SOUTH PARK - The Philosophy of Margaritaville! (2017x12)
Air date: May 06, 2017
Welcome to this Wisecrack Edition on the 2009 Emmy Award Winning South Park episode "Margaritaiville." We'll explore how, through clever religious allegory, South Park crafts a multi-layered critique on the nature of power structures in our contemporary economic climate. By playfully positing that economics functions as a cryptic religion in its own right, South Park brilliantly satirize the financial crisis of 2008 – and the way people responded.
