Team America: World Police

America! Fuck yeah!

I am ashamed to learn that I have never posted about the movie Team America: World Police (2004), from Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of South Park. I apologize.

If you like or love South Park, if you don’t like or love South Park, if you never see an episode or another episode of South Park, find this movie and watch it. Timely in 2004 and at many moments since, it is even more timely today.

Absurdly funny, indiscriminately cruel, and mercilessly true. Nothing is to everyone’s tastes. But if you see reviews or comments questioning the qualities of this movie, ignore them until you’ve seen it for yourself. Because under the current circumstances, or under the circumstances of 2004, or before that or after now, this is the ultimate puppet analysis of modern American geopolitics.

Once you see it, you’ll never forget it. As we occupy Venezuela, or Iran, or…Greenland?

It is not currently streaming for free. Pay for it if you have to. Meanwhile, following are a trailer and some clips to entertain and inform you.

America! Fuck yeah!
