Woman Inherits the Earth: Annie Hall

In this, the Annie Hall episode of the pod, Beth and Tess discuss Diane Keaton’s powerhouse performance in Annie Hall, as well as the legacy of the film, both on its own merits and in light of allegations against its creator, and whether the film holds up as a feminist piece or whether it is pulled under by its misogynist undertones.

Content warning: discussion and allusions to real-world accusations of sexual abuse, including of a child, as well as disturbing levels of sexualization of minors on screen, and some adult language.

A note about spoilers: As much as we’d love to make this a spoiler-free podcast, the truth is, we can’t really get much of a discussion going without completely spoiling the plot of the film we’re talking about. If you don’t want to be spoiled, watch the movie before you listen to us.

Special thanks to aceinet, who recorded our intro and outro song, “Floyd Filtertron DA Shuffle.”
