Podcasts about Monty Python

Blink and you might miss it, but Michael Palin returns to SNL for the third time. He is joined by James Taylor, making his second appearance as musical guest.This episode serves up a mixed bag – a couple of VERY long sketches combined with three songs from JT results in one of the fewest comedy bits of any Saturday Night Live episode. Add to that the Monty Python veteran's surprisingly sparse on-camera presence, and you've got an outing that leaves something to be desired.But fear not! Empire Magazine editor and author of Wild & Crazy Guys, Nick de Semlyen joins us from merry old England to dive deep into Palin's comedic legacy, question James Taylor's musical choices, and speak with an accent that generally makes him sound smarter than both our hosts combined. Along the way, we somehow manage to shoehorn in references to Gary Busey, Steven Seagal, and contemplate the merits behind the plot of Diff'rent Strokes.---------------------------------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

The next sequel we will discuss is "Inspector Gadget 2". For it, I chatted with the Director Alex Zamm. Alex talked about his journey up outside Woodstock, NY to Hollywood that involved winning free movie tickets for a year to a local theater after winning a contest, cartooning and going up to Mad Magazine, then some stage, then he starting doing interviews for 6 years, and then started working on movies with a friend which drove him to filmmaking.  We talked about getting something he made noticed by Monty Python, having Scorsese as his teacher, Sundance, Upright Citizens Brigade, writing on Green Lantern in the early 90s, Woody Woodpecker, Larry the Cable Guy, approach to directing sequels, and more. This is a fun one.

I år er det femti år siden Monty Python and the Holy Grail kom på kino, og det er femti år siden humorserien Hotell i særklasse for første gang ble vist på BBC. Kulturjournalist Elise Dybvig har vært på Folketeateret i Oslo for å se den 85 år gamle britiske komikerlegenden John Cleese i levende live. Det var en ganske tragisk affære. Det var også en påminnelse om at det fantes en tid da man i en vanlig samtale kunne si at man foretrakk «britisk humor». En kikk på dagens strømmetjenester gir derimot inntrykk av at britene har sluttet å lage humor. Er det – som med alt annet – brexit som har skylden?Britiske humorprogram nevnt i episoden:Peep Show (2003-2015)Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969-1973)Fleabag (2016-2019)This Country (2017-2020)Alan Partridge, figuren spilt av skuespiller Steve Coogan i film, tv-serier og podkast.Aksels anbefaling: Hørespillene De dödas röster og Exorcismen i Eksjö på Sveriges Radio Hosted on Acast.

The Gospels tell us about Jesus' adult life, with scant references to his childhood.We can catch glimpses of the younger Jesus' life, but there's so much we don't know.But if we move beyond the Bible, we can learn about the world the younger Jesus lived in.Growing up a refugee, in a land under foreign occupation, and a region full of militia groups, it's worth asking: How did the turbulent background of the boy Jesus affect His message … and the whole of Christianity?CREDITSUndeceptions is hosted by John Dickson, produced by Kaley Payne and directed by Mark Hadley. Alasdair Belling is a writer-researcher.Siobhan McGuiness is our online librarian. Lyndie Leviston remains John's wonderful assistant.  Santino Dimarco is the Chief Finance and Operations Consultant. Editing by Richard Hamwi.Our voice actors today were Yannick Lawry and Dakotah Love.Special thanks to our series sponsor Zondervan for making this Undeception possible. Undeceptions is the flagship podcast of Undeceptions.com - letting the truth out.(00:08) - - Judea: A difficult province to govern (08:42) - - Herod (16:48) - - Growing up Judean (21:00) - - Was Jesus actually from the line of King David?

Fredrik Sixtensson och Ola Wong talar om ”Odysséen”. Homeros diktverk om Odyssevs äventyr inledde tillsammans med ”Iliaden” den grekiska och västerländska litteraturen och har sedan fortsatt att inspirera. Men varför dras vi till en manisk lögnare? Fredrik läser högt på grekiska och vi jämför Lagerlöfs och Björkesons svenska översättningar med norrmannen Kjell Arild Pollestads nytolkning på prosa. Monty Python, mjukporr och manlighet nämns.

