Ep 59: 2016 - Crisis In Six Scenes *Discussion*


Listen Later

At this point in Woody Allen's career Amazon Studios were distributing his movies and in an effort to bolster their television projects, Woody was given this opportunity to create this series we are discussing today!

 

So today we debate the results of said project... hoping for the best and discovering the not so best i'm afraid :(

 

In Crisis In Six Scenes (2016) A placid suburban life explodes when radical fugitive Lenny (Miley Cyrus) bursts into the home of neurotic writer Sidney (Woody Allen) and his therapist wife Kay (Elaine May). As chaos and secrets ignite, the couple's comfortable facade cracks, revealing hidden desires, political tensions, and simmering marital fissures. Forced to navigate a surreal odyssey of gun-toting revolutionaries, romantic entanglements, and unexpected heroism, they confront the fragile foundations of their lives and grapple with the transformative power of crisis.
