Episode 30 – Radio Days (1987)

Radio Days is the 15th film written and directed by Woody Allen, first released in 1987. Radio Days marks the culmination of everything Woody Allen had done to that point. Featuring plenty of Allen’s past cast, it mixes European feel, directing flair, old time entertainment, the documentary form and something very American into a great film. Woody Allen narrates an almost biographical story, about a child who grows up in the time of World War II, but falling in love with the stories on the radio. We follow the young boy Joe, played by Seth Green, and his charming, crazy family, as their lives are connected to the radio. Welcome to the Woody Allen Pages podcast. This week we look at 1987’s Radio Days. How it was conceived, how it was made and how it mixes a bit of everything that makes Woody Allen great.
