Show Notes: On this episode legendary writer and show creator talks about being the first white guy on stage at the Apollo, getting a show about alcoholics cancelled because the network president was an alcoholic, the pleasure of writing a first draft, and driving way too fast, and how music drives his writings and the time he was oddly alone with Bruce Springsteen and told him a dirty joke. Bio: on Reo has always been quick with a quip, from the time he got his first laugh sometime back in junior high school to the jokes he wrote for traveling comedians, through the half century he spent “pushing the limits” of sitcoms to the book he is currently negotiating with Random House—The Tibetan Joke Book of the Dead. “It's about Hollywood and death which are probably synonyms,” said Reo, the recipient of WGAW's Paddy Chayefsky Laurel Award for Television Writing Achievement to be presented at the 2026 Writers Guild Awards. “I think you're born with a funny gene, or maybe it's the way you're raised. Nobody else in my family was particularly funny, but I got a laugh in the seventh grade, and I thought, ‘Maybe I can do this. This is nice because it stops people from hitting you.' I read that Woody Allen was making $500 a week writing jokes, and I thought, ‘Well, fuck, I can do that!'” And he did, effectively launching a career that has spanned seven decades, earning writing credits on series such as Sanford and Son, Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, M*A*S*H, and Rhoda and creating or co-creating Blossom, My Wife and Kids, The John Larroquette Show, and The Ranch.

Congressional Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a set of 19 photos from a larger trove of over 95,000 images obtained from Jeffrey Epstein's estate, aiming to shed light on his social connections. The photos include well-known figures such as President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Steve Bannon, Larry Summers, Woody Allen, and Prince Andrew, often shown in social settings with Epstein or others; some images show Trump with unidentified women whose faces are redacted and others depict social scenes on jets or at events. None of the released photos directly show criminal acts, and their context and dates are not provided, but Democrats argue they raise important questions about Epstein's associations with powerful individuals and call for fuller transparency as part of a broader investigation. The release is part of an ongoing effort by lawmakers to review and make public materials from Epstein's estate and related government files.The photo release has quickly become political: **House Democrats say the images underscore a need to end what they call a “cover-up” and demand that the Department of Justice release the full set of Epstein files under the recently passed Epstein Files Transparency Act, which requires federal release of related documents by a mid-December deadline. Republicans and White House officials have criticized the release as selective and politically motivated, accusing Democrats of cherry-picking photos to create a narrative rather than present an objective record, and emphasizing that the photos do not demonstrate wrongdoing by anyone pictured. The disclosures have reignited public debate over Epstein's network and the extent of powerful people's associations with him, even as broader document releases and further image batches are expected in the coming weeks.to contact me:Disturbing photo on Epstein's desk sparks horror over 'incapacitated young girl passed out on couch' | Daily Mail Online

Il giorno è infine giunto e quindi ecco la lunga filmografia di Woody Allen, regista e autore di un cinema tragicomico e che parla per davvero di noi esseri umani e delle nostre vulnerabilità.Ultimo (al momento) film diretto e scritto da Allen, ambientato completamente in Francia e con protagonisti tre esseri umani alle prese con un triangolo amoroso potenzialmente letale."Un colpo di fortuna" potrebbe ribaltare l'intera vicenda ma bisogna vedere per credere.
Visszatér a műsor egyik legnépszerűbb vendége, Köves Gábor újságíró, akivel a korábbi adásokban (első, második, harmadik) leginkább a sztárinterjúiról beszélgettünk. Most viszont megjelent első regénye, az Apropó, New York, úgyhogy több se kellett, már hívtam is be a (35 fokos, légkondi nélküli) stúdióba.„Az autofikciót jobb lett volna elkerülni, de hát ez sikerült” – mondja Köves a könyvről, amelynek főhőse hiába dolgozik magánnyomozóként, minden másban teljesen megegyezik Köves Gáborral. A nyomozós szál hamar feledésbe merül, és onnantól csak Köves mesél a számára fontos dolgokról: a családjáról, a kutyájáról, a margitszigeti futásról és mindenekelőtt New Yorkról, annak parkjairól, utcáiról, víztározóiról és könyvesboltjairól, vagy Philip Roth lakásáról, ahová a főhős interjút készíteni megy a nagy íróval. Szóval ez pont az a könyv, amire minden Köves-rajongó vágyott.Ha a műsor végén úgy érzed, hogy még nincs eleged Kövesből, akkor menj át a Filmklub podcast Patreon-oldalára, ahol egy dollárnyi támogatásért cserébe további 28 percnyi beszélgetést hallgathatsz meg. A bónusz részben megdumáljuk például, hogy milyen volt Star Wars-rajongónak lenni a nyolcvanas évek Magyarországán, kéne-e filmet csinálni az Apropó, New Yorkból, és ha igen, ki rendezze, de kitárgyaljuk a Piros Arany-függőségünket, illetve azt is, hogyan úsztuk meg annak idején a katonaságot.Dolgok, amik szóba jönnek:“New York a felszínen tart” - Klág Dávid interjúja Kövessel, amiben Köves háromszor is megemlít engemA második Willem Dafoe-interjú, amiért nem kellett fizetniA Tim Robbins-interjú, amiben a Jákob lajtorjájáról kellett kérdezniÉletem Woody Allennel - a cikk, amiben Köves elmeséli a Woody Allen-interjúitKovács Bálint posztja a könyve eladásairól

