    18/03/2026 | 1h 55 mins.
    Whether by choice or contractual obligation, Amy Adams returned to the DCEU in the 2016 superhero movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, where she once again plays Lois Lane to Henry Cavill's Superman. We're joined by actor, writer, and Not Aspirational host Hannah Aaron Brown to talk about Amy's impressively committed press tour performance, and how this movie led directly to the infamous "Imagine" video. Plus: generalizing about Australians, the importance of waiting out trends, and giving Razzie Awards to war criminals.
