SE02EP38: My Blue Heaven (1990)

A comedy murder mystery romance thriller directed by Woody Allen which sees the repairing of the delightful on screen partnership of Woody Allen and Diane Keaton.

John Candy plays a soap opera writer caught in his own fictional town with his own fictional creations.  Must be nice.

We continue looking at the early 90's comedies of Cameron's childhood, in this case the Kevin Kline dual role film Dave. A fictional Presidential comedy from the days where you could just about pull that sort of thing off.

So for the week of April, we are going back and looking at the comedies of cohost Cameron's childhood.  This week it's the mafia comedy My Blue Heaven starring Steve Martin and Rick Moranis.  But will the viewing experience be heaven or...not heaven?

So you know how exciting geopolitical conferences can be? Well imagine that but with ancient bog creatures!

A film that divided opinion here at the Better With Booze Film Club Podcast.  Tune in to find out where the lines were drawn.

We continue our trip through movies we missed in 2024 with Conclave.  With all the acting muscle on call here, how bad could it be?

This month we will be looking at films we missed out seeing last year.  And we begin with a film that technically premiered in 2023, but didn't hit the theatres until 2024, so we're counting it.  It is the Anthony Hopkins led biopic One Life.

We end our month of romcoms on a high, and all it took was a gay romantic comedy adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Guest host Elisa joins us for the fun.

For our month of romcoms, we revisit a late era Hugh Grant flick in which he pairs up with Sarah Jessica Parker.  Basically what City Slickers would be like if you replaced Billy Crystal with Hugh Grant and both Daniel Stern and Bruno Kirby with Sarah Jessica Parker.  And Jack Palance with Sam Elliott, which is probably the nearest to a 1 to 1 ratio.
