'My Dead Mom' gives the nagging Jewish mother trope a haunting twist

JL;DR SUMMARY Wendy Litner's web series "My Dead Mom" humorously explores the continuing presence of her late mother's critical voice, addressing Jewish mother stereotypes with a feminist angle. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.
