What does it mean to get away with murder — and live with it? In this episode, we dive deep into Woody Allen’s Crimes and Misdemeanors, widely considered one of the greatest American films of the 20th century and Allen’s most philosophically ambitious work.   We unpack the film’s dual narratives: Judah Rosenthal’s (played by Martin Landau) desperate, darkening spiral after arranging the murder of his mistress, and Cliff Stern’s (played by Woody Allen) bittersweet, comic pursuit of meaning in a world that seems indifferent to virtue. Together, these stories form a devastating meditation on guilt, morality, and whether the universe has any moral order at all. In this episode, we explore:   ∙How Allen balances tragedy and comedy to make the moral stakes hit harder ∙Why Crimes and Misdemeanors is Allen’s most Dostoevskian film — and how it subverts the Crime and Punishment framework ∙The film’s central question: what is the point of being a moral person? ∙The film’s haunting final scene and what it says about how we construct meaning after moral failure.   Whether you’re a longtime Woody Allen fan, a student of film philosophy, or simply someone who loves cinema that wrestles with the big questions, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
