Welcome to Times Will Tell, the weekly podcast from the Times of Israel. This week, we speak with Mayim Bialik, who has just released her filmmaking debut, “As They Made Us.”
Most people know Bialik from her performance as neuroscientist Amy Farrah Fowler on “The Big Bang Theory,” from her work as a child as the title character on the sitcom “Blossom,” or lately, as the new host of "Jeopardy!"
Bialik wrote and directed “As They Made Us”," which is quite the departure from the rosy sitcom bubble. It is a tough look at tense family relations as the father’s life is winding to a close. It stars Dustin Hoffman as the dying father; Candice Bergen as the overbearing mother; Simon Helberg is the estranged older brother, and Dianna Agron plays the anchor of the family, Jewish journalist Abigail.
"As They Made Us" is now in theaters.