Welcome back to the Woody Allen Retrospective Podcast for another episode of Woody Allen Adjacent! As we get ever closer to the re-retrospective coming this October 2026 we carry our Adjacent series and this month it's James's pick he's chosen Stanley Tucci's possibly overlooked 1998 comedy The Impostors—a loving homage to the golden age of slapstick, screwball comedies, and classic double acts like Laurel & Hardy and the Marx Brothers. Packed with an incredible ensemble cast including Oliver Platt, Alfred Molina, Steve Buscemi, Tony Shalhoub, Lili Taylor, Isabella Rossellini, Billy Connolly and even a brief appearance from Woody Allen himself, this is one of those films that has quietly built a passionate cult following over the years… while leaving plenty of other viewers completely baffled. Along the way, Don discovers that he may never have truly understood what defines a farce until finally sitting down with this film, while James makes the case that Hollywood simply doesn't take creative swings like this anymore. Whether The Impostors is a forgotten comedy gem or an ambitious experiment that doesn't quite come together… it certainly gave us plenty to talk about. Thanks as always for listening! ========================================================== Links mentioned in this episode: James Content Rollout Announcement Trailer - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEFovWooMuA Stanley Tucci's The Impostors (1998) Interview - https://freshairarchive.org/segments/actor-director-and-writer-stanley-tucci-imposters ================================================== For full cast details, user reviews, and more background on the film, check out:

Il giorno è infine giunto e quindi ecco la lunga filmografia di Woody Allen, regista e autore di un cinema tragicomico e che parla per davvero di noi esseri umani e delle nostre vulnerabilità.Isolato definitivamente dal cinema americano, Allen non si arrende e nel 2020 (2021 da noi) presenta un film che vuole riflettere sul suo rapporto con l'arte, il cinema e la vita in generale. E quindi ecco "Rifkin's Festival".
In this episode of The Thinking Mind, Dr. Alex is joined by Michael Cohen and Jonathan Kirschner, hosts of That '70s Movie Podcast, to discuss Woody Allen's 1988 film Another Woman, starring Gena Rowlands, Ian Holm, Mia Farrow and Gene Hackman.Another Woman is a quiet but devastating psychological drama about Marion Post, a philosophy professor whose life begins to unravel when she overhears the therapy sessions of a younger pregnant woman. Dr Alex, Michael and Jonathan discuss why the film feels like such an “adult” movie, how it explores introspection, repression, memory, regret and the possibility of change. This is a conversation about cinema, psychology, middle age, missed possibilities, and the strange kind of hope that can come from finally seeing yourself clearly.Check out That '70s Movie Podcast:https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/that-70s-movie-podcast/id1832034357Interviewed by Dr. Alex Curmi.

