Mike and Jim discuss South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut, the 1999 animated film based on the Comedy Central animated television series South Park, including how Jim forgot it's a musical, if it's still as funny 20 years later, how it's a self-parody of the controversy circling the television show concerning censorship and parenting, and how comedy without boundaries provokes discussion about taboo topics.
While Jim thinks it's m'kay, it's one of Mike's favorite movies and he will often break into song during this episode. You have been warned, uncle f*cker! (Oh, yeah, there's lots of profanity in this episode too).
