Air date: Feb 03, 2025

Since the debut of South Park, Matt Stone and Trey Parker have mastered the art of satire across TV, film, and even Broadway. From South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut to The Book of Mormon, everything they touch seems to turn to gold. But when they decided to take on puppetry with Team America: World Police, their signature fast-paced production pipeline came to a screeching halt. The process behind Team America World Police was such a disaster that the film nearly didn’t get finished. Despite the challenges, they pulled it off—creating one of the biggest cult classics in comedy history.
