If you've ever wanted to see two gross grandfathers struggle with social media on social media while talking about "kids these days," Alec Baldwin and Woody Allen have a treat for you. On Tuesday, Baldwin interviewed Allen for nearly an hour on Baldwin's Instagram Live, though a portion of that time was taken up by technical difficulties.
In theory, Allen was being interviewed to promote his new book, a collection of short humor pieces titled "Zero Gravity." It was a rare interview for the 86-year-old Allen, but one in which he was certain never to be asked any difficult questions (or, in the course of the rambling interview, very many questions at all). But the fact of the interview itself leads to a question: why was this allowed to happen?
