It began, like so many stupid journeys, with a stupid question: Why does the actor Amy Adams do so many bathing scenes? From the beginning, we suspected a conspiracy — Is Amy, who has never won an Oscar, doing all these bathtub scenes because they offer the opportunity for the kind of dramatic acting that earns the biggest, goldenest prizes?

So in 2021, two journalists — Brandon R. Reynolds and Gabby Lombardo — opened the tap on the secret history of bathtubs in cinema. We could not imagine what would come bubbling up.

In this episode, we begin reckoning with who Amy is — our personal history with her movies, yes, but also … how many bathtub and shower (and lake) scenes has she actually done? That data is just the first step in our investigation, and it will send us back to the very beginning of the movies.

"Why Is Amy in the Bath?" is produced by Grab Bag Collab and Because It's True Productions.

In 2021, two journalists started an investigation to answer what seemed like a simple question: Why does the actor Amy Adams do so many bathing scenes? From the beginning, we suspected a conspiracy — Is Amy, who has never won an Oscar, doing all these bathtub scenes because they offer the opportunity for the kind of dramatic acting that earns the biggest, goldest prizes? This is the story of how Brandon R. Reynolds and Gabby Lombardo opened the tap on the secret history of bathtubs in cinema. They could not imagine what would come bubbling up.

From Grab Bag Collab and Because It's True Productions, the 6-part series "Why Is Amy in the Bath?" looks at the deeper meaning of bathing across 1,500 films. We talk to the writers, actors, and set designers that bring bathing scenes to life onscreen, and the film wonks who will help us unpack the conspiracy. It takes us into some very weird places: wellness and Calgon commercials, hit thriller novels, consumer trends, sex in America, and the way nostalgia traps us in an endless now. Alternately a warm soak and a bracing blast of cold, "Why Is Amy in the Bath?" will leave us all a little cleaner in heart and mind.
