Amy Adams was one of two actresses to play Amelia Earhart onscreen in 2009, but the fantasy comedy Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian is almost certainly the better remembered film. We're joined by writer and comedian Demi Adejuyigbe to talk about Amy donning tight jodhpurs to play a screwball heroine, and this movie's tortured internal logic. Plus: questioning the integrity of the Teen Choice Awards, Crystal the Monkey's impressive filmography, and imagining the Katharine Hepburn action movie era we were denied.

Amy Adams earned her second Academy Award nomination for the 2008 drama Doubt, where she plays kindhearted nun Sister James in John Patrick Shanley's adaptation of his Pulitzer Prize-winning play. We're joined by producer and Maximum Film co-host Drea Clark to talk about Amy and Viola Davis going head-to-head in the same category, and how this movie embraces the horror of Dutch angles. Plus: spicing up communion wafers, the moment Amy became offer-only, and Kirk Douglas shilling for Casa Zeta-Jones.

Amy Adams is something of a co-lead alongside Frances McDormand in the 2008 romantic comedy Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, where she plays flighty American actress Delysia Lafosse. We're joined by writer and podcaster Cody Dericks to talk about Amy juggling three very handsome men, and why British critics were so sour on this London-set period piece. Plus: our Lee Pace crush origin stories, accidentally buying straight guy sheets, and the most heartbreaking moment in the Katy Perry documentary.

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.
