Woody Adjacent - Taissa Farmiga, Malin Åkerman & Todd Strauss-Schulson - The Final Girls (2015)

Episode 116

Friday, October 25, 2024 • Duration 01:04:12

Welcome back to another SPOOKY edition of the Woody Allen Retrospective Podcast

Last time, our favourite cohost with the Most: James, suggested that he would bring up a movie in the horror genre. A genre Woody Allen never quite made a feature film in

Hence James thought he would bring up an interesting title we imagine woody may have done in an alternate universe.. ALSO, our Ai assistant conjurers up a complete original(ish) horror movie idea, laid up with a full cast and plot

This was definfitely a fun experimental discussion, and the movie in question is a damn good horror comedy in its own right, we HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT

In fact, lets see if we can leave some links below on how you may find it....

Not Woody Actually #03: Brothers McMullen Living Out Loud

Episode 115

Thursday, September 26, 2024 • Duration 01:29:00

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!

Woody Adjacent - Maggie Smith, Richard Pryor, Michael Caine, Elaine May, Alan Alda, Bill Cosby & Jane Fonda - California Suite (1978)

Episode 105

Tuesday, December 26, 2023 • Duration 40:51

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.

Ep 14: 1983 - Zelig *Discussion*

Season 1 · Episode 16

Friday, May 11, 2018 • Duration 22:32

We continue to move forward with our Retrospective as we look at a fan favourite where woody fully realises his mockumentary visions from take the money and run and infuses them with an interesting chameleon character piece, all executed with a special type of comedic seriousness :P

Zelig is a 1983 mockumentary film dealing with a chameleon-like man who can unconsciously blend in with his surroundings by taking on the appearance and mannerisms of the people around him. Zelig is often seen as a funny yet thought-provoking film that explores the themes of identity and conformity while also celebrates the power of the human spirit!

The film stars Woody Allen, Mia Farrow, Patrick Horgan, Susan Sontag, and Saul Bellow to name just a few
