Is South Park the most important show in the world? Can Marina explain Roblox’s Grow a Garden to Richard? What makes Adam Sandler the most bankable actor in the world today? After South Park’s Trey Parker and Matt Stone signed a $1.5bn deal with Paramount, they kicked off their 27th season by taking aim at Donald Trump and Paramount themselves. Trump didn’t react well with the White House claiming the “show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years” yet could the show now be more relevant that ever? It targets the right, the left and the centre. It gets people talking. It is also worth in the eyes of Paramount that staggering sum of money. So, is South Park the most important show in the world right now? ‘Grow a Garden’ is storming Roblox - the online universe where anyone can create games - beating records held by the likes of Fortnight in the process. But what is it, and is the secret of its success its simplicity? With Happy Gilmore 2 streaming on Netflix now, Richard and Marina discuss if Adam Sandler is Hollywood’s biggest banker and why people underestimate his talent and appeal.
