  • S. Harrison 1 Trash Or Treasure in the Works of Trey Parker and Matt Stone
    S. Harrison 1 Trash or Treasure in the Works of Trey Parker and Matt Stone: What’s the Difference, and Who Decides? On March 24, 2011, New York Times reporter Ben Brantley described The Book of Mormon as “the best musical of this century… Heaven on Broadway.” He praised the writers, producers, and actors for “achieving something like a miracle.” As if this weren’t enough, Brantley went on to describe the musical as “cathartic” and the characters as both “likeable and funny.” In an online video titled “Subversive, Satirical, and Sold Out” posted on June 10, 2012, 60 Minutes host Steve Kroft commends the musical, stating that tickets for The Book of Mormon were the most heartily sought and hardest to obtain on Broadway this past summer. Moreover, Kroft boasts of the creators’ “big heart” as the foundation of the musical’s success. To employ a simple Google search for The Book of Mormon – while oftentimes bringing up information on the actual book and its corresponding faith – is to call forth resounding reviews of praise from both professional and amateur critics. The performance is being described as witty and satirical, appealing to the vast majority of musical-goers. However, The Book of Mormon with its undeniable success calls forth questions and criticism prompted by the previous works of creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Parker and Stone are infamous for their roles as developers, producers of, and performers in South Park, a television show that, in the words of Kroft, “changed the face of cable television” with its lewd, scatological humor and sensitive (and correspondingly insensitive handling of) thematic elements.

  • WORST COOKS in AMERICA: CELEBRITY EDITION Contestant Bios (2018)
    Contact: Lauren Sklar Phone: 646-336-3745; Email: [email protected] WORST COOKS IN AMERICA: CELEBRITY EDITION Contestant Bios (2018) CATHERINE BACH Catherine Bach is a true American original. Kicking butt in short-shorts as Daisy Duke in the Dukes of Hazzard was the breakout role that made her a pop icon and sex symbol—and got those shorts into the Smithsonian. However, throughout her career, Catherine has proven her acting chops working alongside some of the best in the business: legends such as Robert Mitchum (African Skies), her mentor Burt Lancaster (The Midnight Man), Clint Eastwood (Thunderbolt and Lightfoot) and Burt Reynolds (Hustle, Cannonball Run II). Catherine has a unique focus and creative energy that enables her to see opportunities for success when it comes to character work and taking the banal to the extraordinary. It is thanks to Catherine’s own sense of style and imagination that Daisy Dukes are now part of the popular vernacular—her character was initially supposed to wear a poodle skirt, but Catherine asked the producers for a shot at creating the character’s wardrobe, with the idea of a more edgy look for an independent character. Catherine’s famous pin-up poster that she styled has outpaced other contemporary beauties and sold over 5 million copies. Catherine is not afraid of adventure and activism; while portraying the lead in African Skies, the first American show filmed in South Africa after Apartheid, she spearheaded the cause of preserving the endangered Black Rhinoceros and testified before U.S. Congress to protect them. She was instrumental in lobbying for the Black Rhino and Tiger Preservation act, which was passed in 1996.

  • December 3, 2004 the Opening Scene of Team America
    Originally Published on Kikizo.com - December 3, 2004 The opening scene of Team America: World Police , the latest ribald comic masterpiece from South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, is amongst the funniest vignettes ever filmed. As the team in question, a band of jingoistic gun-toting marionettes, duke it out on the streets of Paris with hilariously stereotyped, weapon of mass destruction wielding terrorists, they manage to accidentally level the Eiffel Tower, the Arch de Triumph, and the Louver, leaving the centre of the city a steaming pile of rubble. In ten frenetic minutes Parker and Stone manage to satirise not just soldier of fortune diplomacy, but the films bizarrely chosen medium, puppetry; so acerbically and astutely that the hardened critics at the showing I attended were almost literally in tears. While the film's remaining eigty-eight minutes don't posses quite the same distilled comic genius, they are undeniably entertaining. Ironically, just as the South Park boys have chosen to adopt what could be perceived as their most adolescent medium yet - puppetry - they've managed to attain a satirical poignancy more adult than anything they've previously produced. Which is not to say that Team America doesn't contain more than its share of perversely offensive humour. At times the movie ventures into territory at least as offensive as anything previous hit 'South Park: Bigger Longer & Uncut' dared to depict. Yet while South Park struggled to fill a feature length run time - recycling many of the TV series' staples, ultimately achieving little more than a mildly humorous extended episode; by contrast Team America manages to work as a coherent, entertaining film.

This thesis demonstrates how cult cauterizes ambiguity and functions as a framing agent for unpopular politics in popular culture. In tracking the flows and hesitations in the postwar period through the rise of the New Right and identity politics, this thesis shows how cult contains moving and malleable meanings that maneuver through everyday life. It is a slippery and slight subject that denies coherent categorization in definitional frames.
