The Gospel of The Life of Brian

Born on the same night as the heralded Messiah, Brian Cohen grows up to find himself in an odd position. His overbearing mother drags him all over the place, and he befriends a rebellious group of citizens who want to take out the Romans. And, on top of all that, he keeps getting mistaken for Jesus Christ.

This week, we talk the shortcomings of satire, the misplaced anger of the Pythons approach to the comedy of the film, politics, and much more as we deconstruct The Life of Brian.
