The Woody Allen Retrospective Podcast

Welcome back ladies and gents to another episode of Woody Adjacent! This time we come back to our Ai Companion's recommendation of the very well loved movie: Get Shorty (1995) As well as talking about the original 1995 film adaptation, we also get into a discussion on the much HATED sequel 'Be Cool' (2005) and lastly the more recent fresh TV adaptation created in 2017 It's always interesting to see what the Ai comes up with after analysing Woody Allens Filmography and writing style... its even more fun hearing its reasonings for picking the film itself, which it does! Get ready for a fun ride and another great conversation :) __________________________________________ In Get Shorty (1995) Chili Palmer (John Travolta) is a Miami loan shark with a secret dream. Stuck collecting debts for a ruthless mob boss (Dennis Farina), Chili gets sent to Los Angeles to track down a down-on-his-luck producer named Harry Zimm (Gene Hackman) who owes a hefty gambling debt. Upon arriving in Hollywood, Chili quickly realizes the film industry is surprisingly similar to the criminal world he knows. He finds himself navigating a landscape of broken promises, shady characters, and desperate hustles. However, Chili's brash confidence and knowledge of the "business" side of things strangely changes his fortune and unlikely partnerships lead to unexpected opportunities for Chilli in Hollywood!

On this episode we are doing a supporter request from our ongoing patreon campign. In truth, we get quite a few requests for Woody Allen Adjacent that don't quite fit the bill, but in this case we just could not ignore the ensemble cast and woody like setting - a worthy candidate for this project from the outset..... How did we feel about it though? >_< lets see... In Queens Logic (1991) a group of childhood male friends reunite for an upcoming wedding. Beneath the celebratory facade, each friend grapples with personal challenges and hidden emotions. Al (Joe Mantegna), the life of the party, hides a strained marriage beneath his womanising facade. Dennis (Kevin Bacon), a musician returned from Hollywood, faces the ghosts of his past. Vinny (Kenneth Mitchell), a struggling actor, yearns for more than one-night stands. Eliot (John Malkovich), the lone gay member of the group, confronts his loneliness and societal pressures and the groom to be appears have wedding jitters related to his artistic dreams of being a successful painter. As the festivities unfold old wounds resurface, secrets are revealed and relationships are tested, all done through humour, introspection and a very QUEENS like state of mind.

A very happy new year 2024 to all our fellow listeners and subscribers! Today we are starting the year off with a bigger project from our co-host James, as it is his month of choice for the decided movie discussion. As such, James has chosen a British movie series that is a recut of an existing television series focusing on two comedians playing fictional versions of themselves. Its a fun one to start the year off with for sure... lets dig in! In "The Trip" (2010), comedian Steve Coogan embarks on a culinary tour of northern England with his frenemy, fellow comedian Rob Brydon. While ostensibly reviewing restaurants for The Observer, their journey becomes a hilariously melancholic exploration of friendship, aging, and artistic validation.

Welcome back to another episode of Woody Allen Adjacent Today we are talking about a Rom-Com that hits all the typical beats that was made in the turn of the century with Actors that have come a massively long way since this feature - maybe nobodys seen it but it's Don's choice of the month In Love and Sex (2000) Kate Welles (Famke Janssen), a sharp-witted journalist known for her explicit articles, finds herself fired for pushing the boundaries a bit too far. With her career on hold and a deadline looming, Kate reflects on her own chaotic love life in search of inspiration for an article on healthy relationships. Her journey takes us through flashbacks of past relationships, from awkward childhood crushes to passionate but ill-timed encounters. We see her navigate the complexities of dating, facing challenges like a judgmental boyfriend hung up on her past and a fling with a charming but emotionally unavailable actor (Jon Favreau). As she grapples with the highs and lows of her past romances, Kate starts to question her own approach to love and intimacy in her life On a side note - the video we referenced in that FRIENDS episode can be found here - unless youtube takes it down in future https://youtu.be/r1JCHcYUWIU Please check out the links below for the full cast, user reviews, ratings and info you may find interesting Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_%26_Sex IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0234137/?ref_=tt_urv Rotten Tomatoes: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/love_and_sex ____________________ A VERY Special Thanks to The Woody Allen Pages Website & The Woody Allen Subreddit for the continued support and info – check them out for the latest from the Woody Allen Fan Community!! https://www.woodyallenpages.com & https://www.reddit.com/r/woodyallen PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT TO THIS OR ANY OTHER EPISODE USING OUR COMMENT SECTION VIDEO LINK HERE >>>>>>> https://bit.ly/warpcom IF YOU LIKE THE SHOW, PLEASE CONSIDER BUYING US A COFFEE / GIVING US A TIP VIA OUR PATREON CAMPAIGN >>> https://www.patreon.com/woodyretro Thanks for listening as always - we would also LOVE a review on iTunes or a 5 star rating via Spotify or whichever podcast platform you are listening on - please find all our connected links below. >>> https://linktr.ee/woodyretro

