Cultural Event 4 - Anchorman 2

During this semester, I attended a long anticipated showing of Anchorman 2, a sequel to Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (one of my all time favorite movies!).  This cult classic has remained an underground favorite among comedy buffs for years.  Anchorman also takes a firm place in the roots of today's pop culture.

Nearly 9 years after the original film, Anchorman 2 finally came to theaters.  Rumors of a failed sequel existed many years ago.  After the initial sequel failed to be completed, many fans didn't give much more hope or thought to another being filmed.  Much to the surprise of dedicated fans, Anchorman 2 was released December 18, 2013.

At the time the first Anchorman was released, it was unlike any other comedy I had seen.  Most of the dialogue breeding a new brand of nonsensical, irreverent humor that has become the norm in many films since.  I was excited to see that new ideas were brought to the table with Anchorman 2 rather than disappointing fans with basically the same movie as the original.  Getting the chance to watch the sequel to one of my favorite cult classics was a blast.  The movie exceeded my expectations.
