Bob and Brad step into a glass case of emotion for this week's review of Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, the 2004 absurdist comedy that made Will Ferrell a household name. Does it hold up 20 years later?
Then, the guys shift gears from Baxter and jazz flute to the whiskey of the week: Benchmark Old No. 8, a bottom-shelf bourbon that surprises in more ways than one. Can a budget bottle deliver real flavor, or is it destined for mixing duty only?
It’s a week full of polyester suits, ego-fueled newscasts, and a bourbon that costs less than your movie ticket.
Stay classy, listeners.
