You’re going to have to clue me in because, based on a couple of samples, I hate Woody Allen movies and avoided them ever since.

“Sleeper” is Allen’s comedy about a man who is cryogenically frozen in 1973 and defrosted 200 years later. The following is a conversation between two Doctors examining their defrosted patient

Dr Melik: This morning for breakfast he requested something called “wheat germ, organic honey and tiger’s milk.”
Dr. Aragon: [chuckling] Oh, yes. Those are the charmed substances that some years ago were thought to contain life-preserving properties.
Dr. Melik: You mean there was no deep fat? No steak or cream pies or... hot fudge?
Dr. Aragon: Those were thought to be unhealthy... precisely the opposite of what we now know to be true.
Dr. Melik: Incredible

In ‘Sleeper’ WoodyAllen plays someone who comes back in the future.
Smoking a cigarette, he notes: “All the things we used to think were so unheathy ...”
