Amy Adams addresses "Hillbilly Elegy" critics

"Hillbilly Elegy" has been one of the most popular movies on Netflix in recent weeks, but critics have tossed almost nothing but hatchets, creating what director Ron Howard called "the biggest differential" he's ever had "between critical consensus and audience approval ratings." Award-winning actress Amy Adams, who plays Beverly Vance in the film, talked with "CBS This Morning" co-host Tony Dokoupil about this gap and why the movie resonates with viewers.

Ron Howard on hybrid storytelling in "Mars"

Ron Howard grew up in front of America’s eyes first as the young Opie Taylor on "The Andy Griffith Show" and then as Richie Cunningham on "Happy Days" before jumping behind the camera to become one of Hollywood’s most prolific directors. Over the past 40 years, the Oscar-winner has helmed big films, including "Splash," "Cocoon," "Apollo 13," "A Beautiful Mind" and most recently "Solo: A Star Wars Story." Howard joins “CBS This Morning: Saturday” to discuss his latest project, the National Geographic series "Mars." Season 2 of the critically acclaimed show premieres a week from Monday.
