Andre Matarazzo’s “Daddy”
The slide control underneath the frame changes this film

and his young son’s voice-over, waiting for his
father to get home after a visit to the doctor. Comments

lampooning of both Bush and Kerry. This time, hip-hop
meets matzah, the unleavened bread featured at Passover.
A key wonder of this piece is the number of rhymes with
“matzah.” Comments