We are BACK with another delightful conversation for Woody Adjacent Apologies for the continued technical issues hitting us on this episode. Editing couldn't quite fix annoying microphone peaking, echoing and some artifacting from Zoom >_< We are still working out some annoying lil bugs while using our newer machines that will be straightened out sooner rather than later but alas enough excuses... on with the show! Today we finally get to not only a recommended title by Woody fans but James pick for this month... another Charle Kaufman venture which is actually an animated / stop motion feature In Anomalisa (2015) follows Michael Stone (voiced by David Thewlis), a jaded and lonely motivational speaker who perceives everyone around him as identical – same face, same voice (voiced by Tom Noonan). This monotony extends to his wife and son, leaving him feeling deeply disconnected from the world. During a business trip to Cincinnati, Michael stumbles upon a glimmer of hope. He encounters Lisa (voiced by Jennifer Jason Leigh), a hotel employee with a unique voice that breaks through his monotonous perception. A tentative connection sparks between them, offering a potential escape from his lonely existence.

Welcome back to another episode of Woody Allen Adjacent here on the Retrospective Podcast! Today we are talking about another movie from the 90's.. a very very small movie with a hugely celebrated actor.. We have some fun suggestions on what Woody Allen Movies he could have done well in since his actual planned movie role with Woody Fell through in the mid 2000's which was quite unfortunate This movie is a really great showcase of his talents though that many people seemed to have missed or snubbed :P So with that said.. lets talk about 1997's - Two Girls And A Guy Please check out the links below for the full cast, user reviews, ratings and info you may find interesting Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Girls_and_a_Guy IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0124179/?

Welcome back to another episode of Woody Allen Adjacent! We want to give a massive thank you to one of our wonderful listeners: PAUL STICKNEY who recommended we give the works of Edward Burns a look as a good match for future adjacent talks! Edward Burns seems to be most celebrated for his first directorial movie: The Brothers McMullen but before we get to that one i thought lets take a side step and actually check up his follow up movie with a really cool cast In "She's The One" (1996) Mickey Fitzpatrick (Edward Burns), a heartbroken cab driver recently dumped by his fiancée Heather seeks solace in a whirlwind marriage to the impulsive artist Hope (Maxine Bahns). Meanwhile, Mickey's seemingly perfect brother Francis (Mike McGlone) harbors a secret affair one Heather, adding another layer of complication. As Mickey navigates his unconventional marriage and Francis wrestles with guilt, the past resurfaces – with hints that Heather may not be exactly who she seems. Thank you so much for listening - We are still hopeful in asking that you would please consider supporting our colleague and friend Carly in this trying time as she deals with medical treatment and could really use your support - please check out her Go Fund Me campaign below https://gofund.me/f82c5bf2 Please check out the links below for the full cast, user reviews, ratings and info you may find interesting Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She%27s_the_One_(1996_film) IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117628/ Rotten Tomatoes: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/shes_the_one ____________________ A VERY Special Thanks to The Woody Allen Pages Website & The Woody Allen Subreddit for the continued support and info – check them out for the latest from the Woody Allen Fan Community!! https://www.woodyallenpages.com & https://www.reddit.com/r/woodyallen PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT TO THIS OR ANY OTHER EPISODE USING OUR COMMENT SECTION VIDEO LINK HERE >>>>>>> https://bit.ly/warpcom IF YOU LIKE THE SHOW, PLEASE CONSIDER BUYING US A COFFEE / GIVING US A TIP VIA OUR PATREON CAMPAIGN >>> https://www.patreon.com/woodyretro Thanks for listening as always - we would also LOVE a review on iTunes or a 5 star rating via Spotify or whichever podcast platform you are listening on - please find all our connected links below. >>> https://linktr.ee/woodyretro

