South Park vs Trump

South Park vs Trump

2025-07-2857:105

Is South Park the most important show in the world? Can Marina explain Roblox’s Grow a Garden to Richard? What makes Adam Sandler the most bankable actor in the world today? After South Park’s Trey Parker and Matt Stone signed a $1.5bn deal with Paramount, they kicked off their 27th season by taking aim at Donald Trump and Paramount themselves. Trump didn’t react well with the White House claiming the “show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years” yet could the show now be more relevant that ever? It targets the right, the left and the centre. It gets people talking. It is also worth in the eyes of Paramount that staggering sum of money. So, is South Park the most important show in the world right now? ‘Grow a Garden’ is storming Roblox - the online universe where anyone can create games - beating records held by the likes of Fortnight in the process. But what is it, and is the secret of its success its simplicity? With Happy Gilmore 2 streaming on Netflix now, Richard and Marina discuss if Adam Sandler is Hollywood’s biggest banker and why people underestimate his talent and appeal.

I was curious why an unknown chef styled 'Australian' was popping up on our tv channels halfway round the world from London, so Torode is an expat who made a name for himself in Britain & then trashed his career, does he imagine at his age he can resurrect it in Sydney?, I'd advise him to bite down, apologise & salvage his British career, we already have our own cooking/chef superstars, younger, brighter, more attuned to the modern world & with a different focus on food

A similar thing happened with MasterChef Australia... the show still runs fine without the original hosts.

lol Richard thinking podcasts aren't vulnerable to Ai. Youtube celebs and podcasters are done.

Marina talks a million miles an hour and barely stops to take a breath or take time to respond to Richard's interjections. My first time listening, a little exhausting initially. l

🤦‍♀️🤦🏼 forget it, this episode is just one very long advertisement for Sky TV, not worth your time ...

I enjoy this podcast and it is really interesting to hear about the entertainment industry from the inside. It does suffer from the same problem as many celebrity podcasts, in that the jokey banter between Marina & Richard is only funny to them, while the rest of us wait for them to get back to the subject!

PLEASE STOP talking over each other, you lose the thread of your thoughts and the thread of your debate, & hopping madly from topic to topic without resoving the subject/topic, so for heaven's sake please listen back to what your sending out and edit it, thank you

Used to be good, but has now become "who is right?" Richard has become more arrogant each episode, and I can feel this thinly veiled hate. Marina is ok though. I'm stopping now.
