A year after her appearance on Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Amy Adams donned a deeply unfortunate fat suit to play freak of the week Jodi Melville on the 2001 Smallville episode "Craving." We're joined by entertainment writer Chancellor Agard to talk about Amy's first entry into the DC universe, and how this episode's early 2000s fatphobia could be a lot worse. Plus: Smallville's infamous sex cult, making tough choices in a pre-DVR world, and who deserves the blame for Brendan Fraser's Oscar.

December is TV Month at Chasing Amy Adams, and we're going back in time to Amy's early television roles, starting with Cousin Beth in the 2000 Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Family." We're joined by Slayerfest 98 host Ian Carlos Crawford to talk about Amy's unique connection to Sarah Michelle Gellar, and why this episode is anything but filler. Plus: plumbing the depths of UPN lore, the non-evil version of The Secret, and getting Hugh Jackman on TikTok.
