*Vulture's Best Comedy Book of 2023*From the author of Generation Friends, featuring brandnew interviews with Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, a surprising, incisive, and often hilarious book about the film that changed comedy, Anchorman.Its been nearly twenty years since Ron Burgundy burst into movie fans lives, reminding San Diego to stay classy while lampooning a time gone byalthough maybe not as far gone as we might think? In Kind of a Big Deal, comedy historian Saul Austerlitz tells the history of how Anchorman was developed, written, and cast, and how it launched the careers of future superstars like Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, and Paul Rudd, also setting the stage for a whole decade of comedy to come and influencing films like The 40YearOld Virgin, Talladega Nights, Knocked Up, Superbad, and so many more.But Kind of a Big Deal isnt only a celebration of Anchormanits also a cultural analysis of the films significance as a sly commentary on feminism, the media, fragile masculinity, 1970s nostalgia, and more. Featuring brandnew interviews with stars such as Will Ferrell, director Adam McKay, and other key players, the book includes insider commentary alongside updated popculture analysis. And it also shares surprising stories and facts: from the films original conception as a plane crash/cannibal comedy mashup to the surprising, reallife newscaster who inspired the character of Veronica.Overall, this is a celebration of a movie that millions lovebut its also an unsparing look back at what has and hasnt changed, since the 1970s and since 2004. Perfect for fans of the film and anyone who cares about comedy today, Kind of a Big Deal proves that the movie was, and is, exactly that.