Woody Allen has called A Streetcar Named Desire the most well-directed film ever made and its influence on Blue Jasmine (2013) is unmistakable. Both concern a woman whose fantasy life and self-deception break down and both feature incredible performances by the lead actress: in Streetcar, it's Vivien Leigh and here it's Cate Blanchett. And if Streetcar is a high point of Eliza Kazan's filmography, Blue Jasmine is surely one of Allen's and perhaps the best of the subgenre Woody Allen Movies Without The Woody Allen Character. Incredible bumper music by John Deley. Blue Jasmine is Allen's 44th film; his memoir, Apropos of Nothing, details how he became a writer and director of fifty films.

It's time for everyone's favorite and not at all problematic film topic: Woody Allen! Whatever you might think of the man, we would be remiss as a movie podcast about New Hollywood if we didn't take the time to discuss his seminal breakthrough masterpiece, Annie Hall. Specifically, as a part of our ongoing series on all the 70s movie icons who keep dropping like flies, we wanted to talk about what is kinda inarguably THE Diane Keaton movie. We hope you find yourself capable of enjoying this episode. Topics include: Marshall McLuhan, Godard, and who is or isn't allowed to use Yiddish.
Brad Karp, the longtime chairman of the elite Wall Street law firm Paul, Weiss, was forced to step down in early 2026 after newly released Justice Department files exposed a series of previously undisclosed interactions with Jeffrey Epstein. The documents showed that Karp had a personal relationship with Epstein that went beyond incidental contact, including attending private dinners at Epstein's residence and exchanging emails that reflected a notably friendly tone. In one instance, Karp thanked Epstein for an evening he described as “once in a lifetime,” and in another, he asked Epstein to help his son secure a role in a Woody Allen film. While Karp and his firm maintained that neither he nor Paul, Weiss ever represented Epstein professionally, the optics of those interactions—particularly given Epstein's 2008 conviction—triggered intense scrutiny.The fallout was swift and reputationally severe. Karp resigned not only from his role as chairman of Paul, Weiss after nearly two decades but also from external positions, including a college board seat, as the controversy widened. Additional disclosures suggested that his interactions with Epstein intersected with his professional orbit, particularly through his representation of Apollo Global Management and its co-founder Leon Black, a key Epstein associate. Emails also indicated that Karp at times engaged with Epstein on legal and strategic matters involving high-profile individuals, further blurring the line between personal and professional contact. Even though Karp expressed regret and framed the relationship as limited, the broader reaction reflected a growing intolerance for any post-conviction association with Epstein, especially among powerful institutional figures whose judgment is expected to be beyond reproach.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.ft.com/content/064e81a5-5e1b-4364-a581-9062868a3735?syn-25a6b1a6=1Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.
"La mayor satisfacción es que el actor se ponga delante del espejo, ya vestido del todo, y piense: ya me siento en el personaje". Con estas palabras resumió su oficio Yvonne Blake, británica nacionalizada española ganadora de un Oscar y cuatro premios Goya en la categoría de Diseño de vestuario. Blake ejemplifica todo lo que hemos aprendido leyendo 'El hábito hace al cine', de Manuela Partearroyo, sobre la historia del cine español a través de cómo han sido vestidos nuestros actores y actrices, desde 'La vida en un hilo' o 'Las chicas de la cruz roja' hasta 'La niña de tus ojos', 'El día de la bestia' o incluso 'Midnight in Paris' de Woody Allen. ¿Qué distingue a un buen vestuario de época en el cine? ¿Y por qué es tan difícil su diseño cuando, por contra, se trata de una historia de época actual? Lo analizamos con Carlos Alsina, Rubén Amón, Rosa Belmonte, Guillermo Altares, Sergio del Molino y Nacho Vigalondo. Además, anticipamos la nueva película de Steven Spielberg con un ranking de sus mejores largometrajes (perpetrado por Altares).

Además, anticipamos la nueva película de Steven Spielberg con un ranking de sus mejores largometrajes (perpetrado por Altares).

