Amy Adams and Emily Blunt appeared in one more movie together after Charlie Wilson's War. In the 2008 dramedy Sunshine Cleaning, Amy plays Rose Lorkowski, a single mom who decides to start a crime scene cleanup business. We're joined by comedian and StraightioLab co-host George Civeris to talk about Amy and Emily's sisterly bond, and how badly Sunshine Cleaning wants to be Little Miss Sunshine. Plus: Jennifer Aniston's depressing indies, gay dates at the Cheesecake Factory, and what we really mean when we talk about "Sundance slop."

Amy Adams wasn't going to turn down the opportunity to work with Mike Nichols, who cast her as executive administrative assistant Bonnie Bach (not a real person) in the 2007 biographical dramedy Charlie Wilson's War. We're joined by Hollywood-ography co-host Oriana Nudo to talk about Amy's mastery of the Aaron Sorkin walk-and-talk, and why this movie is overly generous to its central figure. Plus: how streaming ruined sleepover culture, nature documentaries lying to you, and the thrill of great ponytail acting.

In 2007, Amy Adams took on her first starring role as Disney Princess Giselle in the musical comedy Enchanted, and nothing was ever the same. We're joined by The Queer Quadrant hosts Brooke Solomon and Jordan Gustafson to talk about Amy beating out 300 other actresses for this role, and how sexism might have kept Enchanted from the awards recognition it deserved. Plus: defending the honor of New York City rats, Disney's exclusively gay moments, and why James Marsden is always getting cucked.

Years before she played Lois Lane, Amy Adams took on the role of a different superhero love interest in the 2007 comedy Underdog, where she voices a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Polly Purebred. We're joined by writer and director Ben Mekler to talk about Amy delivering the filthiest line of her career in a Disney movie, and why Underdog's missteps are Christopher Nolan's fault. Plus: the dauntingly expansive Air Bud universe, Jim Belushi's dog-centric career, and being the Amy Adams of the furry awards.

Amy Adams has a slightly bigger part (emphasis on slightly) in the 2006 comedy The Ex, where she plays crunchy granola mom Abby. We're joined by Hey, That's Me! And The George Lucas Talk Show co-host Patrick Cotnoir to talk about the star power that convinced Amy to take this role, and why the more offensive unrated cut might be a better movie. Plus: the dying art of commentary tracks, men who quote The Office on dating apps, and the homophobia of underutilizing Mia Farrow.

Given Amy Adams' low level of fame at the time, it's hard to even call her brief, wordless appearance in the 2006 musical comedy Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny a cameo—but that won't stop us from covering it. We're joined by Roger & Me and New Flesh host Brett Arnold to talk about how Amy ended up playing Gorgeous Woman, and why this movie had to bomb for the sake of the bit. Plus: the prank call soundboards that raised us, trying to make sense of straight culture, and Meat Loaf's thoughts on climate change.

Instead of following up Junebug with Oscar bait, Amy Adams returned to studio comedy in 2006's Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, where she plays Ricky's assistant-turned-love interest, Susan. We're joined by Emmy-winning reporter and Screen Rant host Ash Crossan to talk about Amy's iconic monologue, and whether or not this movie is funnier than Anchorman. Plus: Will Ferrell's kissing skills, the charm of aughts homophobia, and how the Netflix sheen is ruining comedies.

Amy Adams received her first of six Academy Award nominations for the 2005 dramedy Junebug, where she plays the very sweet (and very chatty) Ashley. We're joined by writer and This Had Oscar Buzz co-host Chris Feil to talk about how close Amy came to taking home the gold, and why movies like this don't get made anymore. Plus: running away from Mike Nichols, Ben McKenzie's second act as an anti-crypto crusader, and getting death threats over Letterboxd reviews.
