Ohne George Harrison, den ehemaligen Pilzkopf, wäre dieser legendäre Film wohl niemals zustande gekommen. Die Rede ist, natürlich, von Life of Brian, dem Meisterwerk der englischen Komikertruppe Monty Python, die 1979 für die Premiere extra nach Amerika fliegen mussten. Der Film war bereits vor Uraufführung so umstritten, dass er in England nicht gezeigt werden konnte. Für den Kirchentag hat sich PopcornCulture aber nicht lange gestritten (Wortwitz!) bis klar war, sie müssen sich diesem Klassiker der Jesusfilm Parodien annehmen. Life of Brian, live vor Publikum. Viel mehr Livfe geht gar nicht. Manu, Jay und Janna diskutieren dabei die Frage der Grenze des guten oder eben auch Sandalenhumors, wenn es um religiöse Gefühle geht. Wird in diesem Film eigentlich Jesus, der Glaube oder die Kirche auf Korn genommen?

With the show behind them and plenty of time to focus on writing, the Pythons put together their most ambitious film yet: the story of the guy who lived next to Jesus. It's Monty Python's Life of Brian! The movie that was banned in a number of countries, yet is still considered to be one of the funniest films of all-time. Written by Terry Jones, Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Michael Palin, Eric Idle, and Terry Gilliam, with directing duties from Terry Jones. It's the Pythons at their best.

This week Brian and Harrison and joined by friend of show, Rocky, Firstly, they re-live the antics surrounding their annual social cricket match and then sift through the results of their recent podcast survey, where there was plenty of 'mixed' feedback for our friend Rocky. Next, the boys are joined by AFL star & budding artist Cody Weightman. Cody is building an impressive career playing for the Western Bulldogs but what find most enticing about Cody is his positive energy, zest for life and his interest outside of football. Growing up on a hobbie farm in Officer, Cody has no problems keeping himself entertained and engaged, he is a talented painter, a keen surfer and has charm and charisma to boot. We really enjoyed getting know Cody and we hope you do to.

This week Brian and Harrison kick things off by re-hashing some recent family events, talk through some AFL news, as well as some other sporting issues making headlines recently. Next, the boys are joined by AFL legend & mental health advocate, Wayne Schwass. Wayne played 282 games across his illustrious, 14-year AFL career, amassing; 282 games, 3x B&Fs, a premiership (1996), an All-Australian, NMFC Team of the Century and NMFC Hall of Fame. Despite his many great accomplishments on the field, it is Wayne's personal journey with mental health and the work that he is now subsequently doing in the community that is most impactful and admirable to us. As the founder of PukaUp, (a social enterprise dedicated to mental health, emotional wellbeing and suicide prevention) Wayne is starting the conversation and helping to change the narrative and stigma surrounding mental health. This is the most raw, emotional and sentimental conversation we've had on the podcast, not only referencing discussions around mental health broadly but also the sometimes 'complicated' relationship between father and son. We are grateful for Wayne's dedication to his calling, his bravery and his incredible perspective. We're glad he has found his purpose.

Aontas - The Life Of Brian (Maguire) - Adelphi '63

In this episode, join The Dale, Cea, and Twan as we dive into the satirical brilliance ofMonty Python's Life of Brian. From its sharp religious and political commentary to its infamous controversies, we explore what makes this film a comedy classic. We'll break down its most memorable moments, and why it still resonates today. Tune in for laughs, insights, and a look at one of the greatest comedies ever made!

The tremendous Amy Seeley is back and this time the subject is right in her wheelhouse: COMEDY. We talk the legendary work of the absurdly brilliant Monty Python, whose "Flying Circus" and subsequent movies dominated the 70s. We talk our favorite performers, favorite sketches, favorite lines, and favorite movies. We also get into a discussion of their influence, and talk a bit about comedy in general. It's a most excellent 90 minutes, so strap in for something completely different! TUNE IN!

Sorry for the even more delay in episodes, but here we are - talking about The Life of Brian. It would be impossible not to mention the controversy surrounding this film, to the point a Beatle had to create a film studio to save it (George Harrison, we love you). We discuss the fact that Gender Identity was raised in this film, as well as the accidental Messiah, the legend of Pontias Pilate, the foiled final rescue, what satire is supposed to be, the ongoing legacy, and I last dig at co-worker Lisa. Only the true podcast listener will deny it's enjoyability... sorry, tried to adapt a quote there.

Please…sit. And welcome to the Church of Apocalypse Video. I'm your host and pastor, Dave, and joining me are fellow mistaken Messiah's Mike and Ryan. Today, we will be reading from the Book of Python. Chapter 19, Verse 79: Life of Brian. Topics of discussion in this sermon include how hype-trains can often kill a classic (especially comedies); we trace a ton of modern comedy tropes back to the Python's; and finally, we wonder why the Python's thought lisps and cross dressing were the zenith of comedy.

When we return, we will be dropping the comedy and putting on our serious faces as Martin Scorsese regales us with the story of The Last Temptation of Christ.

