Considering it’s the “South Park” guys, this is a surprisingly sweet look into nostalgia and childhood rose colored glasses meets adulthood reality. Have to applaud the dedication to a passion project. Next time I’m on my way through Colorado, I know one of the stops I need to make…

These special events are hitting too close to home lately. “Navigating the American Healthcare System” is enough to leave anyone who’s had to do it in real life in the fetal position. Your typical “South Park” shenanigans, a solid Randy Marsh side quest, and an uncomfortable look in the mirror at the world we live in that you’re less sure you’re supposed to laugh instead of be concerned about with each passing season.

Since there’s no official trailer for this one, may my videos from Comerica Park Summer 2022 make do.
You may think this one is a little low, and you’d be right. As a TV special, it’s exactly what you expect. You can’t go wrong with Billy Joel in concert. But it’s NOTHING compared to seeing him LIVE. There’s nothing like it, and no TV special can truly capture that magic. So pull up a chair and a bottle of red (or white), and enjoy the master at work…

A Randy Marsh subplot? Count me in!
Definitely not suitable for children, with so little “safe for work” content that it couldn’t have a full-length trailer… but dead on in its satire, as always. From the energy drink craze to OnlyFans to their collision in a collusion between the deep state and societal puppet masters vying for control of our minds… It’s exactly what you want out of a South Park special event.
