My love affair with David Wain began a few years back, upon renting The Ten. I figured a film where Winona Ryder has it off with a dummy was just bound to be all kinds of incredible. Since then, I’ve devoured everything this man has produced.
It was in being such a devotee, that I found this gem of a site. It’s a celebration of great dudes; great, talented dudes; great, talented, Jewish dudes.
As well as smokin’ hot Jew musicians and actors, there’s plenty of comedians on FYJM: the sharp, droll, and downright ridiculous. In the past decade especially, these guys have commanded a considerable following (see Judd Apatow and his troupe of Jewish playmates) and if this site wants to put a sunny spin on diversity and applaud the talent it generates, I’m all for it. Really, I’m all for anything Mr Wain.
(p.s. guys, we didn’t forget about you).
