South Park has done ‘to be continued’ and trilogies and tetralogies before. But this felt more like a serialized approach.

South Park of late has been spotty. It’s my favorite show in the way that Led Zeppelin is my favorite band.

Spoilers Ahead: This might be one of the finest Canadian-theme South Park episodes I’ve seen. Especially for a longtime fan of the series. Many of the jokes herein refer to past episodes. Take, for instance, queefs, the differences between buddy/guy/friend, and so on, so forth. But I think the most

After an unexpected week off, South Park returned with the conclusion to the trilogy that we didn’t even know existed. But that’s okay. I was actually excited to see the goth kids return. That’s when South Park is working, when they’re not over saturating side characters through the A plot. There’s only

I met comedian, Kumail Nanjiani and his wife, Emily V. Gordon, outside of the College Humor Live! Panel. Kumail and Emily are the hosts of the video game podcast, The Indoor Kids. You can also see Kumail on Franklin and Bash, Portlandia, Veep, and in the films Hell Baby and Kings of Summer. This spring, Kumail