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.

Hi everyone! We recently surveyed our audience and learned that many of you would like to see more video. So, we're kicking off a new run of video episodes, beginning with our interview featuring John Cleese—actor, writer, comedian, and author of Creativity: A Short and Cheerful Guide. You can watch the interview on our Substack, or on Youtube. Enjoy! Original intro The Ministry of Silly Walks. The Cheese Shop. French Taunting. If you haven't seen any of these Monty Python sketches before, do us a favor and go watch one or two of them. You'll discover—or re-discover—why our guest for this episode is a creative comic legend.  John Cleese starred in and co-wrote the award-winning series Fawlty Towers, was nominated for an Academy Award for the screenplay of A Fish Called Wanda, and even has a species of lemur named after him (Cleese's wooly lemur, Avahi cleesei). He's also an expert on the creative process, and so if you're looking for a new framework to level-up your own workflow, his book Creativity: A Short and Cheerful Guide is a great resource. We talk with John about his new book, and also about creative collaboration in the midst of friction, how to be comfortable with ambiguity, and creating boundaries of space and time to get in a creative mode. We also get to ask him a question that's been bugging us ever since we first watched Monty Python and The Holy Grail. These days, we can all use a little more laughter in our lives. We hope our interview with John sparks some joy, and leaves you with some new creative tools. Thanks for listening. Bio John Cleese is an English actor, comedian, writer, and film producer. He achieved success at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and as a scriptwriter and performer on The Frost Report. In the late 1960s, he co-founded Monty Python, the comedy troupe responsible for the sketch show Monty Python's Flying Circus and the four Monty Python films, And Now for Something Completely Different, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Life of Brian, and The Meaning of Life. In the mid-1970s, Cleese and his first wife, Connie Booth, co-wrote and starred in the British sitcom Fawlty Towers. Later, he co-starred with Kevin Kline, Jamie Lee Curtis, and former Python colleague Michael Palin in A Fish Called Wanda and Fierce Creatures. He also starred in Clockwise, and has appeared in many other films, including two James Bond films, two Harry Potter films, and the last three Shrek films. He is also the author of Creativity: A Short and Cheerful Guide. *** This ad-supported episode is available to everyone.

Welcome to Episode 107 of The Ugly Quacking Duck, where we proudly embrace our status as "the worst podcast in the known universe"—because once you're the worst, you can only get better!This Star Wars Day special brings you Bruce and Sunny's unique perspective on everything from local weather patterns to global seismic activity. We kick off with our signature weather comparison between rainy Southern Illinois and sunny Phoenix, Arizona—a stark contrast that highlights how differently Mother Nature behaves across the continent. While we're dealing with 46°F temperatures and 94% humidity, Phoenix enjoys a comfortable 69°F with just 32% humidity. These weather segments connect us with listeners across different regions and provide a grounding element to our free-flowing conversation.Our earthquake report reveals some concerning trends in global seismic activity. With 1,774 earthquakes recorded worldwide in the past week alone, including four measuring above 6.0 magnitude and a massive 7.4 quake near South America, we're seeing patterns that suggest when overall earthquake counts decrease, higher-magnitude events tend to increase. This observation could potentially lead to better prediction methods, though we're still far from that reality.The News Corner segment dives into several fascinating stories you might have missed: scientists bringing back dire wolves through DNA manipulation, Sicily's ancient "white gold" tree sap being compared to biblical manna, Monty Python and the Holy Grail celebrating its 50th anniversary, and devastating sandstorms in Iraq that hospitalized thousands. These stories remind us that beyond our daily concerns, the world continues to surprise us with both scientific breakthroughs and ongoing challenges.We close with a heartfelt reminder about the importance of community in these divisive times. As Bruce says, "Every one of us bleeds. We need to stick together and pull each other up together, not push one person down to get up."Have you experienced any interesting weather phenomena in your area lately?

