Keeping the Star Wars theme going for the month, decide to do one of their most ill-thought-out episodes yet. Ill-thought in the sense that they could be provoking one of the most volatile fan bases out there; Star Wars fans. In this episode, the boys run down the live-action theatrical released movies (yes, that means no Stars Wars Christmas Special, maybe next year) and rate them based on person...

Jesse has not watched South Park in over a decade, and long-time listeners know that Michael is a faithful fan. So he took Jesse's lack of watching as a personal offense. So Michael watched a decade's worth of south park multiple times to find the best episodes and reasons to get back into South Park. Was it worth it? Will Jesse start watching again? Sorry for the delay hectic weekend. Let...
