See Hear Podcast episode 40 - Broadway Danny Rose

See Hear is about to get nostalgic for episode 40….or maybe not.
  There are two sorts of people in the world – those who love
the FILMS of Woody Allen and those who can’t stand them.  
Among those who love his films there are two sorts of people – some
prefer his early zany films about relationships, morality the
universe and our place in it, and bouncing boobs. However, there
are those who prefer his mid-period Fellini / Bergman style dramas
/ comedies about relationships, morality the universe and our place
in it, but with no bouncing boobs. (Does anyone prefer his
latter-day films?)   Tim, Bernie and Maurice are joined once
again by Frank Santopadre of Gilbert Gottfried’s Amazing Colossal
Podcast to discuss 1984’s Broadway Danny Rose, a film that combines
the best elements of the former and latter styles of his
filmography. Woody plays Danny Rose, a loyal theatrical agent for
acts no one else wants to handle. It looks a has-been singer who he
manages (there’s the musical connection, folks) is on the brink of
making a successful comeback. He tasks Danny with bringing his
mistress to an important show….hi-jinx ensue.   Aside from
talking about the film itself, we discuss our favourite films from
Woody’s back-catalogue, the use of music in his films, whether
Woody Allen's films are really about nostalgia, New York as a
back-drop for cinema and how it’s changed over the last 30
years…..and Milton Berle’s member.   Once again, we owe a huge
debt of thanks to Frank for taking the time to come on the show. He
has an encyclopaedic knowledge of film, and is a super-mentsch to
boot. Thanks for helping make this episode extra special.
