Underdog with Ben Mekler (Chasing Amy Adams: Episode 15)

from Chasing Amy Adams · host Dane McDonald & Louis Peitzman

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.
