Kind of a Big Deal: How Anchorman Stayed Classy and Became the Most Iconic Comedy of the Twenty-Firs

From the author of Generation Friends, featuring brand-new interviews with Will Ferrell and Adam McKay, a surprising, incisive, and often hilarious book about the film that changed comedy, Anchorman. It's been nearly twenty years since Ron Burgundy burst into movie fans' lives, reminding San Diego to "stay classy" while lampooning a time gone by-although 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 40-Year-Old Virgin, Talladega Nights, Knocked Up, Superbad, and so many more. But Kind of a Big Deal isn't only a celebration of Anchorman-it's also a cultural analysis of the film's significance as a sly commentary on feminism, the media, fragile masculinity, 1970s nostalgia, and more. Featuring brand-new interviews with stars such as Will Ferrell, director Adam McKay, and other key players, the book includes insider commentary alongside updated pop-culture analysis. And it also shares surprising stories and facts: from the film's original conception as a plane crash/cannibal comedy mashup to the surprising, real-life newscaster who inspired the character of Veronica. Overall, this is a celebration of a movie that millions love-but it's also an unsparing look back at what has and hasn't 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.

Dead End the Musical

'Dead End the Musical” is a powerful and entertaining adaptation of “Dead End,” Sidney Kingsley’s landmark 1935 stage production. Like Kingsley’s play, “Dead End the Musical' shines a light on the social ills of a time and place that still resonate today: poverty, crime, class struggle, and economic and social inequality. It is also a story about justice and redemption, love and desire, hopes and dreams. This concept album has a cast of 16 including the Dead End Kids, featuring twenty musical numbers, fully orchestrated, including overture, with sound effects and musical underscoring. “Dead End the Musical' is a gritty, realistic story of a young woman seeking a better life for her and her teenage brother, an out of work architect envisioning a better world, a kept woman who clings to a rich man lest she slip back into poverty, and a wanted gangster returning to recapture the innocence of his childhood. All the while, a group of rich folks literally look down on this neighborhood from their adjacent luxury tower, as the neighborhood “Dead End Kids” provide the antics and fleeting escapist innocence. “Dead End” the play, subsequently made into an Academy award nominated film starring Humphrey Bogart, Claire Trevor, Joel McCrea, and Sylvia Sidney, was also the genesis for the iconic Dead End Kids. “Dead End the Musical” is the third concept audiobook musical album from the award winning songwriting team of Neil Fishman and Harvey Edelman whose previous two albums garnered numerous Audie and SOVAS awards. Teamed with Peter C. Palame, with whom they created the wildly entertaining Off-Broadway show, 'On The Air,' the trio have created a musical set in the 1930’s that is meant for our times. *Note: Contains some scatological language that some people may find offensive, as well as some subtle but adult situations. Not recommended for young children. ©2022 Sammy Smile Music LLC. Dead End play ©1935 by Sidney Kingsley
