For Easter we look on the bright side of life with Monty Python's satirical masterpiece, "Life of Brian". Controversial and hilarious, the film uses Python's trademark silliness as a scalpel to slice open dogma and the perils of fame. We're joined by improviser Rich Baker, podcaster and magician Ned Record, and Reverend Sarah Heath (the "RevCovery" podcast, @revsarahheath) to worship at the Church of Briantology and celebrate the life of a man who's not the messiah. He's a very naughty boy.
To dive deeper into this films, the Pythons, and religion, consider watching The Great Life of Brian Debate: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUYhtJINiaY&t=4s)
