A few months before Catch Me If You Can hit theaters, Amy Adams shared the screen with Martin Sheen in the 2002 Season 4 premiere of The West Wing, "20 Hours in America," where she plays a farmer's daughter named Cathy. We're joined by Screen Drafts host Clay Keller and entertainment writer Adam B. Vary to talk about Amy as a stand-in for Middle America, and all the ways this episode made us cry. Plus: the comfort of liberal cringe, when TV characters become family, and a walk and talk with the QAnon Shaman.
