  • A warm welcome back to all our lovely podcast listeners

    We are back after we were unable to record last month, this was due to some personal stuff on Don's part. So as you can see from the title this is going to be a NOT WOODY ACTUALLY episode

    As always with NWA we talk a bit outside the norm, giving updates on the podcast Monetization situation, other minor updates.. and then for the main event we have a double adjacent-ish discussion on 2 movies. The first being a patreon request from a while ago.. and the second is a movie Don is somewhat fond of.. he just feels that movie may have been a half baked basis for a Woody Adjacent discussion.

    On the next episode James is doing something different with a horror themed movie he feels Woody Allen could have created (in a parallel universe?)

    You Know what... lets throw the question out to YOU are lovely listeners... what horror movies have you seen in your movie adventures you feel Woody Allen may have tackled, whether conceptually or loosely... again, see it as an alternate universe question.. we want to hear your thoughts on this specifically - leave your thoughts here > https://bit.ly/warpcom

    Thanks for listening as always, please check out our associated links below as always!

  • Welcome back everyone to the Woody Allen Retrospective podcast!

    We are sorry to say that due to unexpected personal circumstances, the team won’t be able to release a podcast episode this month. That’s pretty obvious as we are at the end of the month, but for clarity, we thought we’d put out an official update so none of our lovely subscribers get concerned in lieu of this delay.

    We’ll be back in September, probably late September, with another episode, and because of the delay, Don and James thought it would be fun to do a sort of double feature adjacent discussion. We apologize for the delay and as always, we appreciate your understanding, support, and possible trolling comments.

    We hope you all had a great August 2024 whether you were on holiday or just kept it local, the summer is coming to an end and its time to knuckle down and wrap up the rest of the year!

    Did you guys know Woody Allen has a new play called Brooklyn Story?

  • Welcome back ladies and gents to another episode of Woody Adjacent!

    Soo much is happening in the world of related entertainment and politics it seems we just had to address a portion of it as it relates to certain aspects of our podcast

    So... starting with Alec Baldwins RUST court case which has now come to a sudden and eventful close. As Mr Baldwin is clearly one of Woody Allens biggest public supporters and listeners still want to hear our take on this eventful case closure

    Moving on from there we pick up with our Ai Podcast assistant's movie choice of the month... that being 1999's American Beauty.

    The starring lead in said movie, Kevin Spacey is yet another controversial figure we needed to further discuss, not only in relation to the chosen movie pick but also in terms of his ongoing blacklist backlash causing much discourse in the fiery court of public opinion

    There is just soo much to discuss on this episode it surely now becomes one of our longest episodes in our catalogue

    We hope you enjoy, please consider leaving a comment using our special link below as well as our other related links below!

    In American Beauty (1999) Kevin Spacey stars as Lester Burnham, a disillusioned middle-aged man who has a thankless job and beleives he is trapped in a loveless marriage with his materialistic wife, Carolyn (Annette Bening). As a midlife crisis unfolds, Lester becomes infatuated with their teenage daughter's best friend, Angela (Mena Suvari), which further sparking a desire to reclaim his lost youth and inner happiness.

  • Welcome back ladies and gents to another episode of Woody Adjacent!

    On this episode our co-host with the most James has chosen to discuss a very recent Oscar winning movie based off a somewhat popular novel from the early 2000’s. It was a great conversation to have even given the somewhat uncomfortable realities the movie satirizes and asks us as the viewer to confront

    It’s actually quite refreshing to see the extremely positive reception to this movie and we definitely ponder how its implications relate to Woody Allen and the Hollywood industry on a whole

    In American Fiction (2023) Award-winning professor Monk Ellison (Jeffrey Wright) feels stifled. His acclaimed novels lack commercial success, and publishers reject his latest work for not conforming to tired racial stereotypes. Fed up, Monk hatches a plan. He anonymously writes a scathing satire under a pseudonym, "My Pafology," exploiting every cliché about Black life the industry craves. To his surprise, "My Pafology" becomes a runaway bestseller, lauded by white critics who miss the satire entirely.

    While Monk wrestles with guilt and frustration over his fake identity his family life also begins to further crumbles as his siblings and mother face medical instability and a new relationship becomes more difficult to navigate in line with his pseudo success.

  • 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.

  • We are here at the very END of 2023 with our last Adjacent release!

    If you have been keeping up with us in recent months we have been hinting at using Ai as a 3rd source of research in choosing our adjacent picks. We have 65 movies.. one for every year since 1969.

    James randomly got a 10 from our adjacent list choice picker.. and that means today we are going to talk about.....

    In 1978's California Suite, four suites witness the bittersweet joys and crushing anxieties of their temporary residents. Through interwoven vignettes of laughter, tears, and the bittersweet tang of human connection, California Suite paints a poignant portrait of life, love, and the pursuit of dreams under the California sun.

  • On this episode of Woody Adjacent, James has chosen another Steve Martin film which is often hailed as one of his greatest and we had an interesting conversation about it - sadly the technical issues persist with the audio as we now deal with a recent bug caused by an apple update which we are still striving to fix

    ThanksThe Jerk (1979) is a slapstick comedy film about a man who is born an idiot, but becomes a millionaire through a series of lucky accidents.

    The cast includes Steve Martin, Bernadette Peters, M. Emmet Walsh to name just a few - please check out the links below for the full cast, user reviews, ratings and info you may find interesting

  • 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

  • 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.

    Here are the links we mentioned in this episode

  • Thanks for checking out our first edition of NWA (Not Woody Actually)

    We had an idea to do a show like this but this was kind of forced upon us due to technical issues with our normal adjacent recordings

  • 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
