    Woody Adjacent - John Travolta, Gene Hackman, Rene Russo & Danny DeVito - Get Shorty (1995)

    Woody Adjacent - John Travolta, Gene Hackman, Rene Russo & Danny DeVito - Get Shorty (1995)

    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!

    Woody Adjacent - Kevin Bacon, John Malkovich, Jamie Lee Curtis & Joe Mantegna - Queens Logic (1991)

    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?    >_>>  https://www.patreon.com/woodyretro OR  https://ko-fi.com/woodyretro

    Woody Adjacent - Steve Coogan & Rob Brydon - The Trip Movie Series (2010-2020)

    Woody Adjacent - Steve Coogan & Rob Brydon - The Trip Movie Series (2010-2020)

    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.

Wow. These guys are dumb.

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.
