Get teleported back to the late '90s as dirty language and sexually explicit jokes scared the country, and the world was shocked that South Park did a whole musical about it! Yes, we're covering the landmark film South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut as this month's premium podcast. Released just at the height of the show's first era of popularity, we reflect on how of its time this story is, the parts that are pretty dated today, as well as the music that's held up pretty well. It's easy, mmm...

Can he find out before this chronological menace sends everyone to their graves? And will Bender ever achieve hi...

1994 brought Disney their biggest hit to date with The Lion King, so when the direct-to-video train starting chugging along, a sequel was inevitable. And after suffering several delays, this follow-up finally surfaced in the form of The Lion King II: Simba's Pride. While Disney's DTV efforts were pretty uneven by the late 90s, this furry-friendly second installment received a lot more time and money to grow into something that could possibly approach the quality of the original. Though it doe...
