Podcast appearances and mentions of Eric Idle

Margaux Amant is radiohost bij Studio Brussel en de stem van ‘Man Bijt Hond'. Gevraagd naar haar favoriete Disneyfilms als kind, dropt ze een titel die ik nooit eerder hoorde: ‘Ella Enchanted'. Nochtans een sprookjesfilm met Anne Hathaway (die zélf zingt), post ‘The Princess Diaries'. Technisch gesproken een Disneyfilm, uitgebracht onder de Miramax-vlag. Helaas is die vandaag wel nergens legaal te bekijken en zijn de user-generated duidelijk geschreven door mensen die het verhaal niet hebben begrepen. In feite is dit een gemoderniseerde versie van Assepoester: Ella krijgt bij haar geboorte de ‘gave' van gehoorzaamheid, waardoor ze alles moet doen wat haar wordt opgedragen. En uiteraard wordt daar gretig misbruik van gemaakt, onder meer door haar stiefzussen. Het is een film met Joanna Lumley als stiefmoeder en Eric Idle als verteller, met een vette knipoog naar ‘Monty Python' en naar een middelleeuwen dat nooit heeft bestaan. Met een geweldige nummerkeuze van onder meer Elton John, Queen en Aretha Franklin. Maar we hebben het ook over je het opdringen van Disneyfilms aan je jongere broer of zus, over de zin en onzin van musical en over de Sissi-trilogie.

This week, we're not dead, we're pining for Python! This episode emphasizes that if you only know “Holy Grail”, you are really missing out on the full history, spectrum, and scope of everything those Monty Python boys (and girls! Let's not forget Carol Cleveland and the lovely Aimi MacDonald!) gave us as outrageous comedy from before Flying Circus and since.Today's root beer is IBC. Intro music by:Composition: John Philip Sousa Performance: U.S. Army Field Band, Public domain, via Wikimedia CommonsOutro music by Stockmusic331 on Pond5Send us a text

Kevin and Chris dive headlong into 1995's smash family hit Casper, which the latter enjoyed reasonably well, and the former seemed ready to claw out his eyes... or those of everyone around him. (Check out the video episode at @nowweknowpod on Youtube for even more fun (we're in the sight gag business now!)

"Always Look on the Bright Side of Life," a tongue-in-cheek comedy song written by Monty Python member Eric Idle, first featured in the 1979 Python film Life of Brian and was a Top 10 hit in the Australian Music charts. It is a theme song for optimists. An optimist is a person who engages in positive thinking and looks on the bright side of life. An optimist is inclined to be hopeful and to expect good outcomes. Faith is described as the substance or assurance of things we hope for but have not yet received. In Silver Linings, Terry Lees explores the strong connection between optimism and faith. Terry concludes that by maintaining an optimistic outlook, rooted in unwavering faith and a conviction of our own abilities, we unlock the potential for achievement.

This week, we invite everyone to take a much needed break and listen to interviews with Eric Idle, Bridget Everett + Jeff Hiller, Diane Lane, and more!Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

After a roundup of state/church news around the country, we celebrate the birthday of Eric Idle, 82, (who calls himself an "old agnostic") by listening to his irreverent song, "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life," from the movie "Monty Python's Life of Brian." Then, professor and author Josh Cowen tells us about his book The Privateers: How Billionaires Created a Culture War and Sold School Vouchers.

"Monty Pythons galna värld" tyckte någon var en bra svensk titel på denna rulle.... I veckans avsnitt har vi grävt fram klassikern Monty Python and the Holy Grail! Med karaktärer som Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir-Lancelot, Sir Galahead The Pure och så klart "Knights who say "NI" rullar vi in den trojanska hästen. Mycket nöje!

Eric Idle returns to SNL for the first time since his two Season 2 hosting gigs! This time, he brings along new British pop sensation Kate Bush for her first - and still ONLY - US television appearance. In a much-needed jolt to the season, Idle delivers his signature brilliance alongside recurring characters, lots of Jane Curtin, not one but TWO classic sketches, and singing dogs.With Saturday Night Live showcasing two English guests on the program (yes, evidently there's a difference from British), we welcome Pop Culture Five's Thomas Sena to OUR 5-Timers Club as he helps break down this amazing episode. Thomas tackles it all - from the comedic genius of Eric Idle and his analysis of what makes an effective cold open to his apparent dislike of dogs. He also educates our hosts on the musical talents of Kate Bush.---------------------------------Subscribe today!Follow us on social media: X (Twitter): NR4PTProjectBluesky: nr4ptproject.bsky.socialInstagram: nr4ptprojectFacebook: The Not Ready for Prime Time ProjectContact Us: Website: https://www.nr4project.comEmail: nr4ptproject@gmail.com

