From its humble beginnings as a cardboard-cutout Christmas card to its status as one of the longest-running animated series in history, South Park has never played by the rules.

You’ll hear the truth about the Scientology episode that got an actor to quit, and how the show predicted the future more times than it should have.

Whether you’re a longtime fan or just curious about how four foul-mouthed kids became a cultural phenomenon, this episode is packed with behind-the-scenes insights, network clashes, and unexpected creative brilliance.

In this episode of 20 Things You Didn't Know About, we dive into the electrifying legacy of Purple Rain — not just the iconic 1984 album, but the cult-classic film that catapulted Prince into rock and roll legend status.

Whether you're a lifelong Prince fan or a newcomer to the Minneapolis sound, this episode is packed with cinematic secrets, musical evolution, and genre-defying facts that will make you see Purple Rain in a whole new light.

We have to go back...
In this episode of 20 Things You Didn’t Know About, we open the hatch on one of the most mind-bending shows in television history: LOST.

But behind the jungle mysteries and Dharma stations are stories even wilder than what aired.
