Episode 259 - Team America

Oz and Curtis are hopping in the jet, hopping on the strings, and blowing up historical landmarks in the name of liberty to break down Trey Parker and Matt Stone's uncompromising puppet extravaganza: Team America: World Police!When a high-tech anti-terrorist paramilitary force learns that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il is plotting a mass destruction scheme involving weapons of mass destruction, they realize they need the ultimate undercover operative. Enter Gary Johnston, a talented Broadway actor recruited to use his emotional range to infiltrate a terrorist cell. Together with his gun-toting, string-attached teammates, Gary must balance his dramatic craft with international warfare while taking on both brutal dictators and the pretentious celebrity activist elite of the Film Actors Guild.We break down the sheer technical madness and offensive brilliance of this comedic masterpiece: Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s painstaking use of classic Thunderbirds-style Supermarionation, the instantly iconic musical numbers ("America, F*** Yeah!"), the hysterical skewering of Jerry Bruckheimer blockbuster tropes, and the relentless political satire that spares absolutely nobody. Is Team America: World Police the peak of 2000s Satirical Comedy and an all-time Cult Classic, or just a movie that proves acting is the most dangerous weapon of all? Tune in for our full Team America: World Police 2004 movie review!"America, F*** Yeah!" — The anthem that defined an era of action movie parody.If you’re into analyzing offensive comedy perfection, appreciating the sheer logistical nightmare of filming a full-length marionette movie, or listening to two dudes who would definitely tangle their strings within five seconds of stepping on set, this episode is for you.To secure your content and protect global freedom, soar straight over to https://LetsTalkAboutFlix.com — where our takes are as loud as a jet engine and guaranteed to be an explosive listen.Follow the boys on social media:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/letstalkaboutflixInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/letstalkaboutflix/Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/talkaboutflix⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support the show: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/talkaboutflix⁠#moviepodcast #filmpodcast #comedypodcast #filmreview #moviereview
