Woody Adjacent - Kevin Spacey, Annette Bening, Alan Ball & Sam Mendes – American Beauty (1999)
Welcome back ladies and gents to another episode of Woody Adjacent!
Soo much is happening in the world of related entertainment and politics it seems we just had to address a portion of it as it relates to certain aspects of our podcast
So... starting with Alec Baldwins RUST court case which has now come to a sudden and eventful close. As Mr Baldwin is clearly one of Woody Allens biggest public supporters and listeners still want to hear our take on this eventful case closure
Moving on from there we pick up with our Ai Podcast assistant's movie choice of the month... that being 1999's American Beauty.
The starring lead in said movie, Kevin Spacey is yet another controversial figure we needed to further discuss, not only in relation to the chosen movie pick but also in terms of his ongoing blacklist backlash causing much discourse in the fiery court of public opinion
There is just soo much to discuss on this episode it surely now becomes one of our longest episodes in our catalogue
We hope you enjoy, please consider leaving a comment using our special link below as well as our other related links below!
In American Beauty (1999) Kevin Spacey stars as Lester Burnham, a disillusioned middle-aged man who has a thankless job and beleives he is trapped in a loveless marriage with his materialistic wife, Carolyn (Annette Bening). As a midlife crisis unfolds, Lester becomes infatuated with their teenage daughter's best friend, Angela (Mena Suvari), which further sparking a desire to reclaim his lost youth and inner happiness.
