Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay are kind of a big deal as they sit at their news desks to discuss one of the most oft-quoted comedies of all-time, 'Anchorman.' Bombay escalates the episode quickly by telling an opening story involving hooking up with a coworker he most definitely should've stayed away from. Then the boys find themselves trapped in a glass box of emotion while talking about a film that basically shaped the comedic stylings for a generation of moviegoers and frat bros alike. Highly improvised, and somehow maintaining a PG-13 rating, this Adam McKay classic is bolstered by a never-better Will Ferrell, who is flanked by comedic acting geniuses such as Paul Rudd and Steve Carell. Among those titans, Christina Applegate's straight man performance as Veronica Corningstone is the jazz flute solo that brings the whole piece together. It's ludicrous, over the top, and the sort of thing that sticks with you well after it's over — both the movie and our episode. Make sure you check it out till the end cause 60% of the time it's great, all the time.
