CT JonesHOST
Is this just an audition? What kind of interested you about the role?
Christopher AbbottGUEST
Zoe Kazan, who wrote all of it, I've known her for years.
Christopher AbbottGUEST
We have a lot of mutual friends through like the New York theater world.
Christopher AbbottGUEST
So she called me and just asked me to do it.
IanHOST
So really, really interesting.
IanHOST
I think it's got Zoe Kazan in it, who was the girl in Ruby Sparks.
LiamHOST
Oh, okay.
IanHOST
Yeah.
IanHOST
So, yeah.
IanHOST
For a while, I was watching everything Zoe Kazan was doing.
IanHOST
So, yeah, I probably had love with her or something like that.
IanHOST
But she's married to the guy from Ruby Sparks, I believe.
Greg LynchCORRESPONDENT
I want to talk about a lady, a little lady.
Greg LynchCORRESPONDENT
Her name is Zoe Kazan.

And even more interesting, Kazan made her Broadway debut in the revival of the classic William Ng play, fabulous comeback Little Sheba in 2008.
Greg LynchCORRESPONDENT
And she has since acted in a revival of Anton Chekhov's The Seagull.
Greg LynchCORRESPONDENT
Now, if you haven't guessed, Mark, Zoe Kazan is the granddaughter of the famous film and theatre director, Elia Kazan.
Greg LynchCORRESPONDENT
And, of course, she, even though we are celebrity obituaries, she is alive and well.
Laura KarpmanGUEST
And then you have a classic score, okay? So you've got all of these things that you want to very, very much consider.
Laura KarpmanGUEST
And when I first started looking at East of Eden, talking about it with Zoe Kazan and Jeb Stewart, who's our other showrunner, I kept looking at Kathy and it was like, wait, am I supposed to think that she's bad? And these were very early cuts.
Laura KarpmanGUEST
I mean, I looked at something while they were still shooting.
Laura KarpmanGUEST
So very much, I think it was the suicide scene, actually.
Joseph DanceHOST
points, don't you think?
Amanda MoulsonHOST
Well, it's interesting the gaps that Zoe Kazan is filling.
Amanda MoulsonHOST
You're absolutely right about that.
Amanda MoulsonHOST
But she's also doing some very interesting things that are driving home, especially like some of Kathy's coldness to Adam, which I think she's handling very sensitively and very beautifully.
Neil GregoryHOST
And... you know poor girl but again all four of them they were like the four key cast in it and again so good and the soundtrack oh my god the soundtrack I discovered her
Claire Ellen HopeGUEST
in What If the Daniel Radcliffe Zoe Kazan rom-com I
Neil GregoryHOST
haven't seen that it's still on the list
Claire Ellen HopeGUEST
she and Adam Driver play their best friends in it and oh my god they steal the show I think it was the first thing other than girls I've seen Adam Driver in and it was the first thing I've seen Mackenzie Davis in I went because I adore Zoe Kazan and I like a good rom-com but oh my god they see they steal every scene they're in they are so good in it so I highly recommend for a silly little rom-com even if you're just there for Driver and Davis
Neil GregoryHOST
oh and the other thing she's in is Station Eleven which was a one and done HBO show that It had the worst timing of all time when it came out because it came out in the pandemic and it's just after the pandemic, sorry.
Neil GregoryHOST
And it was literally about a world going through a pandemic.
Stuart DryburghGUEST
You often don't really know how or why they decided to reach out to you, but they did.
Stuart DryburghGUEST
And she sent me the script that Zoe Kazan wrote for all seven episodes.
Stuart DryburghGUEST
I read it voraciously, pretty much in one sitting.
Stuart DryburghGUEST
And it's a terrific piece of writing.
SplingCORRESPONDENT
What happens when the girl of your dreams literally steps off the pages and into your living room? Ruby Sparks disguises itself as a quirky romantic comedy, but quickly veers into darker, sharper territory.
SplingCORRESPONDENT
Written by and starring Zoe Kazan alongside a brilliant Paul Dano, this indie gem subverts the manic pixie dream girl trope to expose the messy, controlling reality of modern love.
SplingCORRESPONDENT
It's an inventive, prickly, romance fantasy drama from the directors of Little Miss Sunshine and is well worth your time.
SplingCORRESPONDENT
It lands a solid 7.
Jake PoodleGUEST
I talked about it on our show, The Gaily Dose, that I wasn't going to talk about it or gush about it until I'd watched all of it.
Jake PoodleGUEST
And wow, wow, what a job that Zoe Kazan did.
Jake PoodleGUEST
Yes.
Jake PoodleGUEST
In writing that and adapting that.
Jake PoodleGUEST
And also the idea that Steinbeck wanted to get across that sometimes people are just bad.
Jake PoodleGUEST
And I even posited, I don't know if I...
Jake PoodleGUEST
But Zoe Kazan, I fully understand who Kathy is.
Jake PoodleGUEST
I know
Jordan RichHOST
The story is really one of sibling rivalry, a reimagination, if you will, of the biblical story of Cain and Abel.
Jordan RichHOST
Incidentally, the series has been adapted by Zoe Kazan, and yes, she's the granddaughter of the late Aliyah Kazan, who directed the 1955 film.
Jordan RichHOST
An adult story based on a classic novel worth checking out.
Jordan RichHOST
And that's now streaming with Jordan WBZ, Boston's News Radio.
