The Woody Allen Retrospective Podcast

After a long hiatus.. we finally get to have this discussion about the extremely elusive and somewhat controversial release by Woody Allen in the midst of this ongoing global PANDEMIC and so much behind the scenes crap you guys probably don't wanna hear about.. this show must go on.. so at long last.. let's discuss: 2019's - A Rainy Day In New York   ....a movie we even have a hard time pinning a release date on since it had such a staggered kind of distribution. Anyway, this recording is just a little bit more relaxed and curt as firstly.. we didn't have the best experience with this one.. we had a few drinks before the recording.. and honestly we were just not as excited to pull out all the stops for this discussion so we apologise if its not exactly the review you were waiting for   The guest we have on here is also pretty useless lol but hey he wouldn't shut up so we gave him a mic too :P Okay so following from this recording we do have 2 other discussions coming up focusing on Woodys Autobiography (which is excellent btw) and then maybe later down the year we can start the Woody-Like project I've hinted at...   Anyway - thanks for your patience, we really appreciate the people who enjoy the podcast for what it IS and not what they think it SHOULD be ;)   In A Rainy Day in New York (2019) two young college students, Gatsby Welles (Timothée Chalamet) and Ashleigh Enright (Elle Fanning), embark on a whirlwind weekend getaway to New York City, expecting a romantic escape from their mundane lives.   Gatsby, an aspiring filmmaker, plans to show Ashleigh around his beloved city, filled with iconic landmarks and cultural attractions. However, their romantic plans are thwarted by a series of unforeseen events and unexpected encounters.   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/A_Rainy_Day_in_New_York   IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7139936/   Rotten Tomatoes: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/a_rainy_day_in_new_york   ____________________   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

After our 2 year long project of watching EVERY Woody Allen live action production we could find up to March 2018. Your esteemed hosts decided to battle it out and have a long running conversation debating each others picks on the BEST, WORST & MOST UNDERRATED picks from Woody's filmography   We also had some good banter about our thoughts on the movies individually and if things have changed since our earlier recordings   We will be following up from this discussion with a more generic WOODY ALLEN TOP 10 channel video in a few weeks just to make things alot shorter for curious casuals...   So this discussion was actually quite useful for us to make the final list that is soon to come!   We want to take this time to thank everyone for watching, listening and following along, whether you just round our retrospective or have been following along since the inception.   Your support and feedback has meant alot ...and boy are we FINALLY glad we have caught up and got all this out of our system!   ____________________   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  

At this point in our retrospective we have finally caught up with Woody's movie releases and so that brings us to this romantic-drama set on the beautiful boardwalk of Coney Island...   In Wonder Wheel (2017) Under the dizzying spin of Coney Island's Wonder Wheel, secrets and passions intertwine. Ginny (Kate Winslet), a waitress trapped in a volatile marriage to gruff carousel operator Humpty (Jim Belushi), finds forbidden solace with aspiring writer and lifeguard Mickey (Justin Timberlake). Meanwhile, Humpty's estranged daughter Carolina (Juno Temple) seeks refuge, igniting a love triangle that spins out of control. Jealousy, betrayal, and the yearning for escape fuel a whirlwind of passion, forcing each character to confront the fragile illusions of happiness in a world where dreams blur with the salty air and the roar of the coaster's descent.   Please check out the links below for the full cast, user reviews, ratings and info you may find interesting   Wikipedia: https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Wheel_(movie)   IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5825380/   Rotten Tomatoes: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/wonder_wheel   ____________________   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

At this point in Woody Allen's career Amazon Studios were distributing his movies and in an effort to bolster their television projects, Woody was given this opportunity to create this series we are discussing today!   So today we debate the results of said project... hoping for the best and discovering the not so best i'm afraid :(   In Crisis In Six Scenes (2016) A placid suburban life explodes when radical fugitive Lenny (Miley Cyrus) bursts into the home of neurotic writer Sidney (Woody Allen) and his therapist wife Kay (Elaine May). As chaos and secrets ignite, the couple's comfortable facade cracks, revealing hidden desires, political tensions, and simmering marital fissures. Forced to navigate a surreal odyssey of gun-toting revolutionaries, romantic entanglements, and unexpected heroism, they confront the fragile foundations of their lives and grapple with the transformative power of crisis.   _______________________________________   ....ANND just in case people think we are HATING on this out of nowhere with no sense of open criticism - why don't you read Woody's own thoughts on the project in the link below (yes we know Woody always talks smack about his own work)   WOODY REACTION TO MAKING CISC   https://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/may/15/woody-allen-agreeing-to-make-amazon-tv-series-was-a-catastrophic-mistake   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/Crisis_in_Six_Scenes   IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4354616/   Rotten Tomatoes: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/crisis_in_six_scenes-amazon     ____________________   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 on the retrospective with another somewhat interesting moral murder think piece by Woody   In Irrational Man (2015) Cynical philosophy professor Abe Lucas (Joaquin Phoenix) drowns his existential despair in booze at a small-town college. Sparks fly with two women: Rita (Parker Posey), a dissatisfied wife, and Jill (Emma Stone), a bright student. But a overheard sob about a corrupt judge ignites Abe's dormant nihilism. Tempted by a rash act of "justice," he grapples with the allure of meaning through chaos, questioning whether life's absurdities deserve defiance or resignation.    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/Irrational_Man_(film)   IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3715320/   Rotten Tomatoes: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/irrational_man   ____________________   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

Back on the retrospective in some familiar territory on which turned out  to be a small little delightful trip :)   In Magic In The Moonlight (2014) On the sun-drenched Riviera, illusionist Stanley (Colin Firth), a debunker of the supernatural, aims to expose young psychic Sophie (Emma Stone) as a fraud. But under the moonlight, his cynicism unravels as Sophie's charm and seemingly real powers cast doubt on his convictions. Torn between logic and faith, Stanley faces a choice: embrace the possibility of magic or cling to his rational world. As romance blossoms beneath the stars   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/Magic_in_the_Moonlight   IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2870756/   Rotten Tomatoes: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/magic_in_the_moonlight   ____________________   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