In this episode of Reading Is Funktamental, we discuss the fascinating life of a true NYC music original, Brian Cullman, author of How to Prepare for the Past: Travels in Music & Times.New Yorker Brian Cullman is a true rock ‘n roll Zelig. Like the character from the Woody Allen film of the same name, Cullman has built friendships with a remarkable array of figures central to the past six decades of popular music, from Ed Sullivan, Lester Bangs, and Big Joe Turner to Joe Boyd, Bill Laswell, and the Master Musicians of Jajouka. Cullman's memories and adventures with this cast of noteworthy and often outlandish characters form the core of his entertaining new memoir, How to Prepare for the Past: Travels in Music & Time (Ze Books). Cullman's meetings with these names are presented in 37 concise, vivid vignettes over just 250 pages. I quickly devoured these highly readable snippets of life, music, and travel within about 48 hours. For more details, see the review I penned for NYSMusic.com https://nysmusic.com/2026/04/06/brian-cullmans-memoir-of-a-rock-n-roll-zelig/ "Reading is Funktamental" is a monthly one-hour podcast and radio show about great books written about music and music-makers.

Jeffrey Epstein's relationship with Woody Allen was not some passing handshake or random name in an address book. Public reporting and released records have described Allen and Soon-Yi Previn as longtime friends and neighbors of Epstein in New York, with the three dining together often and maintaining contact even after Epstein's 2008 conviction. Newly released emails added more texture to that relationship, including records showing Epstein helped arrange a 2015 White House tour for Allen and Previn. That detail matters because it shows Epstein was not merely tolerated from a distance; he was still useful, still connected, and still treated as someone who could open doors for famous people. Allen has not been accused of criminal wrongdoing in connection with Epstein, but the relationship is still deeply uncomfortable because it fits the broader pattern of Epstein's post-conviction life: even after becoming a registered sex offender, he remained welcome in elite social circles where fame, money, and access insulated people from ordinary reputational consequences.Epstein's Hollywood world was part of a much larger celebrity-access machine. His name and records have been connected over the years to actors, comedians, models, producers, media figures, and entertainment-adjacent power brokers, not necessarily as criminal participants, but as people moving through the same rooms, dinners, parties, foundations, flights, introductions, and favor networks. Figures such as Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, Naomi Campbell, Chelsea Handler, and others have appeared in public Epstein-related reporting or records in different contexts, while modeling-world connections also show how Epstein used glamour industries as another access point to young women and status. The key point is not that every famous person who encountered Epstein committed a crime; the key point is that Hollywood, like Wall Street, academia, politics, philanthropy, and royalty, was one more prestige ecosystem where Epstein could launder himself socially. He understood that being seen around celebrities created legitimacy, and the entertainment world gave him exactly what he craved: proximity to fame, cultural polish, beautiful people, and the illusion that his criminal past could be buried under enough dinner invitations and famous names.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

