  • Delightful

    I’ve listened to both Dane and Louis on screendrafts and love their energy. I’m not , not, an Amy Adams fan, but I normally wouldn’t seek out a pod just about her work ( which is great), but I find this to be a fun listen to help get me through my work day . Such a delight!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hillbilly Elegy (with Joe Reid)
Q: Was Hillbilly Elegy a good career choice for Amy Adams in 2020? And with the benefit of hindsight, do we think it's a good career choice now?
The hosts generally view it as a poor career choice at the time and in hindsight, noting that Adams faced unusual negative criticism for the performance, while also acknowledging the broader production and political context that surrounded the film.
Vice (with Emily St. James)
Q: Was Vice a good career choice for Amy Adams in 2018?
All three speakers generally agree it was a sensible move to highlight a politically charged, high-profile role that showcased Adams's range, even if the project didn't deliver an outright Oscar win. They see it as a way to keep her in the spotlight and to push her into more complex, politically aware parts, despite mixed reviews.
Nocturnal Animals (with DeVaughn Taylor)
Q: Should Amy Adams have won an Oscar for Nocturnal Animals?
All hosts converge on a nuanced stance: the film itself didn't showcase Adams's best possible performance compared to rivals and the supporting work around her, and while she had a strong body of work that year (including Arrival), most agree the nomination/award would have been better placed for Arrival rather than Nocturnal Animals.
Nocturnal Animals (with DeVaughn Taylor)
Q: In hindsight, was Nocturnal Animals a good career choice for Amy Adams in 2016?
The panel largely agrees it made sense for Adams in 2016 as a bold, genre-crossing project, offering variety beyond her more standard ensemble work, though later reflection suggests it wasn't the strongest showcase for her at that particular moment; it did help cement her willingness to take risks even as the broader year featured Arrival as a high point.
Justice League (with Henry Gilbert)
Q: What did you think was the core issue with the Justice League as released, and how did it affect Amy Adams's Lois Lane?
The consensus is that the Whedon reshoots and tonal shifts undercut Lois Lane's role, making her more of a functional plot device than a fully realized journalist character, which diminished Adams's agency in the film.
