'South Park' Vs. 'Family Guy': 5 Times 'South Park' Went Too Far (& 5 Times 'Family Guy' Did). Top Story - December 2019.
There's no denying the battle for the thorny crown forged from crude jokes and exploitable boundaries is still up for grabs. That's something we've been watching both South Park and Family Guy fight over for just shy of twenty years now. That's pretty impressive considering both iconic shows have, at times, pushed the boat out so far as to turn one too many heads and begin to question their careless propaganda. But, that being said, fans have enjoyed many years of watching the two factions hash it out over who gets the most despicable material past the boards.

Netflix and Chill or Disney+ and !@$%
On November 12th, Disney will launch their exclusive streaming service Disney Plus, firing the first salvo in what will become one of the bloodiest most brutal competitions in the world of media and entertainment. They will begin the great streaming wars. Netflix has evolved from a cute little niche DVD rental service into a tech behemoth completely reshaping the way the world consumes entertainment. With over 151 million subscribers worldwide, Netflix has become a digital buffet trying to cater towards every niche taste imaginable and racking up tremendous amounts of debt to continue to feed their audiences endless appetite for content, with some estimating the amount of debt to be as high as 20 billion dollars to make sure you're stocked with new seasons of Stranger Things.

Broadway Musical: 'Anastasia Journey to the Past', Fact or Fiction?
The Broadway Musical Anastasia Journey to the Past is based upon the conspiracy that the youngest daughter of the Romanov family Grand Duchess Anastasia Romanov had survived execution and Anna Anderson’s claim is she was the lost princess. The musical moderately depicts the political and social climate of the Russian Revolution. The lifestyle Russian citizens experienced during 1927 under communist rule is exemplified through songs, such as "A Rumour in Saint Petersburg", and the influence that the rumour of Anastasia's survival cast upon society. The eradication of the aristocratic Russia is explored through lyrics of the exiled aristocrats and their perspective of the rise of communism. Bolshevik General Gleb Vaganov, the antagonist, represents the communistic perspective and the influence Bolshevik ruling had on society.

'The Young Man from Atlanta'
Robert Massimi. In what is Horton Foote's second attempt at making The Young Man from Atlanta a success in New York, The Signature Theater opened this show Saturday evening in the hopes of greater success. The first version of this show, even though it won the 1995 Pulitzer Prize for drama, wasn't quite what it needed to be. Not until two years later, by which time it had been rewritten and recast, did The Young Man from Atlanta finally move from off Broadway to Broadway. Even then, it failed to have a long run. Foote's studies of Southern family life never had gone over big on Broadway. With Foote's A Trip to Bountiful, audiences began to realize his work was different and not as forward leaning in his plot structure.

Funny?
I’ve had to see a lot of live comedy this past year because it’s what my boyfriend does for a living, and, although I knew the experience could be an excruciating one, I’ve seen things that could make Pollyanna cut her own throat.
