Seth Rogen plays Herschel Greenbaum, an Eastern European immigrant who gets preserved in a vat of pickles, as you do, only to wake up generations later in modern-day New York. In this episode, we review Brandon Trost's An American Pickle, based on writer Simon Rich's 2013 short film, Sell Out. We also discuss the film's place on a streaming service, and how a plot like this is a throwback to much older films.
