'South Park' spoofs Trump's DC crackdown in new clip: Watch
"South Park" is keeping its focus on President Donald Trump. The Comedy Central series has released a preview for its next episode, indicating the show will spoof Trump's law enforcement crackdown in Washington, D.C. The clip shows the recurring character Towelie, a talking towel who originated in a 2001 episode, arriving on a bus to the nation's capital, only to find it's swarming with troops and military tanks. "This seems like the perfect place for a towel," he says as a tank passes by the street outside of the White House. Earlier this month, Trump deployed hundreds of National Guard troops to Washington, D.C., in what he described as a crackdown on rampant crime. Mayor Muriel Bowser has pushed back on Trump's claims, saying that the capital is "not experiencing a crime spike." The "South Park" episode, which is set to air on Wednesday, Aug. 20, is titled "Sickofancy," and the synopsis simply reads, "Towelie goes to Washington, D.C." The show has recently been nabbing strong ratings and drawing heat from the White House, with a season that has featured unusually pointed criticism of Trump and his administration. After uproar, 'South Park' pummels Trump again and hits at JD Vance, Kristi Noem It started in the Season 27 premiere, "Sermon on the 'Mount," which depicted Trump as a thin-skinned bully who is the lover of Satan. The episode also mocked Trump by showing a live-action version of him removing all of his clothes as part of a public service announcement. JD Vance reacts to brutal parody in latest 'South Park' episode White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers slammed "South Park" in a statement provided to USA TODAY on July 24, saying the show "hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention." But the show doubled down in the following episode, "Got a Nut," which featured more Trump jokes. The president was again shown as Satan's lover and, as part of a spoof of the ABC series "Fantasy Island," was depicted physically and verbally abusing Vice President JD Vance. Vance issued a succinct response to his depiction, writing on X, "Well, I've finally made it." The episode "Got a Nut" additionally spoofed Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, showing her repeatedly shooting dogs. It also mocked her appearance by having her face slide off and move around by itself like a horror film. Noem fired back on "The Glenn Beck Program" podcast on Aug. 7, saying that "it's so lazy to make fun of women for how they look." Contributing: Cybele Mayes-Osterman, Phillip M.

One of my favorite comedies of the last 5 years is leaving Prime Video very soon — here's your last day to stream it
If you like your comedy movies with an R-rated edge, with a dash of violence, or just flat-out absurd, then you owe it to yourself to stream "Bottoms." And if you've had this 2023 watch sitting on your Prime Video watchlist for a while, you'll need to bump it up the list, as it's leaving the Amazon streamer in just a few days' time. Directed by Emma Seligman ("Shiva Baby") and co-written with "Bodies Bodies Bodies" star Rachel Sennott, "Bottoms" is a raunchy high school comedy that's never failed to have me in stitches every time I've watched it. At the time of writing, we know that "Bottoms" is due to leave the streaming service in just 7 days, meaning your last day to watch "Bottoms" on Prime Video is Wednesday, August 27, 2025. If you've never seen this wild 2023 comedy before, you should change that before it finds a new streaming home. You can find some more info about "Bottoms" below. Editor's Note: 'Bottoms' is rated R for sexual content, pervasive language and some violence MGM bills "Bottoms" as a "refreshingly unique" comedy about PJ (Rachel Sennott) and Josie (Ayo Edebiri), a pair of unpopular seniors at Rockbridge Falls High School who dream up a bizarre plan to try and hook up with some cheerleaders: launch a girls-only fight club. Run under the supervision of Mr. G (Marshawn Lynch), the club proves to be a hit, and before long, PJ and Josie are duking it out with some of the most popular girls in school under the guise of "self-defense"... but when their scheme looks to be exposed, PJ and Josie soon find themselves in way over their heads. