Woody Adjacent - Bill Murray, Richard Dreyfuss & Frank Oz - What About Bob (1991)

Welcome back to another episode of Woody Allen Adjacent, right here on the Woody Allen Retrospective Podcast.

 

This time around, we kick things off with a bit of Oscar 2026 talk - because, of course, we couldn’t resist. Our good old boy Timmy C finds himself in a little bit of trouble, which we have some fun unpacking before getting into the main feature...

 

For this month’s Adjacent pick, James brings us a very special one: the 1991 comedy What About Bob? starring Bill Murray - an actor we wished had crossed paths with Woody Allen on screen.

 

Admittedly,  in the editing process for this episode, i (Don) wondered if we might’ve leaned into the nitpicking just a little bit too much :P … but honestly, that’s part of the fun of doing a movie podcast no?

 

All in all, it’s a lively episode, and a good one to revisit or discover for the first time!

 

Next month, we’ve got a special follow up - something we promised last year for a beloved actor

 

Thanks as always for listening and supporting the show - we know y'all are just as excited as we are to tackle Woodys filmography again - remember, that starts this October 2026!