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema's biggest box failures and decide if they deserve a second chance.On this week's episode of Not A Bomb, Troy, and Brad are happy to welcome back to the show Sammy from the GGTMC to discuss the fantasy adventure film - The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

Does the third film of the “Trilogy of Imagination” deserve a second look? Or does this tall tale need to explode and be forgotten? Listen and find out!The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is directed by Terry Gilliam and stars John Neville, Eric Idle, Sarah Polley, Oliver Reed, Uma Thurman, Johnathan Pryce, and Valentina Cortese.Not A Bomb just launched new designs in our Merch store!

Send us a textThis Week on the Podcast Richards Sparks stops by to discuss his new book New Rules New Realm. In this clip, he talks about the writing not being right for one story but might belong to another story. ****Richard Sparks was born in England, and a graduate of Oxford University (Exeter College, where, like both JRR Tolkien and Philip Pullman before him, he studied English Language and Literature), Richard started out as a writer of stage plays, comedy revues and TV, for such shows as Not the Nine O'clock News. Rowan Atkinson performed his Schoolmaster sketch in John Cleese's The Secret Policeman's Ball.

This time out we have a real treat from across the pond. Neil Innes may not be the most recognizable name in comedy, but without him the Monty Python movies would be much the poorer (and we wouldn't have a Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band at all). Coming up as part of the British satire boom of the early 1960s, Neil was an artist and musician with a flair for the absurd. That certainly came to the fore in the Bonzos, where Neil often sang lead and wrote their biggest hit. He soon crossed paths with the Pythons who used his music in Monty Python and the Holy Grail (among others), and he later collaborated with Eric Idle on the faux-Beatles parody, The Rutles. An all-around good bloke, Neil remained a well-loved fixture in British comedy, including Bonzos and Rutles reunions, for the rest of his life. As always, find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Neil? Neil was a key member of the dada-influenced rockers The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band. He wrote and sang lead on their biggest hit -- I'm The Urban Spaceman. https://youtu.be/olGXtohOs7c?si=C-yLWjWHi27hxE_u Monty Python and the Holy Grail is beloved by fans and the clever tunes by Neil are part of the reason why. Here Neil foretells the fate of his boss, the very very brave Sir Robin. https://youtu.be/ACajzIlzvH0?si=ZdJZ8X2TpQzpP1M George Harrison was a great patron of the Pythons and was always ready to take a piss out of his old band. This clip from Eric Idle's Rutland Weekend Television finds George in fine voice singing . . .what?https://youtu.be/zJFLiW10ZrE?si=MOI5msq9MPQUaHHp

This week on It Was a Thing on TV   First, the late 80s was an era where the syndicated sitcom ruled the airwaves, primarily on FOX and independent affiliates, also primarily on the weekends.  One such show starred podcast favorite Diana Canova, a single mother who worked at a record label.  Despite being on the air for two seasons, very little of this show exists online.  Maybe viewers didn't have the heart to record and retain Throb?   Then, for Halloween we went back to a very short-lived show to commemmorate the event.  Even nowadays, there have been shows where ghosts inhabit a house but can only be seen by select individuals.  NBC tried this in 1989 with Eric Idle.  Within a month, Nearly Departed was wholly departed from the network.   Follow us at all our socials via our Linktree page at linktr.ee/itwasathingontv    Timestamps 0:11 - Episode 509 Cold Open (Ron Ely Tribute) 2:00 - Throb (Episode 509) 50:57 - Nearly Departed

Back to 1981 when Tony was captivated by "Time Bandits," a whimsical film written by Monty Python's Eric Idle and Michael Palin. The movie, with its blend of silliness and humor, left a lasting impression on him. Fast forward to today, Tony finds himself equally enchanted by the new Apple TV series "Time Bandits," which successfully recaptures the charm of the original. Through Sci-Fi Talk, Tony delves into the series with Kal-El Tuck, Tadhq Murphy, Rune Temte , and  Roger Jean Nsengiyumva. Subscribe To Sci-Fi Talk Plus 

