CHAHLEEN hive RISE UP

We're back to our regularly scheduled cinematic programming with The Fighter (streaming on Paramount+, if you wanna prep) next week. But ICYMI — we did a little New Year's resolution bonus episode (with a game!) that you can listen to here: podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/b...

I will be debuting my Boston accent. You have been warned.

Call me the fighter because I’ve had a beef with Melissa Leo for 15 fuckin’ years!

Grateful to everyone who listened to our podcast this year. Closing out 2025 with some wishes and a game!

In today’s special bonus episode, we’re sharing our 2026 New Year’s resolutions for Amy, and playing a surprisingly tricky game. Plus: the Bond villain glass ceiling, reclaiming dignity, and chasing Gal Gadot. 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/b...

A podcast reminder for the Sunday evening crowd! @chancelloragard.bsky.social joined us this week to breakdown Amy’s appearance on Smallville and her character’s diet of meteor-infected vegetables. 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

New in the Booster Club! The CKCCC Year Four Draft CKCCC counselors Clay and Ryan are joined by guest Cool Commissioner @danemcdonald.bsky.social to rank the Top 7 films from the last year of the Cool Kids Criterion Club Corner! www.patreon.com/posts/ckccc-...

I’ve had the West Wing theme song playing in my head since we recorded this. It does make me feel more important when I walk and talk, at least.

For episode 28, @screendrafts.bsky.social host @claykeller.bsky.social and entertainment writer @adambvary.bsky.social join us to talk about the 2002 The West Wing episode “20 Hours in America.” Walk and talk with us on 12/17!

Don’t worry, we talk about Clex slash and NXIVM.

Apologies for the nightmare fuel, but we've got to talk about the early aughts fat suit 😞 One of our DC correspondents, @chancelloragard.bsky.social, joined us this week to discuss the future Lois Lane's appearance in season one of Smallville. 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/s...

Today we’re talking about the 2001 Smallville episode “Craving” with special guest @chancelloragard.bsky.social. Plus: Amy’s deeply unfortunate fat suit, Smallville’s infamous sex cult, and assigning blame for Brendan Fraser’s Oscar. 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/s...

Got to chat with my friend Amber Benson about working with Amy for this fun little bonus episode of the pod!

Surprise! In today’s special bonus episode, Amber Benson joins us to talk about co-starring with Amy Adams in the 2000 Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Family.” Plus: Cousin Beth as proto-trad wife, network censorship, and floating lesbians. 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/b...

Hmm wonder what the surprise could be👀👀👀

It’s a good surprise, not a Season 2 episode 13 surprise.

Hey, Scoobies — we may or may not have a very fun, Buffy-centric surprise coming your way tomorrow 👀 But until then, catch up on our latest episode with @ianxcarlos.bsky.social of @slayerfestx98.bsky.social: podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/b...

Recorded this the same week we recorded our 25th anniversary episode on “Family” and I’m still not tired of talking about it - check out my recording with the lovely boys over at @chasingamyadams.bsky.social

This was a fun recording where I, once again, unfortunately, could not shut up

There was obviously only one way to start TV Month on Chasing Amy Adams.

Today we’re talking about the 2000 Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Family” with @ianxcarlos.bsky.social of @slayerfestx98.bsky.social. Plus: Amy’s unique connection to SMG, the non-evil version of The Secret, and plumbing the depths of UPN lore. 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

From left to right: Amy Adams as Charlotte Brown. Matthew Godbey as Cowboy Tom. Darren Le Gallo as Cowboy Jim. ICMYI: we covered Pennies (the short film) and Love & Distrust (the long... "film") on our latest episode with Harmony Sandoval. 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/l...

We’re taking a break from covering movies for December to spend some time with my first love, television. And we’re starting off with my favorite show!

TV Month kicks off next week! For episode 26, @slayerfestx98.bsky.social host @ianxcarlos.bsky.social joins us to talk about the 2000 Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode “Family.” Levitate with us at the Bronze on 12/3!

Today we’re thankful for — a) all our listeners b) the random celebrities that show up in Love & Distrust (including but not limited to Robert Pattinson, Robert Downey Jr., James Cameron, Allison Janney, and Sam Worthington) More on that in our latest episode: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Watching this movie was a descent into madness.

Today we’re talking about the 2010 anthology film Love & Distrust with special guest Harmony Sandoval. Plus: Amy’s familial obligations, seeing Remember Me on opening night, and Lorraine Bracco’s guerilla filmmaking. 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Leap Year may be a feckin’ slog but at least Amy and Matthew are pretty to look at 🍀 ICYMI: @rockmarooned.bsky.social joined us this week to discuss a movie he saw 🚨 opening weekend in theaters way back in 2010 🚨 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

If you don’t want to commit to finding and watching Love & Distrust, please do yourself the favor of watching the insane 25-minute Amy Adams short “Pennies.” It’s on YouTube with the really unfortunate typo “Pennis.”

For episode 25, artist and podcaster Harmony Sandoval joins us to talk about the 2010 anthology film Love & Distrust. Tune in on 11/26 to hear us try to make sense of our most unhinged “movie” yet!

Amy Adams deserves to lead her own classic romcom. But sadly, Leap Year is not that romcom. @rockmarooned.bsky.social joins us on our latest episode to break down what went wrong for this haphazard Irish travelogue with almost no romance and no comedy. 🎧: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...
