- An honest & subjective look at Allen’s vast career
I stumbled across this podcast project by mere accident. Already 17 episodes in I am quite enjoying the perspective the two very different hosts have. I also like their honest reaction to the reviews & not pandering to the masses or what most consider are Allen’s best work. There are even times that after a rewatch of a film they thought they really liked they take a turn for their new thoughts & feelings. The episode lengths are perfect & usually with 30 mins or so. I will probably burn through... more

The existence of this pod and that people subscribe to it is really really sad

Rape and molestation promotion
Apple Podcasts1@charmcitymamaUnited States4 years ago - Woody
You support a peadophile who incriminates himself with words and actions. Disgusted.
Apple Podcasts1PaulaPrincessAustralia5 years ago - Honest and thoughtful
The hosts present interesting analyses and opinions on all of Woody Allen’s oeuvre. It’s a sad commentary on American society that lynch mob mentality has become so widespread and critical examination of facts is so rejected that a podcast like this has to be considered courageous.
Apple Podcasts5Medium splashUnited States5 years ago - Excellent !
Great podcast. Please keep them going !
Apple Podcasts5Kim ChipUnited States5 years ago - Exactly what was needed!
Can’t believe a podcast on this hasn’t been done before! Great job guys - good for the new Woody fan and those of us who love his work but haven’t watched the older films for some years. Keep it up, look forward to all the pod casts for all his films.

Canada6 years ago - You missed the mark on Hannah
The title is Hannah and her sisters. Not Hannah and her husbands. The important stories are the three sisters and their relationships and lives. Everything else is peripheral stories. Your review was backwards.
Apple Podcasts1Merrimack-KidUnited States6 years ago - Ouch
Wow. These guys are dumb.
Apple Podcasts1weewilliestylzCanada6 years ago - Critical, Fair & Funny
I’ve really enjoyed these podcasts and the hosts do a great job of critiquing Woody Allen’s back catalogue.
I’ve also had some good recommendations from this show for other Woody Allen-like movies that have been fantastic so far.
Good work, guys!

United Kingdom6 years ago - A laid back seemingly millenial discourse on Woodys epic filmography
his was a refreshing and surprisingly good recommendation from the fabulous Woody Allen Pages website (highly recommended) and although the hosts are a bit younger than I would have expected, it is actually refreshing to get a more.. shall we say, millennial perspective on Woody Allen's filmography. I can understand why some people may be frustrated with their unpolished and brash approach to some conversations but a lot of so called Woody Allen fans are quite stuffy, entitled and ironically hy... more
Apple Podcasts5Angela WicksUnited Kingdom8 years ago - Hosts are young, ignorant, and unwise.
They sadly don’t have much insight and their lack of Hollywood history is astounding. Their hearts are in the right place but it’s like listening to students’ comments in a college lecture instead of listening to the professor who knows the subject matter.
Apple Podcasts1MarGarBarUnited States8 years ago - Finally!
Finally a podcast about my favorite director! I only wish this had a more dependable release schedule. Why drop so many episodes in one day rather than release one per week or so?
