Ep 26: 1992 - Husbands & Wives *Discussion*

Back on track with our next movie in the retrospective... definitely one of the more notable additions and we enjoyed digging into this one quite a bit!   In Husbands and Wives (1992) two couples, Gabe (Woody Allen) and Judy (Mia Farrow), and Jack (Sydney Pollack) and Sally (Judy Davis), grapple with the complexities of love, marriage, and infidelity as their best friends' separation sends shockwaves through their own lives.   Husbands and Wives delves into themes of honesty, commitment, and the challenges of maintaining long-term relationships. Through the characters' introspective conversations and introspective monologues, Allen explores the delicate balance between personal fulfillment and the expectations of others.   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/Husbands_and_Wives   IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104466/   Rotten Tomatoes: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/1040798-husbands_and_wives   ____________________   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

Ep 20: 1988 - Another Woman - Don’s Favourite!?!? *Discussion*

We continue to move forward with our Retrospective and we get to a very special movie for one of our hosts as it seems to be his favourite whereas, it is not really considered majorly with moviegoers or even die hard Woody fans compared to his other offerings   Another Woman (1988) stars Gena Rowlands as Marion Post, a philosophy professor who rents an office to write a new book. She overhears the therapy sessions of her neighbor, Hope (Mia Farrow), and begins to question her own life choices.   The film is a meditation on identity, regret, and the search for meaning.
