Woody Adjacent - Christian Slater, Robin Tunney - Julian Po (1997)

Back for another film discussion.. and this time we are diving back into the realm of lesser known films for what some consider to be a hidden gem and others a complete waste of time... lets see what we think aye?   ___________________________________________   In Julian Po (1997) Christian Slater portrays the title character, Julian, a depressed and directionless man who travels to a small, seemingly uneventful town.   Upon arrival, Julian rents a room at a boarding house. However, the townsfolk quickly become suspicious of him, initially viewing him as a potential criminal or con artist.   Things take an unexpected turn when Julian reveals possible suicidal intentions. Instead of the expected reaction, the townspeople become strangely fascinated and even sympathetic. They shower him with freebies and unsolicited advice, turning him into a local celebrity of sorts.   Enter Sarah (Robin Tunney), a beautiful and mysterious woman who claims she's been waiting her entire life for Julian. Her presence reignites a spark of life and hope within him, leading to a passionate connection, but hope may very well turn into tragedy as this small town runs wild with the celebrity and fanfare of their new visitor.   Please check the links below for full cast information and other interesting things about the film   Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Po   IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119429/   Rotten Tomatoes: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/julian_po   ____________________   A VERY Special Thanks to The Woody Allen Pages Website & The Woody Allen Subreddit for the continued support and info – check them out for the latest from the Woody Allen Fan Community!!   https://www.woodyallenpages.com     &    https://www.reddit.com/r/woodyallen   PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT TO THIS OR ANY OTHER EPISODE USING OUR COMMENT SECTION VIDEO LINK HERE   >>>>>>>  https://bit.ly/warpcom   IF YOU LIKE THE SHOW, PLEASE CONSIDER BUYING US A COFFEE / GIVING US A TIP VIA OUR PATREON CAMPAIGN  >>> https://www.patreon.com/woodyretro   Thanks for listening as always - we would also LOVE a review on iTunes or a 5 star rating via Spotify or whichever podcast platform you are listening on - please find all our connected links below.   >>>   https://linktr.ee/woodyretro