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. "Bottoms" also stars Havana Rose Liu, Kaia Gerber, Ruby Cruz, Miles Fowler, Nicholas Galitzine, Punkie Johnson and Dagmara Domińczyk. "Bottoms" is an R-rated high school comedy with a violent streak: think "Booksmart," but sillier, and with an extra dash of "Fight Club." It's also a movie that I can sum up in just a couple of words: outrageous, unpredictable, and side-splittingly funny. It's a knowingly silly set-up, and "Bottoms" makes the most of its daft premise, spiralling out into a chaotic (and surprisingly bloody) send-up of high school comedy tropes. "Bottoms" is a blast, a ride that serves up excellent performances across the board, plenty of laughs, and brawls that pack a serious punch. If you don't get on with raunchy comedy or aren't in the mood for a punch-up, then "Bottoms" probably won't be for you. But if you love wild comedy, this over-the-top watch belongs on your radar: it's worth seeing for the glorious final act alone. Need a second opinion? Critics heaped praise on "Bottoms," too. At the time of writing, it's 91% on review aggregator, Rotten Tomatoes, with a consensus that reads: "Propulsive and over-the-top, "Bottoms" is an instant high school comedy classic that feels both current and nostalgic." For example, Empire's Sophie Butcher called "Bottoms" "wonderfully daft" in her 4-star review, writing: "An incredibly silly, sapphic, gloriously weird high-school satire. "Bottoms'" ultra-knowing tone might be a struggle for some — but it's hilariously rewarding." Reviewing for Variety, Owen Gleiberman summed it up as "unlike any high-school comedy you've ever seen", praising it as a "confident and audacious piece of work" and "a movie of outrageously forward-looking talent," even if he also concedes it "won't be for everyone." Finally, there's Monica Castillo's 3.5/4-star review for wherein Castillo calls "Bottoms" "an unhinged comedy like few others," labelling it: "fun and silly in all its chaos." Bottom line: if you like out-there, absurd comedy, you ought to stream "Bottoms" on Prime Video before it disappears: you won't be disappointed. Raunchy comedy not your thing, or already watched "Bottoms" recently? Prime Video's got plenty more great streaming options; check out our round-up of the best movies on Prime Video for tons more recommendations fit for your next movie night.

Fallout season 2 teaser trailer: 5 biggest takeaways from Prime Video show
During Gamescom 2025, Prime Video revealed the first teaser trailer for Fallout season 2. Based on the popular video game franchise, Fallout became a hit for Prime Video, amassing more than 100 million viewers worldwide. Fallout season 2 premieres later this year, and the footage features the return of Ella Purnell as Lucy MacLean and Walton Goggins as The Ghoul. Here are the five biggest takeaways from the teaser trailer. Welcome to New Vegas Lucy and the Ghoul journey across the Mojave Desert to the post-apocalyptic city of New Vegas, reconstructed from the ruins of Las Vegas. Video game players will recognize the location from the franchise's fourth entry, Fallout: New Vegas. Recommended Videos Lucy is interested in New Vegas because her father, Hank MacLean (Kyle MacLachlan), fled there at the end of season 1. Lucy knows that Hank, a Vault-Tec executive, played a role in facilitating the nuclear apocalypse. Hank later bombed Shady Sands, which turned her mother into a ghoul. The teaser also shows Lucy will eventually cross paths with Maximus (Aaron Moten), a member of the Brotherhood of Steel. Meet Robert House In a flashback, Cooper Howard (Goggins), the Ghoul's former self, confronts Robert House, played by Justin Theroux. As the ruler of New Vegas, Mr. House convinced other corporate leaders to drop a nuclear bomb to ensure Vault-Tec reaped the profits. The footage suggests that House will explain the origins of the Great War. The scene in the teaser shows House sitting in front of several screens as he converses with Howard. 'I am the very best at what I do,' House tells Howard. 'And what I do is I know everything.' House is one of the most notorious villains in the Fallout franchise. The Ghoul's backstory In the flashback, House tells Howard, 'My concern is that you would do just about anything to save your family.' Before becoming the Ghoul, Howard was a Hollywood actor and Vault-Tec ambassador with a wife, Barb Howard (Frances Turner), and daughter, Janey (Teagan Meredith). Howard thought he had lost his family in the Great War. However, Barb was a Vault-Tec executive, meaning she could have had access to a Vault. In the present day, the Ghoul continues his search for Barb and Janey. He hopes to find his answers in New Vegas. First look at a Deathclaw At the end of the teaser, Lucy and the Ghoul come face to face with a Deathclaw, one of Fallout's most horrifying creatures. Deathclaws are a race of genetically engineered reptilian creatures that transform into apex predators in the wake of the Great War. Deathclaws originated in experiments run by the government to create new, non-human super soldiers. When a Deathclaw growls at the duo, Lucy turns to the Ghoul and says, 'I defer to you about what to do in this situation.' The Ghoul immediately runs away, with Lucy right behind as they sprint to safety. Fallout season 2 release date revealed The end of the teaser revealed a release date of December 17, 2025. Fallout is implementing a weekly release schedule, a significant change from season 1's rollout. All eight episodes in season 1 were released on April 10, 2024. Season 2 premieres in December and will release one episode weekly until the season finale on February 4, 2026. Watch Fallout on Prime Video.