Congressional Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a set of 19 photos from a larger trove of over 95,000 images obtained from Jeffrey Epstein's estate, aiming to shed light on his social connections. The photos include well-known figures such as President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Steve Bannon, Larry Summers, Woody Allen, and Prince Andrew, often shown in social settings with Epstein or others; some images show Trump with unidentified women whose faces are redacted and others depict social scenes on jets or at events. None of the released photos directly show criminal acts, and their context and dates are not provided, but Democrats argue they raise important questions about Epstein's associations with powerful individuals and call for fuller transparency as part of a broader investigation. The release is part of an ongoing effort by lawmakers to review and make public materials from Epstein's estate and related government files.The photo release has quickly become political: **House Democrats say the images underscore a need to end what they call a “cover-up” and demand that the Department of Justice release the full set of Epstein files under the recently passed Epstein Files Transparency Act, which requires federal release of related documents by a mid-December deadline. Republicans and White House officials have criticized the release as selective and politically motivated, accusing Democrats of cherry-picking photos to create a narrative rather than present an objective record, and emphasizing that the photos do not demonstrate wrongdoing by anyone pictured. The disclosures have reignited public debate over Epstein's network and the extent of powerful people's associations with him, even as broader document releases and further image batches are expected in the coming weeks.to contact me:Disturbing photo on Epstein's desk sparks horror over 'incapacitated young girl passed out on couch' | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Welcome back to the Woody Allen Retrospective Podcast for another episode of Woody Allen Adjacent! James actually kicks things off this month with a long overdue announcement regarding one of his major personal projects — something we know some listeners will be very interested in hearing about, while others may understandably just want to jump straight into the film discussion itself. So for those purely here for the Woody Adjacent conversation, feel free to skip ahead to: ⏩ 20 minutes, 02 seconds Down the line, James and I will likely do separate discussion episodes covering some of our future non-Woody creative projects and ideas in a bit more detail. As always, we genuinely appreciate the continued support — whether that's for the podcast itself, our side projects, or simply just taking the time to listen in the first place. Anyway… This time around, we head back into the AI recommendation list — that ongoing collection of Woody-esque films selected and defended by our ever-persistent podcast AI assistant. So far we've tackled quite a few picks from the list already, and now it was time for the AI to throw another one onto the table… This episode's choice: Like Father (2018), directed by Lauren Miller Rogen and starring Kristen Bell, Kelsey Grammer, and Seth Rogen. What initially presents itself as a glossy Netflix dramedy about a workaholic woman reconnecting with her estranged father during an accidental cruise vacation slowly reveals itself to be something a little more reflective underneath — a film about emotional inheritance, loneliness, career obsession, disappointment, forgiveness, and the uncomfortable realization that sometimes we slowly become the very people we spent years resenting. Naturally, this led us into a surprisingly thoughtful discussion about late-period Woody Allen comparisons while at the same time enjoying the Ai's justification for choosing this film as an adjacent pick. It's fun to give artificial intelligence a chance to make its own case.. particularly when it fails miserably in the process :P We're not saying that happned on this episode... or are we? ______________________________________________________ For full cast details, user reviews, and more background on the film, check out:
Dans le film Scoop de Woody Allen, le personnage joué par le réalisateur américain meurt dans un accident de la route parce qu'il n'arrive pas à s'habituer à la conduite à l'anglaise. S'aventurer à conduire à gauche de la chaussée serait courageux voire téméraire pour beaucoup d'entre nous tant la conduite à droite est un geste automatique comme se laver les dents ou faire coucou avec la main. Pourtant, on n'a pas toujours conduit à droite en France. C'est même assez récent. Avant on conduisait à gauche ? Quand est-ce que ça a changé ? À quel moment se met-on à rouler à droite en France ?

Three short films about New Yorkers: the relationship of an artist and his assistant falls apart; a very young rich girl has adventures; a lawyer's relationship falls apart when his mother disappears during a magic show. It's an uneven collection, as anthology films often are: Scorsese's "Life Lessons" is a savage look at exploitation, Coppola's "Life Without Zoe" is a middling children's film, and Allen's "Oedipus Wrecks" is a pretty standard Woody Allen sketch. Starring Nick Nolte, Rosanna Arquette, Steve Buscemi, Talia Shire, Mia Farrow, Julie Kavner, Mae Questel, and Woody Allen. Written by RIchard Price, Francis Ford Coppola, Sophia Coppola, and Woody Allen. Directed by Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, and Woody Allen.
1) Levantó: Escuché alguna vez que uno en definitiva tiene el tamaño de los rivales que elige. El ser dueños de nuestras reacciones y nuestras actitudes nos hace comprender que el primer esfuerzo que uno tiene que trabajar es el propio. Uno debe desarrollar el “tolerar” y, al mismo tiempo, y por sobre todo, tiene que trabajar su propio carácter.2) Enviado: Ser maduro es discernir qué es bueno para mi alimento espiritual. Hay cosas que pueden ser entretenidas, pero que no me alimentan. Es importante madurar en la vida espiritual y poder comprender qué me hace bien y qué me hace mal. Tampoco es bueno caer en una dependencia espiritual donde espero que el cura o el pastor me esté diciendo todo el tiempo qué está bien y qué está mal. Es importante trabajar los sentidos espirituales. 3) Contigo: Einstein decía: “Dios no juega a los dados con el Universo”. Porque todo tiene un orden y un proceso en la vida. Woody Allen, cuando le contaron esta frase de Einstein, dijo: “Yo no diría que juega a los dados, más bien diría que juega a las escondidas”. Por eso, en este tiempo de preparación para Pentecostés pedile a Dios el don de ciencia para poder verlo en tu vida y comprender por dónde va tu vida. Algo bueno está por venir.

