a Manhattan hairstylist. Zohan's desire runs so deep that he'll do anything -- including faking his own death and going head-to-head with an Arab cab driver -- to make his dreams come true. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →You Don't Mess With the Zohan in Michigan's Upper Penninsula was also a hell of a time. I don't think I understood it even as a Daily Show viewer at like 15 or whatever, but even as we left it was just kinda, "He sure did make a sex joke". The racism didn't dawn on me as bad yet.

unlabelledView post →Until few days ago I knew nothing about Zohran Mamdani. First time I heard about his name reminded me of "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" movie. Underrated but... Zohran being trashed by that illiterate scumbag Trump, I knew instantly he deserves credit being on the right side of history. Kudos NYC!