Dana and Tom with new guests Heather Stewart (@heatherjstewart) and Ryan Luis Rodriguez (One Track Mind podcast, Reels of Justice podcast) discuss the religious comedy, Life of Brian (1979): directed by Terry Jones, written by Monty Python, starring Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam, and Eric Idle.Plot Summary: Ah, splendid! Picture this, if you will: the bustling streets of ancient Judea, a land rife with political turmoil, religious fervor, and the occasional stoning. Into this chaos, on the very same night as a certain well-known savior, is born a rather unremarkable chap named Brian Cohen.Now, Brian, through no fault of his own, is continuously mistaken for the Messiah. This hapless fellow bumbles his way through a series of increasingly ludicrous adventures. From joining the People's Front of Judea (not to be confused with the Judean People's Front—splitters!) to unintentionally starting his own religious movement, Brian's life is a whirlwind of mistaken identity, misunderstandings, and the utterly absurd.As if that weren't enough, he's pursued by Roman centurions, swooned over by fanatical followers, and lectured by his domineering mother ("He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!"). All this, while Brian desperately tries to carve out a normal life in a world that seems determined to turn him into something he most definitely is not.So, in essence, dear friends, "Life of Brian" is a satirical romp through history, skewering sacred cows and poking fun at the foibles of humanity with the kind of irreverent wit and cheekiness that only Monty Python can deliver. Quite a lark, wouldn't you say?Guests:Heather Stewart@heatherjstewart on IG, X, LetterboxdRyan Luis RodriguezHost of One Track Mind Podcast (IG, X, Letterboxd)Co-Host of Reels of Justice Podcast (IG, X)Chapters:0:00 Intro1:47 Getting to Know Our Guests13:42 Relationship(s) to Life of Brian19:49 What is Life of Brian About?22:49 Is Satire Healthy for Democracies?25:28 What is the Legacy of the Pythons?30:02 Plot Summary31:50 Did You Know?33:44 First Break34:25 Where You Can Find Our Guests37:01 Ask Dana Anything51:09 Best Performance(s)01:06:05 Best/Favorite/Indelible Scene(s)01:18:04 Second Break01:18:49 In Memoriam01:19:54 Best/Funniest Lines01:25:38 The Stanley Rubric: Legacy01:32:37 The Stanley Rubric: Impact/Significance01:39:04 The Stanley Rubric: Novelty01:44:48 The Stanley Rubric: Classicness01:54:01 The Stanley Rubric: Rewatchability01:58:24 The Stanley Rubric: Audience Score and Total...

Cathy Moriarty Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Girl Crush! I've had one for years on Academy Award Nominee, Cathy Moriarty, now after spending a virtual hour with her, forgetaboutit! I always knew she was an incredible actress, whether making me laugh or cry, but, what an amazing woman… mother, daughter, loyal friend, and pet rescuer. We talked the Bronx, where we both come from, Alexanders, our mothers, gratefully still with us, Cathy's pre-Pesci discovery acting days… high school drama, plays, dinner theatre, no agent, no professional training, but grabbing stage time wherever she could, auditioning and then a bathing suit contest to win a coveted pair of shoes that would change her stars. The trifecta at 17, the beforementioned Pesci, DeNiro, and Scorcese––Raging Bull. Her first film which led to that Oscar nod, on-the-job master classes, and a friendship with her character's namesake that would last the rest of Vikki LaMotta's lifetime. Neighbors. Belushi's last film. Ackroyd's kindness. All Cathy learned about comedy from them. Soapdish, how she almost didn't get it, who almost did, one of Cathy's favorite films for so many reasons. A horrible car accident, getting back to work… Kindergarten Cop, Forget Paris, Casper, Speilberg, Eric Idle, Copland, Stallone, more DeNiro, Analyze That, and how easy they are together. Despite all the work, Cathy's so un-Hollywood. Unfazed by celebrity and stardom, she dreamt of being a great actress not a movie star. A mother, who loves to cook, and thanks to Marty's mother (Scorcese) she prides herself on making the best sauce and meatballs around, she's also a savvy businesswoman who's owned a few restaurants and very successful pizzerias. We're regulars at the Encino location. There was so much more to talk about than we had time for - there's a slice of pizza in our future… I have witnesses! What started out as respect, and adoration… I adore, more! Cathy Moriarty on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Wednesday, 8/7/24, 5 pm PT, 8 pm ET Streamed Live on my Facebook Replay here: https://bit.ly/3YDw0PC

