  • An essential listen

    I began my listening to Chasing Amy Adams with a baseline respect for her as an actress, but Dane and Louis bring an enthusiasm for her work that is infectious, and a knowledge of not only her career, but of the industry at large around her. Essential for all movie lovers!

  • Amy Adams - Net Positive

    Amy Adams is an actor I like more often than not, but until I listened to this podcast I thought I would go to my grave remembering Amy Adams as Tara’s creepy relative on Buffy. I’m a fan of This Had Oscar Buzz and Screen Drafts so I decided to give this a chance and I’m glad I did. If nothing else this pod reminded me that I saw Catch Me If You Can, The Slaughter Rule, and Serving Sara at some point in the early 2000s

    I’ve been a fan of Louis since After Smash, and I’m a more recent fan of Dane via Screen Drafts, so this was an auto subscribe for me. I’m enjoying the deep dive in to Amy Adams’s filmography and re/watching along (at least some of them). The episodes are full of great guests too!

  • A new fave

    There are quite a few podcasts that examine the films of specific actors, and I’m glad there’s finally one focusing on the one and only Amy Adams. I’m already a fan of Louis (by way of BuzzFeed and This Had Oscar Buzz) so tuning in to this pod was a no-brainer. I like that this podcast covers her more obscure films along with the big Oscar ones. Dane and Louis also have great guests on. I’m looking forward to the inevitable episode on Sharp Objects! What a fascinating career to discuss.
