The Woody Allen Retrospective Podcast

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?

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 the rest of this retrospective in about another week but have enjoyed it immensely.

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.

Great podcast. Please keep them going !
