There was an interesting segment about Team America on WNYC's Morning Edition this morning. I am attaching the link so you can listen.

If the link doesn't work, you can find it at www.wnyc.org, click on Morning Edition (on the right side of the screen), and scroll down to the story.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't Marc Shaiman doing the score for this movie?

At some point in time South Park lost it's cutting edge humor. What used to be irrevrent satire on social issues gave way to the cheap, easy laugh over toilet humor and sex. I don't know if Parker and Stone lost the edge or just became lazy. I don't have much hope for this movie resurrecting the originality and wonderful satire of teh erlier days of SP. From what little I've seen (I haven't yet seen the entire movie) and what I hear in the media, this is going to be little more than an attempt at shock value rather than real humor.

Yes, iflit, Marc did say he was doing the score. I wonder what that is going to be like.

I thought Marc was doing the music as well, but as I posted earlier, he is not listed in the credits on imdb. Wassupwitdat?

"What used to be irrevrent satire on social issues gave way to the cheap, easy laugh over toilet humor and sex."

I agree