The 2005 sci-fi blockbuster Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith celebrated its 20th Anniversary this year with a notable achievement, with its re-release earning $30 million at the domestic box office. Being the biggest money-making example of a re-release this year, it shows why anniversaries for beloved films mean so much to audiences. Although not as much of a moneymaker, the 20th Anniversary re-release of Pride and Prejudice was able to make $3 million close its opening and close to $6 million total. To widen the scope to other decades-old movies, other beloved films like Monty Python and the Holy Grail and Jaws are making their way back to theaters to honor their respective 50th anniversaries. Joining us to get into this wide scope of film anniversaries is our film critics Lael Loewenstein and Manuel Betancourt.

We talk about a director straight from Monty Python, Terry Gilliam

Chicago Tribune film critic Michael Phillips joins John Williams to talk about the 50th anniversary of ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail,' and to share his thoughts on the Oscars introducing a Best Stunt Design category.

We're finishing The God Who Weeps by Terryl Givens and Fiona Givens. This is the first book in a trilogy of Mormon theology and we want to leave room in the year to get through it all. What does today hold for us? We start with a long discussion on the pre-mortal existence, transitioning into existence, then ascending to perfection thanks to Mormon beliefs. We didn't realize until pretty late in the project that the 5 chapters of the book are structured around the different stages of the Mormon Plan of Salvation (PoS), but it become clear pretty early on in our discussion. All told, the book is a marker of modern orthodox Mormon belief: pray, pay, and obey. They even have an ultra-conservative take on abortion that makes the official stance of the church seem like bleeding-heart liberals in comparison. Then we talk about The Meaning of Life, a Monty Python movie from 1983 that has a much more healthy way of looking at the random cosmic soup that led to human existence. We wrap with some happy news about the success of a slightly higher tax in Massachusetts that raised a bunch of money for all the things for which taxes are used. We round out by going through some delightful listener mail from the April Fools episode!   MOGP:  Monty Python's The Meaning of Life   Happy News:  https://www.wbur.org/news/2025/04/28/massachusetts-millionaires-tax-institute-policy-studies-newsletter   Other appearances: Chris Shelton interviewed us in the beginning of a series on Mormonism.

This week on the Exciting & New podcast, Jason, Andy and Dana welcome Jim back on the podcast as we discuss the 1985 surreal comedy Brazi.  This one was a divisive one (at least from the point of veiw of one person).  A little too Monty Python for some, a little too batshit crazy for others.  Robert DeNiro for some reason shows up.  There's a Hobbit (or is he an Android) and Super Mario shows up.  This move was a weird one.  Apparently this is part 2 of Terry Gilliam's "Trilogy of Imagination".  If this is what he is imagining, I feel sorry for this guy when he closes his eyes to go to sleep at night.  Anyway, the podcast is just about as weird as the movie we are discussing.  Enjoy!

We roar back into life for our 2025 season with the podcast crossover that nobody but us was asking for, as co-host of venerated blockbuster Beatles podcast Steven Cockcroft joins Jeremy Dylan to talk about George Harrison's solo classic 'Living in the Material World'. In amongst numerous fab-adjacent tangents, Steven and Jeremy talk about the long shadow All Things Must Pass casts over this record, Ringo Starr and Jim Keltner's innovative double drumming techniques, the lead piano of the legendary Nicky Hopkins, how this album might have served as a template for the rest of Harrison's recording career, Harrison's bitterness around the Beatles and the push and pull between his spirituality and material appetites, lawyer-based hoedowns, Harrison's extremely intermittent history as a live act and more. Plus, Steven shares his memories of attending the amazing Concert for George tribute night featuring every single living (at the time) rock legend plus a surprise Monty Python reunion.
