Back again with a Woody episode many have waited for us to get around to - apparently this is another standout character piece that although uncomfortable to sit through... it's hard not to admire what's on display here....but sadly we have to inject a bit of reality in this episode as well
First off as always, a description of the movie for the uninitiated
In Blue Jasmine (2013) Jasmine Malone (Cate Blanchett), a former socialite from New York City, finds herself destitute and forced to seek refuge with her sister, Ginger (Sally Hawkins), in the modest working-class neighborhood of San Francisco.
Jasmine's world has been shattered by the revelation of her husband's infidelity and financial ruin, leaving her with nothing but her illusions of grandeur and a desperate need to reclaim her lost status. As she grapples with her shattered self-image and the realities of her new life, she becomes increasingly entangled in a web of deceit and manipulation.
Now putting the movie aside for the moment, at the time of this actual recording Dylan Farrow had come out to do a in person interview for the first time to AGAIN continue the accusation of Woody and sexual assault in the midst of the #metoo / #timesup movement - as well as all the current crop of past actors that worked with Woody now denouncing Woody Allen completely
Because we decided to tackle all this drama in this episode specifically, it obviously got extended more than urual, so we want to thank those who stuck it out all the way through to the very end