Welcome back to another episode of Woody Allen Adjacent! This month we are talking about one of the worlds most celebrated comedic actors who has some really interesting parallels to Woody Allen - this movie in particular seems to be a jokey-poke love letter to a city very close to his heart that, of course, we have a good ol' conversation about In L.A. Story (1991) Harris K. Telemacher (Steve Martin) trudges through his life as a bored weatherman in Los Angeles. His job feels unfulfilling, his relationship with his materialistic girlfriend Trudi (Marilu Henner) is stagnant, and the city's superficiality grates on him. One night, a chance encounter with a talking freeway billboard (voiced by Rebecca De Mornay) throws his world upside down. The billboard becomes Harris' unlikely confidante, offering him witty advice and nudging him towards a more fulfilling life. As Harris seeks love and meaning, he crosses paths with two compelling women: Sara (Victoria Tennant), a sharp-witted British journalist researching L.A. culture, and SanDee (Sarah Jessica Parker), a ditzy aspiring model with an unusual way of spelling her name ("Sandy" in the credits). Through hilarious mishaps and surreal encounters (think exploding sushi and a conga line of celebrities), Harris embarks on a journey of self-discovery. He grapples with finding authentic connections in the shallow world of L.A., and the film playfully satirizes the city's quirks and obsessions.

Wishing everybody a very happy new year 2023 to all our humble listeners / wonderful subscribers! Woody Allen Adjacent is back for another year of great debate and discussion while we await another official woody release - starting the year off with a somewhat fantasy / slice of life romantic drama.. where we had to ask ourselves.. can ONE scene determine the flow of an entire movie? o_0 In Ruby Sparks (2012) Paul Dano portrays Calvin Weir-Fields, a once-celebrated novelist suffering from crippling writer's block. Frustrated and desperate, he resorts to an unorthodox method: writing a character named Ruby Sparks (played by Zoe Kazan) and detailing her personality, appearance, and even her quirks.

Seasons Greetings All! We are still recovering from the jolliest of seasons.. and that horrible trip we shared with Alex on our last discussion >_< But today we are going to talk about one of the most celebrated Romantic Comedy's of all time.. right up there with Anne Hall in our humble opinion I called it low hanging fruit for a discussion.. that doesn't mean the fruit itself is not oozing with all the flavours needed for a great conversation! In the iconic romantic comedy "When Harry Met Sally" (1989), Billy Crystal portrays Harry Burns, a cynical writer firmly believing men and women can't truly be friends due to the "sex thing" always getting in the way. Meg Ryan plays Sally Albright, a quick-witted journalist who fiercely disagrees. Their paths first cross as recent college graduates sharing a bumpy car ride from Chicago to New York, where their opposing views ignite a spirited debate. Years pass, and fate throws them together again at various points in their lives. Through chance encounters, both find themselves in relationships while still drawn to each other's sharp wit and intellectual connection. Along with their best friends (Carrie Fisher and Bruno Kirby), they navigate the complexities of modern dating, heartbreak, and the ever-present tension between Harry's skepticism and Sally's longing for genuine connection. As the years unfold, their arguments and banter become laced with a growing emotional vulnerability.

Welcome back to another episode of Woody Adjacent - Tis the season to be jolly and give you a DOUBLE release this month Todays movie up for discussion was actually another request put forward to us by our friends at the Woody Allen Subreddit It was quite the experience.. lol - i hope you can appreciate the conversation.. even if we get some coal in our stockings for our thoughts :P In Alex In Wonderland (1970) Donald Sutherland portrays Alex Morrison, a successful film director fresh off the critical and artistic acclaim of his first feature film, Alex finds himself facing a daunting task – choosing his next project. Anxiety and self-doubt cloud his vision, leaving him creatively paralysed. Alex's internal struggle manifests in a series of fantastical scenarios heavily influenced by his cinematic idols. He envisions directing grand historical epics, biopics of controversial figures, and even black power films. These internal fantasies intertwine with his real-life encounters with Hollywood producers, casting directors, and fellow artists like Federico Fellini, creating a blurry line between dreams and reality.
