Ever wondered what your great grandparents might think of your life today? Would they wonder how you can afford a one bedroom apartment all to yourself? Would they understand your job typing into a computer all day (or the concept of computers at all)? Would they be proud of you as a continuation of their legacy? An American Pickle, a new original film from HBO Max, attempts to answer some of those questions with a unique take on the time travel trope. The film, streaming now, stars Seth Rogen in dual roles—as Herschel Greenbaum, a 1920s factory worker who emerges in the present day after being brined in a vat of pickles, and as his great grandson Ben Greenbaum, a mild-mannered computer programmer living in Brooklyn. Stream An American Pickle today, only on HBO Max, and think twice about your idea of the American Dream.