This week Brian and Harrison kick things off with some general chat they discuss; the Lorne Pier to Pub, the Ash Barty Foundation Golf Day, Californian bushfires, the hiker the went missing at Mt Kosciusko and plenty more. Next, the lads are joined by Australian sports legend, media personality and ‘Lambassador' 'Slammin' Sam Kekovich. Keka as he's known is a former AFL star playing in the 1975 North Melbourne Premiership, but you might know him better as the Australian ‘Lambassador', where he has spent 20 years as the face of Lamb for Meat & Livestock Australia. He's enjoyed an illustrious media career, including' the ABC show The Fat (known for his direct-to-camera monologues), 3AK radio breakfast show, SEN 1116, Triple M's pre-match AFL coverage, PTI (pardon the interruption) Australia on ESPN, along with these programs, BT, Keka and ubiquitous Taylor family member, Rocky Dabscheck had a radio show called ‘The Dropkicks' on 3UZ in the 90s.  This chat is a hilarious melting pot of 3 very unique characters, all of which have no problem talking, we hope you enjoy.  2025 SURVEY Hosts: Brian & Harrison Taylor Guest: Sam Kekovich Produced by Harrison Taylor Audio & Video by Rhino Productions Get in touch with us or see more: Mailbag - lobmailbag@gmail.com Enquiries - harrison@ncmanagement.com.au Instagram - @lifeofbrianpodcast Tiktok - @lifeofbrianpodcast

THIS WEEK! We have returning guest "Bryan Ward-Perkins", back once again, and we ask the question "Apart from the Sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system, and public health? (and well peace). What Have The Romans Ever Done for us?" And what excactly have the Romans done for us? We decided that this week we will digg deeper into the question asked from the famous scene from the movie "The Life Of Brian". We take a look at both the good, and bad side of Roman Rule this week on "Well That Aged Well", with "Erlend Hedegart".Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/well-that-aged-well.

Brian Cohen é um judeu como outro qualquer, mas, em uma série de eventos ridículos, foi confundido com o Messias desde que nasceu, e, desde então, mantém essa fama e se torna lider de um movimento religioso. Um dia, ele é levado até Pôncio Pilatos e condenado à crucificação. Sátira irreverente sobre a visão de Hollywood em relação aos temas bíblicos e religiosos. Em 33 D.C. na Judéia, a sociedade sofre com a pobreza e a desordem. Brian Cohen (Graham Chapman) é um candidato a messias que se envolve em uma série de histórias hilárias, tornando-se cada vez mais importante entre todo o grupo.

Trump's landslide win redraws electoral map, shatters Democratic strongholds It was the equivalent of a political earthquake. Former President Donald Trump's historic White House win reverberated Wednesday through Washington and the nation after an astonishing comeback that upended political expectations, pollsters and the party elite. One day after the election, Mr. Trump's shocking, likely sweep of battleground states and unexpected popular vote victory over Vice President Kamala Harris became more evident. It showed that his triumph rattled down the ballot, helping Republicans capture the Senate and putting them on track to hold on to the House. The Republican Party, largely... View Article

Mick's picked one of her all-time favourites this week: 1979's Life of Brian. And she's not alone in loving this funny AF biting commentary about the danger of mass movements and the inherent weakness of any faith or ideology that eschews critical thinking, which still regularly tops ‘best comedy film' lists.  But do Hannah and Jen feel the same? Does the Pythons controversial at the time satire stand the test of time? And is Mick still legally bound to Michael Palin? Find out! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We review the way that Ancient Rome and life in the provinces were portrayed in Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979).

We are in shock that it has taken us this long to cover the cult classic that is Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979). We have Rslaugesen over on Patreon to thank for pointing out this glaring oversight.Once we got started, it was hard for us to stop talking about the Life of Brian. British comedy was a staple of our childhoods and Monty Python was one of our favourites. It was a treat to follow the development of this movie from Jesus Christ: Lust for Glory to a Sliding Doors-style story of Brian Cohen, born in the manger over from Christ. Whilst Monty Python were probably trying to make a parody of 1970s Britain rather than a historically accurate portrait of first century CE Judea, we still found this film intriguing. From wolf's nipples to imperialism, we take you through all the best Roman scenes… and perhaps a few non-Roman scenes as well. Who can resist talking about the Virgin Mandy?Part of the appeal of Life of Brian is the fact that it is not afraid to make fun of the Romans (or anyone) and shows a much less glamorous side of the empire. Quite the contrast to the epics of the 1950s and 1960s.Things to Look Out ForFar too many ‘reenactments' of our favourite momentsThe Biggus Dickus sceneWhat Have the Romans Ever Done For Us? Not as much as this scene claims!The People's Front of Judea in action!The famous BBC2 interview with John Cleese and Michael PalinThe hilarious parody of the BBC2 interview on Not the Nine O'Clock NewsDr G's excitement upon spotting the frescoes from the Villa of the MysteriesComedies don't always stand the test of time. We can spot some awkward moments in the film, but overall, we think Life of Brian stands the test of time. Forty-five years after it's release, we would love to know whether you agree!For full shownotes and transcript, head on over to our website: https://partialhistorians.com/2024/09/19/special-episode-monty-pythons-life-of-brian-1979/For our full show notes and edited transcripts, head on over to https://partialhistorians.com/Support the showPatreonKo-FiRead our booksRex: The Seven Kings of RomeYour Cheeky Guide to the Roman Empire Hosted on Acast.

