History will judge Trey Parker and Matt Stone as the greatest cultural arbiters of our era. The scorched-earth satire of South Park is a gift, but let’s not forget that they also blessed us with some of the most mindlessly amazing (and thought-provoking) screwball comedies of the past 30 years.
Released in 1997, Orgazmo is the story of Joe Young (Parker), a naive young Mormon who takes a job in porn to pay for his wedding. As Captain Orgazmo, he doles out mind-melting orgasms with his trusty Orgazmorator (a ray gun built by his faithful sidekick, ChodaBoy). Things inevitably spiral out of control, and raunchy hilarity ensues. Criterion, add this to your collection now or face our wrath.
When it comes to film appreciation, no one nerds out harder than our good friends Hollywood Horror Museum. We asked them for the lowdown on this lowbrow classic, and true to form, they did not disappoint.