Send us Fan MailSeason 17's halfway to the finish line, and the TGTPTU boys are back from break revving their engines, ready for the next four in their “hack” director line-up. Jack's pick coming in third is Ron Howard, starting with his first film in the big chair, the “smash-‘em-up” smash success (for a Roger Corman feature) GRAND THEFT AUTO (1977). Howard's only feature to co-write or to co-star in as director, the then-Happy Days star cut his teeth on GTA (no relation to the videogame) coming off the success as leading man-boy in the preceding Corman car chase flick Eat My Dust (1976). As part of Howard's deal with Corman, the success of EMD put the boy who once played Opie Taylor in TV's The Andy Griffith's Show in charge of first and second units, stunt coordinators, helicopters, and his kin/fellow actors brother Clint Howard and father Rance Howard—all this on the day after Ron's 23rd birthday. GTA's plot follows young elopers played by Howard and Nacy Morgan (who might be best known as John Ritter's first wife), who've stolen Morgan's father's Rolls-Royce to avoid the pressure of her pseudo-arranged marriage to a rich dweeb. This theft leads Morgan's father, a prominent citizen about to run for major office, to have his security detail retrieve his car (and daughter). Morgan's jilted dweeb upon learning he's not to be betrothed assumes she's been kidnapped and calls a local radio station to put a bounty on her safe return before stealing a car to give chase himself, causing his wealthy mother to call the same station to offer a separate bounty for her son's safe return. From there, cars go crash, clang, boom, and pow. Start peeling off your lead paint and start snacking on its sweet goodness to revel in this 70's film concept of comedy during what the hosts generally agree is a second-screener. This ep, Ryan turns his head cold to his advantage as a radio announcer; Jack reveals this and Solo (2018) are the only Howard movies he's seen prior; and Thomas and Ken recommend (re)listening to the Any Which Way You Can episode and dunk hard on regular Howard collaborating producer Brian Grazer's hair. CORRECTION: Jonathan Demme's film for Roger Corman wasn't Handle with Care (nor was it Woody Allen's Radio Days) but Caged Heat (followed by Crazy Momma) when Demme was giving Howard some Corman-related advice.

It's Friday. My wife's been out of town for a whole week. I spent the quiet time digging into famous quotes — the kind you've heard a thousand times but never sat with. Woody Allen. Yogi Berra. Will Rogers. Thomas Edison. The old voices still hit if you sit with them for a minute. Today, I ran seven of their best lines through Scott Logic. You'll leave with a simple way to show up, move when you're stuck, and stop rehearsing the life you're supposed to be living. Press play. Bring coffee. Featured Story My wife has scales everywhere. Kitchen scales. Bathroom scale. She weighs her food like a chemist measuring compounds. Twice a week, she hands me a perfectly measured bowl of ice cream. Four ounces, maybe five. It's good stuff. This week she's out of town. I found the half-gallon in the freezer and went to work. Night one. Night two. Night three. Somewhere around night three, I gave myself too much and realized exactly why she measures. Now I have a problem. Do I eat the rest and pretend it was never there? Do I buy a replacement and slide it onto the shelf? I'll tell you what I'm going to do. Important Points Your competition is mostly imaginary. Most never started or already quit, so showing up 70% puts you ahead of the pack. A wrong turn can always be fixed. Standing frozen at the intersection is where life actually runs you over for good. Figure out what you do naturally, without anyone pushing you, and you'll find the thing you should be doing for real. Memorable Quotes The competition is mostly imaginary. Half never started, the other half quit. Show up and the math takes care of itself. A wrong turn, you can fix. Standing at the intersection, you get honked at and hit by a truck. Life runs you over. Failure is just data. If you pay attention and collect enough of it, you accidentally become an expert in the room. Scott's Three-Step Approach Show up and pick a direction. Most of your competition never started or already quit, so being there puts you ahead. Keep moving when you stumble. Each mistake is just data that stacks until you accidentally become an expert in the room. Handle the unfinished business tonight. Don't let it fester until morning, or it will wear you out by tomorrow.
