Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny with Brett Arnold (Chasing Amy Adams: Episode 13)

from Chasing Amy Adams · host Dane McDonald & Louis Peitzman

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.
