Summary

Amy Adams completed her accidental vice president duology with the 2020 biopic Hillbilly Elegy, where she plays Bev, mother to future veep JD Vance. We're joined by This Had Oscar Buzz co-host Joe Reid to talk about the most cursed moment in Amy's filmography, and what we really mean when we call this movie Oscar bait. Plus: an all-Muppet Cabinet, Valerie Cherish's good wigs, and spoiling the Divergent series.
