WTF Happened to James Woods?

It’s sad to think that most younger movie fans only know James Woods from his combative, controversial Twitter presence. In a lot of ways, he’s become a poster guy for the division between the right and left in Hollywood, with some saying he’s been blacklisted. No matter what people think of him now, James Woods was one of the best character actors at his peak in the eighties and nineties. He’s starred in a whole slew of classic films, all of which deserve to stand the test of time, no matter what folks think of him. There’s David Cronenberg’s Videodrome, Sergio Leone’s Once Upon a Time in America, Oliver Stone’s Salvador (and Any Given Sunday), John Carpenter’s Vampire, John Badham’s The Hard Way, and so many more. Between his classics, there were hidden gems like The Boost (which was marred by Woods’ infamous feud with co-star Sean Young) and some of his TV work like My Name is Bill W and more. Plus, there’s the fact that Woods, initially, always had a sense of humour about himself, famously guesting on The Simpsons and then Family Guy, all of which begs the question, can you separate the art from the artist?
In this episode of WTF Happened to this Celebrity, which is written by Brad Hamerly, and edited, produced and narrated by Taylor James Johnson, we take a look at Woods’ career and legacy. Do you think Woods’ legacy is intact? Let us know in the comments!

It's the disingenuous pandering to popular social movements so they can remain in the public's good graces. That's capitalism, friend. However, conservatives have mythologized capitalism to the point that any criticism of its inequities is implicitly un-american and what "communists" do. Therefore the only way to rationalize this cognitive dissonance is to find another more nefarious explanation; this must be the fault of political opposition. And the conspiracy relies on half-truths and general disenfranchisement to propagate itself. The thing is, that narrative just doesn't reflect the goals of either party and it falls flat on its face.
