Ep 31: 1995 - Mighty Aphrodite *Discussion*

Back on the retrospective with a fun raunchy comedy that gives a somewhat unexpected feel good aftertaste when all is said and done!

 

Mighty Aphrodite (1995) has Lenny Weinrib (Woody Allen), an adopted child's father, embark on a quest to find his son's biological mother, leading him to Linda Ash (Mira Sorvino), a former porn star turned prostitute.

 

Lenny's discovery of Linda's past challenges his preconceptions about her and the circumstances surrounding his son's adoption. As he delves deeper into Linda's life, he uncovers vulnerabilities and complexities, revealing a woman far different from his initial assumptions.

 

This film explores themes of parenthood, love, and the nature of family, questioning the importance of biological origins and the bonds formed through shared experiences.
