The Devil Wears Sponcon

In The Devil Wears Prada 2, we catch up with Andy Sachs (Anne Hathaway) while she’s on her way to the podium to accept an award for her work as an investigative journalist at a respected print magazine. It’s a gig she’s apparently been killing since lobbing her cellphone into the Fontaines de la Concorde at the conclusion of the 2006 original, a gesture signaling her emancipation from her Horrible Boss Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep). Now Andy’s iPhone is blowing up, but not with messages of congratulations. Rather, it’s a notification that she’s been fired, along with the rest of her lead-chasing, beer-swilling, word-slinging colleagues at the New York Vanguard. Apparently, the publication’s new ownership has found a way to put a price on journalistic excellence; they just refuse to pay it.
