See
Hear is about to get nostalgic for episode 40….or maybe not.
There
are two sorts of people in the world – those who love the FILMS of
Woody Allen and those who can’t stand them.
Among
those who love his films there are two sorts of people – some
prefer his early zany films about relationships, mortality, the
universe and our place in it....and bouncing boobs. However, there are
those who prefer his mid-period Fellini / Bergman style dramas /
comedies about relationships, morality the universe and our place in
it, but with no bouncing boobs. (Does anyone prefer his latter-day
films?)
Tim,
Bernie and Maurice are joined once again by Frank Santopadre of
Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal Podcast to discuss 1984’s
Broadway Danny Rose, a film that combines the best elements of the
former and latter styles of his filmography. Woody plays Danny Rose,
a loyal theatrical agent for acts no one else wants to handle. It
looks a has-been singer who he manages (there’s the musical
connection, folks) is on the brink of making a successful comeback.
He tasks Danny with bringing his mistress to an important
show….hi-jinx ensue.
Aside
from talking about the film itself, we discuss our favourite films
from Woody’s back-catalogue, the use of music in his films, whether
Woody Allen's films are really about nostalgia, New York as a
back-drop for cinema and how it’s changed over the last 30
years…..and Milton Berle’s member.
Once
again, we owe a huge debt of thanks to Frank for taking the time to
come on the show. He has an encyclopaedic knowledge of film, and is a
super-mentsch to boot. Thanks for helping make this episode extra
special.
