    Episode 30 – Radio Days (1987)

    Radio Days is the 15th film written and directed by Woody Allen, first released in 1987. Radio Days marks the culmination of everything Woody Allen had done to that point. Featuring plenty of Allen’s past cast, it mixes European feel, directing flair, old time entertainment, the documentary form and something very American into a great film. Woody Allen narrates an almost biographical story, about a child who grows up in the time of World War II, but falling in love with the stories on the radio. We follow the young boy Joe, played by Seth Green, and his charming, crazy family, as their lives are connected to the radio. Welcome to the Woody Allen Pages podcast. This week we look at 1987’s Radio Days. How it was conceived, how it was made and how it mixes a bit of everything that makes Woody Allen great.

    To Rome With Love is the 42nd film written and directed by Woody Allen, first released in 2012. It’s an anthology film of four farcical, romantic stories. They include stories of a man who can sing opera but only in a shower, a man mentoring a younger man on love, a newly married couple getting lost in Rome and a man who finds himself suddenly famous. Made and released at a high point in Allen’s career, it stars Elliot Page, Jesse Eisenberg, Alec Baldwin, Penelope Cruz, Greta Gerwig, Roberto Benigni, Judy Davis and for the first time in 5 films, Woody Allen himself. It continues Allen’s fascination with Europe, having filmed in London, Paris and Barcelona in the last decade. Welcome to the Woody Allen Pages Podcast. Thai week we look at 2012’s To Rome With Love. How it was conceived, how it was made, and how it really makes me want to travel. Spoilers are everywhere so watch the films and then come back. So much more at our website – Woody Allen Pages.

    Episode 28 – Take The Money And Run (1969)

    Take The Money And Run is the first film written and directed by Woody Allen, first released in 1969. Woody Allen stars as Virgil Starkwell, a bank robber and petty criminal. Told as a mockumentary, we learn about his childhood, his first crimes, his arrests, his getaway, and his eventual fate. What it really is though, is a chance for Woody Allen to create sketch after sketch of absurdist humour. Take The Money And Run is a highly regarded comedy – the first of a run of purely comedic films Allen would make (or, as Allen coined them, the ‘early, funny ones’) before heading into more interesting ground. Welcome to the Woody Allen Pages Podcast. This week we look at 1969’s Take The Money And Run. How it was conceived, how it was made, and how, after all these years, its still quite funny.

    Episode 27 – Anything Else (2003)

    Anything Else is the 33rd film written and directed by Woody Allen, first released in 2003. Jason Biggs stars as Jerry Falk, a young comedy writer in New York, who has to sort out his life. He’s in a relationship with Cristina Ricci’s Amanda that’s going off the rails and a terrible manager played by Danny DeVito. But a friendship with an older writer, Woody Allen’s David Dobel, could provide a way out, but he’s also a psychopath. Anything Else was Allen giving people what they thought they wanted from him – a sprawling romantic comedy with some deeper meaning. But it was a box office flop, and that failure overshadows how this film was Allen’s most deeply personal in over a decade. Welcome to the Woody Allen Pages podcast. This week, we look at 2003’s Anything Else. How it was conceived, how it just wasn’t what people wanted. Spoilers are everywhere – so watch the film and then come back.

    Episode 26 – Manhattan Murder Mystery (1993)

    Manhattan Murder Mystery is the 22nd film written and directed by Woody Allen, first released in 1993. Woody Allen and Diane Keaton stars as Larry and Carol Lipton, a couple that live in a New York apartment building, across from an elderly couple. One night, one of the elderly neighbours die from a heart attack. Nothing seems strange, but Carol begins to suspect something – and she can’t let it go despite the doubt from her friends and husband. After a period of drama – both on screen and off – Allen returns to something that is brightly comedic with Manhattan Murder Mystery. It’s a much needed breath of fresh air, compared to his previous film, Husbands And Wives. And in a crowd pleasing move, it reunited Allen with Diane Keaton. Welcome to the Woody Allen Pages podcast. This week, we look at 1993’s Manhattan Murder Mystery. How it was conceived, how it was made, and how it was a bit of a laugh. Spoilers are everywhere – so watch the film and then come back.

    Episode 25 – Wonder Wheel (2016)

    Wonder Wheel is the 47th film written and directed by Woody Allen. The film stars Kate Winslet as Ginny, a former small time actress who has ended up a waitress at the faded Coney Island in the 50s. An affair with the local lifeguard Mickey (Justin Timberlake) can’t make her happy either, especially when her husband’s estranged daughter Carolina (Juno Temple) turns up. This is a tight, taut and claustrophobic drama about flawed people. It unfolds like a play anchored by an incredible performance from Kate Winslet, who sits in a beautiful backdrop of a recreated Coney Island from another time. Welcome to the Woody Allen Pages podcast. This week we look at 2017’s Wonder Wheel. How it was conceived, how it was made and how it’s really, really bleak.
