I'm just saying, if the US really was dead-set on handing the entire US military apparatus over to a hard-drinking TV personality, the text chain would have been a lot more fun with Hoda and Kathie Lee.

'Allen Does Sketch Comedy' doesn't work as well here as it does with TTMAR. Adding the faint trace of a plot just makes it more apparent when the whole thing becomes disconnected setpieces in the second half.
It's alright, but the concept is better than the execution(s).

It's... fine? There's a laugh or two, mostly from Krojack (and even then mostly from the protest organisation scene), but it's an hour and a half of the most boomer-humour shit you'll ever hear in your life. Even for 1969 it's a lot.

You can be a real judgy asshole sometimes, Wordle Bot.
Can't you just let me revel in my five-letter psychic moment for a little while?
I guess today's word should have been SALTY.

It is a terrible thing that Dan Bongino is going to be the second-in-command at the FBI, but that doesn't change the fact that I will never be able to look at his big dumb head without thinking of a Japanese square watermelon.

#GotWoody #3: TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN

Is it smug? Yes. Is it funny? Also kind of yes! Woody Allen's rapid sketch/mockmentary style gets overlooked, but even though there's plenty that doesn't work here, a lot still does. That said, we're three films deep without a cohesive plot.

Saying WUTL walked so KUNG POW! could run feels reductive, but this is a barely one-joke idea stretched so thin it feels less like absurdism and more a lazy improv group trying to convince the audience they're funnier than they are.

WHAT'S NEW, PUSSYCAT?

No plot, all vibes, except all the vibes are apparently 'What if Woody Allen was only, like, the eighth-biggest sex pest in France?'
Overall, so bad it retroactively makes the Tom Jones song worse.

I've decided that one of my 'arts and culture' projects for this year is to watch all of Woody Allen's films in order. (Yes, yes. I know.)
I'm just saying, if the first half of What's New Pussycat? is anything to go by, it's going to be a LONG year.

Listen, Nosferatu: I'm just saying that if you wanted to get people feeling awkwardly horny for a villain with an elaborate moustache played by a pale, lanky dude famous for having incredibly impressive control of his facial expressions, you missed the bus by, like, five days and one hedgehog.

Festive Hot Take: White Christmas is barely a Christmas film. Don't let this red and white bullshit fool you. It is a LIE.
You've got five minutes a seasonal song at the start and the end, but the ENTIRE rest of the movie is built around how entirely unfestive Vermont is. Christmas barely features.
