The Worst of All Possible Worlds

141 - Team America: World Police (feat. Stephen Stout)

Listen Later

Stephen Stout (Puffs) and the lads hop into their red, white, and blue helicopters and completely obliterate France as they cover Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s 2004 fraught satire of the War on Terror: Team America: World Police. Topics include Parker and Stone’s origins, the film’s overwhelming racism, and what a movie so steeped in the post-9/11 hysteria of the early 2000s means twenty years after its release.
