Monty Python's: The Life of Brian (1979) - Movie Review - Episode 265

Happy Easter...Passover...or just day that happens to end in "Y".  This week, we are celebrating one of the hallmark films of the 1970's that can be credited with birthing a great deal of the comedy that we all take for granted.  1979's Life of Brian is a brilliant satire that pokes fun at everything from the concept of religion to the tenets of politics.  For it's time, the film was attacked by religious groups and even banned in the UK (a genuine Video Nasty).  But has retained a status as an influentential piece of satire that has gone on to be referenced in everything from South Park to Family Guy.   Fair Warning:  We do go deep into frank discussions about religion and politics, as they are major themes within the film.   DISCORD!!!  Take the conversation further!  Come check out our Discord channel where we you can interact face to face (digitally) with us.  Like our opinion or hate it, now you can tell us directly!  https://discord.gg/QWPUCGCuVC SUPPORT THE PODCAST!
