Podcast appearances and mentions of James A Woods

We begin this episode by acknowledging the passing of a truly incredible actress — one who played a pivotal role in the life and legacy of Woody Allen, among many others in Hollywood and beyond. Diane Keaton (1946–2025) will be deeply missed.     She passed away the very next day after we recorded this episode, and I (Don) actually found out during the editing phase. Soon after, James and I spoke about it briefly, and we'll be dedicating a few special episodes to Diane — the next one after this, for sure.     Until then, we send our warmest thoughts to the Keaton family as we remember and celebrate a wholly original, endlessly inspiring woman — an actress, mother, friend, and creative spirit unlike any other.     ______________________________________________________     On this episode of Woody Adjacent, we're taking on another Reddit request — and likely the last for a while since we've got a long list of adjacent films ahead!     French Girl (2024), starring Zach Braff, Evelyne Brochu, and Vanessa Hudgens, directed by James A. Woods and Nicolas Wright is our focus today.     It's a film that's divided audiences but also carved out an interesting little niche fanbase... it certainly gave us plenty to talk about!     James and I dig into whether it's a modern Meet the Parents, a Canadian Two Days in Paris, or something else entirely — and how its blend of sincerity and slapstick comedy tries to makes a case that love really is the most confusing language of all.   Was this case made for the film.... well... let's discuss!   Links Mentioned In This Episode__________________   Woody Allen Free Press Interview   https://youtu.be/xc9tEipzWUk?si=zFlYjWKnnfL3wExb     Diane Keaton - Remembering Diane Keaton By ET   https://youtu.be/n9M6Z8Xnmus?si=kwox6GVaTK6KM785     For full cast details, user reviews, and more background on the film, check out:

Determined to keep their love alive, Gordon leaves Brooklyn for her hometown, only to find himself hilariously out of his depth in attempting to charm her hard-to-impress, French-speaking family.This one was unexpectedly charming which is likely thanks to the somewhat fresh take that debut writer/directors James A Woods and Nicolas Wright took in telling this story.  It still has all the appropriate emotional moments without overtly leaning too hard into any expected story telling beats from the genre.We had the unique pleasure of sitting down with James and Nicholas in advance of the release to talk about the origins of the story, making Quebec City a character of its own, the distinct nature of Quebecois cinema and so very much more.
