Woody Adjacent - Tom O'Brien, Katherine Waterston & Caitlin FitzGerald - Manhattan Romance (2014)

Welcome back to the Woody Allen Retrospective Podcast for another episode of Woody Allen Adjacent!   On this adjacent episode we take a reddit recommendation for a movie that looks and sounds very much like films Woody has made in the past.. in fact, this may very well be a 'homage' to such Woody Allen movies: Manhattan and or Annie Hall!   However... upon watching..  it became clear to us this might just be one of the most disappointing, perplexing and just poor adjacent type films we have ever seen, putting adjacent aside, its generally a terrible film in the genre of romantic comedies     We are by no means film experts but as fans of the genre that have seen and discussed MANY films of this ilk, its quite astounding to see just how bad this one was to watch.   We don't believe we have been this critical since our very first adjacent discussion on Lous CK's 'I Love You Daddy'   Let us give praise where it is due thought - props to Scott Miller who was Director of Photography, the visual presentation is actually decent....   PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU HAVE SEEN THIS MASTERPIECE BY COMMENTING IN OUR COMMENT SECTION LINK  >  https://bit.ly/warpcom   ------------------------------------   Anyhoo, here are the links we mentioned in the opening news section of the show!   Rebecca Hall: I regret apologising for working with Woody Allen (Article Link) - https://www.theguardian.com/film/2024/nov/17/rebecca-hall-i-regret-apologising-for-working-with-woody-allen   By The Way Woody Allen Is Innocent Documentary Update (Video)   https://youtu.be/WH_LtT0JT54?si=C-S6v6Jrh4eWYDQA   ____________________________________________________________   Please check out the links below for the full cast, user reviews, ratings and info you may find interesting   Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manhattan_Romance   IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2608324/   Rotten Tomatoes: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/manhattan_romance   _________________________________________   A VERY Special Thanks to The Woody Allen Pages Website & The Woody Allen Subreddit for the continued support and info – check them out for the latest from the Woody Allen Fan Community!!   https://www.woodyallenpages.com     &    https://www.reddit.com/r/woodyallen   PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT TO THIS OR ANY OTHER EPISODE USING OUR COMMENT SECTION VIDEO LINK HERE   >>>>>>>  https://bit.ly/warpcom   IF YOU LIKE THE SHOW, PLEASE CONSIDER BUYING US A COFFEE / GIVING US A TIP VIA OUR PATREON CAMPAIGN  >>> https://www.patreon.com/woodyretro   Thanks for listening as always - we would also LOVE a review on iTunes or a 5 star rating via Spotify or whichever podcast platform you are listening on - please find all our connected links below.   >>>   https://linktr.ee/woodyretro
