‘South Park’ Review: ‘Band In China’ Mocks Hollywood’s Addiction To Chinese Box Office


Small town death metal Comedy CentralMore sharp political satire from season 23 of South Park, as "Band In China" takes aim at China’s notoriously intolerant censorship laws, and the eagerness of corporations to cater to them. Last week saw Randy, in the relentless pursuit of profit, ruin the joy of home-grown intoxication for the rest of the town. As the script is continuously rewritten to fit the international market, Stan’s artist ‘tegrity begins to make him deeply uncomfortable. This episode certainly doesn’t hold back, highlighting the scale of China’s reported human rights abuses and questioning Hollywood’s growing dependance on overseas box office. This is South Park at its best; smart political satire, strong character development, and a healthy dose of the absurd.
