Every Red Dead 2 Reference in South Park
Never ones to shy away from a hot pop culture moment, the writers of South Park made Red Dead Redemption 2 the barrel end of the joke on both last week's episode, titled, "Time to Get Cereal" and then the part 2 follow-up this week, called "Nobody Got Cereal?"
These episodes are notable not just for Red Dead 2's inclusion, but also the return of Al Gore (who's become a bowler in the South Park universe since losing the 2000 presidential election) and ManBearPig, the exactly-what-it-sounds-like demon that Gore warned South Park about back in Season 10.

How Did Frank Underwood Die in Season 6 of House of Cards?
Warning! Full SPOILERS follow for the Season 6 finale of Netflix's House of Cards.
At the start of the final season of Netflix's House of Cards, there's a noticeable character missing, as Frank Underwood, the former fictional President of the United States, dies off-screen in what his wife Claire (Robin Wright) describes to the press as an accidental overdose (but reveals to the audience was murder).
All of the narrative upheavals are due to Kevin Spacey's off-screen behavior after multiple allegations of sexual misconduct surfaced, eventually leading to his removal from the series entirely while Season 6 was still in production. Despite Spacey's abrupt exit, the writers do give closure to Frank's story, which isn't revealed until the final minutes of episode 8, in a face-off featuring two of Frank's closest allies. Here's how it goes down.
