About this listen

Amy Adams officially ended her princess era in 2010's sports drama The Fighter, where she earned her third Academy Award nomination for playing Charlene, Micky Ward's fiercely loyal and foul-mouthed girlfriend. We're joined by Tribune News Service film critic Katie Walsh to talk about Amy working hard to break type, and why this movie is less conventional than it's given credit for. Plus: when bad people are good actors, Christian Bale's unconventional diet tips, and considering Melissa Leo's impact on the Marty Supreme Oscar campaign.
