The Wettening of Panties and the Snoring of a Pit Bull feat Andrea More (Woody Allen on Club Random)
🕑 Added 2025-09-03 00:02:00 +0000 UTCWe just ended up recording for too long for me to get this thing out with only like a six hour turnaround, so here is Woody Allen on Club Random, one day late, featuring actual Woody Allen fan (but not defender, don't worry) Andrea More. Obviously, given who the Club Random guest is, I simply must slap a content warning on here for talk of childhood sexual abuse; we also talked how strange it is that Bill Maher shows so little interest in, or ability to, talk about Woody Allen's work as a filmmaker considering what a huge fan he claims to be, the pathetic sympathy old men inherently pull out of you, and how one of these guys does a pretty good job (from a PR standpoint) of talking about being accused of sexual assault, while the other demonstrates pretty much the worst way to do it. It was a deeply strange conversation, one that I can't imagine Woody Allen's fans and true believers enjoyed very much, and neither one of us ends up particularly clear on why Bill Maher even wanted to have it.

You can watch whatever you want but... Separating the art from the artist is an exercise in intellectual sophistry. Nothing is made in a vacuum and exploring how an artists bias and politics effect their art is a indispensable analytical tool. Even when it makes us feel icky because our faves are terrible people.

My husband just called me the "house wit" as an homage to the "I Especially Hate Bill Maher" intro. He doesn't even listen to this podcast.
