THE FAMILY STONE: The Legendary Diane Keaton and How a Dysfunctional Family Became a Holiday TraditionIn our first new episode of the season, Producer Michael London takes us behind the scenes on beloved holiday film, The Family Stone. London goes through the film’s unlikely journey from a sharp, risky script (originally titled Fucking Hate Her) to a star-studded Christmas movie, including the pivotal push to cast A-list star Diane Keaton and the domino effect that followed. He shares behind-the-scenes stories about releasing the film at Christmas, the rare “family” atmosphere on set, and Keaton’s unforgettable presence as both onscreen and offscreen matriarch. The conversation builds to the story of the emotional test screening that convinced the studio to believe in the film despite shaky numbers, cementing it's future as a lasting audience favorite. About two decades later, London reflects on the movie’s evolution into a true holiday staple and offers a hopeful look into its future.
