Filmwhys #61 Anchorman and Catwoman
The Why Haven’t You Seen This Film Podcast with guest Dave from Superhero Speak who asks me why I hadn’t seen the film Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, one of Will Farrell’s greatest comedies taking the air out of seventies network news. And in return, I ask him why he hadn’t seen Catwoman, which is the only superhero movie with a Black female as the lead hero… and also one of the worst superhero movies of all time with zero ties to Batman or any connection to the Catwoman from the comics.
