Have You Seen: Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979)

In "Have You Seen?" we discuss a movie that some of us know well and others have just now seen for the first time.This week we revisit Monty Python's Life of Brian, a 1979 biblical comedy movie directed by Terry Jones and starring John Cleese, Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin, about a young Judaean man who is born on the same day as Jesus, and is subsequently mistaken for the Messiah.We talk about our reactions to seeing the movie widely seen as the best comedy ever made for the first time in 2025, look back at why this movie was so controversial and widely banned when it came out and speculate how it might be received if it came out today, what parts of the humor worked for us and which didn't, how the movie's criticism of activism has been overshadowed by the criticism of religion when it actually takes up more time and is more biting and why that might be, and much more.Check out our other reviews and clips on all major platforms here:https://linktr.ee/EyeOfTheStormMoviePodcast
