We were heartbroken at the news of Diane Keaton’s passing, so we decided to quickly get another of her films in the THOB books. Keaton’s final directorial effort was Hanging Up<\/em>, based on Delia Ephron’s fictionalized experience coping with distant sisters during the final years of their father’s life. Co-written by Delia and Nora Ephron, Meg Ryan took the lead with Keaton and Lisa Kudrow starring as the sisters and Walter Mathau as the aging father. Originally intended for a 1999 release, the film was received harshly by critics when it was ultimately released in 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This episode, we talk about the behind-the-scenes tensions that played out onscreen and the unfavored collaborations between the Ephron sisters. We also talk about our favorite Keaton performances, Kudrow’s critical success with The Opposite of Sex<\/em>, and Lisa Schwarzbaum F score reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Topics also include Diet Coke commercials, Everything is Copy<\/em>, and Keaton tributes.<\/p>\n