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...

Monty Pythons "Life of Brian" ble forbudt i Norge i 1980 på grunn av blasfemi. Men gjør den egentlig narr av Jesus, og er det så farlig? Kunne noen laget en lignende film som kretset rundt Muhammed og hans tilhengere? Hvordan finner vi balansen mellom folks tro og andres frihet til å lage humor?

Everyone's at maximum freakout in the leadup to World Happiness Dance, whatever that is, and nobody can figure out who's going with who -- especially with the addition of two new students, Delia and Cory, shaking up the social circles. Adding to the confusion: We're getting Brian's inner monologue instead of Angela's! What's going on???? And why is Graham so determined to wallpaper the bedroom instead of dealing with those cooking classes?Helping me break it all down is Trevor McMahan from the YouTube channel Media Processing; as well as Sharon Johnson and Susan Lambert Hatem from the podcast 80s TV Ladies.Also: We'll be taking a two-week break from posting new episodes while I travel to Toronto for Pride (join me at the Toronto Public Library on June 12!) and we'll be back with regular episodes on June 17.

John Wilson talks to actor, comedian, broadcaster and writer Sir Michael Palin. A founding member of the hugely influential comedy troupe Monty Python's Flying Circus, he wrote and performed in its five television series and three feature films including The Life Of Brian. Other big screen credits include A Fish Called Wanda, Brazil, The Missionary and The Death of Stalin. Michael is also a globetrotting documentary presenter and bestselling author.Michael recalls the early influence of listening to radio comedy as a child, especially the absurdist humour of The Goon Show devised by Spike Milligan. Meeting Terry Jones at Oxford University in 1962 proved to be a life-changing event as the two soon started working on sketches together and after graduating were hired for David Frost's satirical television show The Frost Report. It was on this programme that the duo first worked with future Python members John Cleese, Graham Chapman and Eric Idle. Starring in Alan Bleasdale's 1991 ground breaking television drama GBH allowed Michael a departure from comedy but also set the bar high for future acting roles which he increasingly forwent in favour of writing and presenting documentaries, including a particular favourite about the Danish Painter Vilhelm Hammershøi.Producer: Edwina PitmanArchive :A Fish Called Wanda, Charles Crichton, 1988 Take It From Here, BBC Light Programme, 1954 The Goon Show, The Man Who Never Was, BBC Light Programme, 1958 Comic Roots, BBC1, 1983 That Was The Week That Was, BBC, 1963 The Frost Report, BBC1, 1966 Do Not Adjust Your Set, ITV, 1967 Monty Python's Flying Circus, BBC1, 1969-1970 The Meaning of Life, Terry Jones, 1983 Friday Night, Saturday Morning, BBC2, 1979 The Life of Brian, Terry Jones, 1979 GBH, Alan Bleasdale, Channel 4, 1991 The Death of Stalin, Armando Iannucci, 2017 Michael Palin and the Mystery of Hammershøi, BBC4, 2008

Comedy is a genre that we haven't dove much into over the almost 3 years of the shows existence. So we, along with special guest Wyatt of  @CinemaTripReviews  , decided why not dive into one that's celebrating it's 45 anniversary and brought on a lot of controversy over its life and that is MONTY PYTHON'S LIFE OF BRIAN. A comedy that looks at the story of Jesus Christ, or more someone who was born the same day and went through an almost identical journey, except Brian's was on accident. As we look at this movie, we also try to answer if the movie should still be considered controversial all these years later or if it ever should've been in the first place. Lets look at the bright side of life and explore the LIFE OF BRIAN. #MovieReview #DissectThatFilm #montypython #lifeofbrian Promo:  @bucketofchumpodcast    CHECK OUT WYATT AND CINEMA TRIP REVIEWS: https://linktr.ee/cinematripreviews   INTRO BY JASON OF BINGE MOVIES Track: Infraction- A.I.

This is our annual holiday spectacular, with great guests, True Tales From Weirdsville and, of course, hours and hours of Christmas songs and holiday games. Not really.  Kliph Nesteroff is here. Kliph is a fantastic writer who has been here before discussing his books, The Comedians and We Had A Little Real Estate Problem. He is here to talk about his spectacular and, in my opinion, mandatory reading new book, Outrageous, A History Of Showbiz and the Culture Wars. It's one of my top five books of this year, just phenomenal and I'm really excited for you to hear him talk about it.  Also, actor Steven Weber is here. You know Steven from Wings, the TV miniseries The Shining, Chicago Hope and so much more. He is also a hilarious guy, a monster kid, and a terrific storyteller, so happy to have finally nabbed him to be on. Steven Weber is here.  True Tales From Weirdsville takes the idea of no good deed going unpunished to a whole new level, it's the making of Monty Python's Life Of Brian.
