We’re taking a break from our normally scheduled podcast for a very special episode. In remembrance of director Terry Jones, who passed away just before this recording, we watched his all-time comedy classic, Monty Python’s Life of Brian. And yeah, a lot of our so-called “review” is us just poorly reenacting our favorite jokes, but such is the group’s legacy for dorks like us. But we also get deep into a conversation about religious controversy in film, the merits and faults of a persistent impulse to judge whether classic comedy “holds up” in our modern culture, bad jokes, good jokes, and good/bad jokes.
If you’d like to watch ahead for next week’s film, we will (for reals this time) be reviewing and discussing Jean-Luc Godard’s Made In U.S.A. (1966.)