Prepare to get a bit silly as we salute a Python -- Eric Idle! While best known for his stint in Monty Python's Flying Circus, Eric has carved out a fine solo career including creating a stellar Beatles parody (The Rutles), writing the Broadway version of Monty Python and the Holy Grail (Spamalot), penning books, and touring the world. Oh yeah, he also was the creative force behind Monty Python's Farewell Shows in 2014. Not bad work if you can get it! A Tony and Grammy award winner, Eric shows no signs of slowing down with a new book (Spamalot Diaries) on the way and an accompanying tour. See him while you can -- he's a Legend's Legend. As always, find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Idle? One of Eric's best tunes came in Monty Python's Meaning of Life in which Eric explains the galaxy. https://youtu.be/EntOjHJvYtY?si=B0Gvvzcn3gZUSTYa After Python, Eric's first huge project was The Rutles -- a parody of The Beatles that managed to be affectionate and snarky, all at the same time. Plus, it's pretty darned musical as seen in "Ouch" in which Eric's "Dirk McQuickly" takes the lead. https://youtu.be/6VNDZKa3ewE?si=jbHjqubWDrvlyX90 Eric hasn't made too many movies outside of Python, but Nuns on the Run (with Robbie Coltrane) is a perfect fit. Here Eric and Robbie, bank robbers trying to pass as nuns, try to explain the Holy Trinity. https://youtu.be/LBYs__VRqBs?si=-IsRmxqZfmFw7Jqu Eric's song "Always Look on the Bright Side of Live" has become a staple at UK funerals but during this chat with Craig Ferguson, Eric pulls out a somewhat darker companion piece! https://youtu.be/AUhu1CVzYjk?si=lpCsPwZ5icOS0JI9

It's killer rabbits and k-nig-hts and coconuts as NostalgiaCast journeys back to medieval times for what is arguably the most quotable movie of all time, MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL. Jonny and Darin try to keep their hysterics in check as they recount their favorite lines and sketches from the film, as well as the history of Monty Python and how Chapman-Cleese-Gilliam-Idle-Jones-Palin & Co.'s subversive meta-commentary comedy lives in the SOUTH PARKs, RICK & MORTYs, and DEADPOOLs of today.

This week we dive into the story of the most famous Liverpudlian foursome of all time! No, not those guys--we're talking about Eric Idle and Neil Innes's Rutles.

We know the universe is rapidly expanding but what happens if other galaxies disappear from view? That's what Eric Idle wants to know as he ponders the future and what it holds in store. Solar scientist Lucie Green says this is not worth dwelling on because we'll all be wiped out by an asteroid at some point anyway, which leads to a discussion about whether anywhere is still safe. Away from physics, Brian Cox and Robin Ince learn that one of the major contributors to global warming is the urinal cooling industry, which raises important questions about human stupidity. Should we let another species have a go? Chris Addison reckons dolphins might do a better job than we have but admits there are some major logistical issues.New episodes will be released on Wednesdays. If you're in the UK, listen to the full series on BBC Sounds: bbc.in/3K3JzyFProducer: Marijke Peters Executive Producer: Alexandra FeachemEpisodes featured: Series 22: The end of the universe Series 3: Apocalypse Series 13: Climate Change Series 19: The future of humanity Series 15: The human story: How we got here and how we survived

Robin Ince and Brian Cox tackle the thorny debate over whether science and religion can co-exist. But forget the tension between the church and the researchers – Eric Idle wants an answer to the important question of whether God is in gluten free communion bread? Katy Brand launches the inaugural theologian's corner with a pair of Reverends, who explain that comedians and the clergy have a lot in common, including a tendency to like the sound of their own voices. As we learn more about how our universe works, will there even be a need for religious belief? Since some research suggests fundamentalists and zealots tend to be less intelligent, perhaps there's a case to be made for some healthy scepticism.New episodes will be released on Wednesdays. If you're in the UK, listen to the full series on BBC Sounds: bbc.in/3K3JzyFProducer: Marijke Peters Executive Producer: Alexandra FeachemEpisodes featured: Series 1: Science and Religion Series 4: Is There Room for Mysticism in a Rational World?

It's time for another Lisa-centric episode that speaks to all of the gifted kids who grew into confused adults. A documentarian played by Eric Idle shatters Lisa and Bart's sense of self, leading Lisa to battle light pollution (something your hosts never heard of before this 2003 ep). Listen for a podcast dissertation on that plus the Up series, Python troupe rivalries, songs about Vincent Van Gogh, and much more!
