So the musical they where talking about in the last podcast, The Book of Mormon one. Can I get more info on it?
(An fyi, I’m Mormon)
How offensive is it, what’s the story line, etc. So far it kind of sounds like a offensive version of “The Best Two Years” which is a “Mormon” (LDS) movie that is about these guys on their mission, and it’s completely awesome.
If it’s anything like that, I want to see it a lot.
So give me info!
Thanks.
Ya know there’s this thing called Google for looking up stuff…
Considering it’s written by Matt Stone and Trey Parker, I would imagine it’s at least somewhat offensive. I’m guessing here, but one would assume that it would be not unlike the South Park episode ‘All About Mormons’, which I believe is considered one of the more offensive episodes.
Of course, I haven’t seen it and I’ll unlikely get the chance to, so I wouldn’t put to much stock in my wild ass guess.
I would love to see this but I haven’t heard any plans for it to play outside New York.
Trey and Matt were on The Daily Show a few weeks back and it was a great interview. IMO - Trey and Matt have proven their ability to satirize (Mormons) while at the same time conveying what is special about the LDS community.
Someone who took offence to their South Park episode would probably not enjoy this as much. If you have a sense of humor and appreciated that episode for what it is then I think it is a must see. (Just my opinion based on what I’ve heard)
Also, there are many great “Mormon” movies out there and “The Best Two Years” is an excellent one.
Saw that interview as well - Matt and Trey pretty much rock it.
And I agree wholeheartedly - if you havent seen the Mormon South Park episode - go for it…frakkin hilarious
I read a review of it (can’t find it right now) that said it wasn’t as much about Mormons as it sounds. That stuff is in there, but there’s loads of other stuff going on, too.
