Monty Python and the Holy Grail

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.360 --> 00:00:04.599
Hello everyone, it's Logan again.
Today we're here to talk about Monty Python

2
00:00:04.719 --> 00:00:10.189
and the Holy Grail, a comedy
classic is directed by Terry Gilliam and Terry

3
00:00:10.189 --> 00:00:15.269
Jones and stars and was written by
the Monty Python crew, which is Graham

4
00:00:15.269 --> 00:00:18.949
Chapman, John Clisse, Eric I
don't, Terry Gilliam, Terry Jones and

5
00:00:19.350 --> 00:00:23.300
Michael Palin, and I'm joined here
with Adam fackleman. All right, Adam,

6
00:00:23.300 --> 00:00:27.339
wantn't you tell me about Hey Loogan, your overview of this movie,

7
00:00:27.379 --> 00:00:30.620
I guess, or well, my
over to put it simply, this is

8
00:00:31.140 --> 00:00:35.700
my favorite movie of all time.
Fuck, yeah, yeah, our last

9
00:00:35.729 --> 00:00:39.409
episode we talked about no country froman, which is very like, I guess,

10
00:00:39.770 --> 00:00:43.250
very much of a classic, but
a very refined cinema. This one

11
00:00:43.369 --> 00:00:47.369
is just incredibly absurd. So why
is it like my favorite? Well,

12
00:00:47.409 --> 00:00:50.439
I saw it when I was like
ten years old, introduced to it by

13
00:00:50.479 --> 00:00:56.359
my brothers, and I've just never
stopped and enjoying the film. It never

14
00:00:56.719 --> 00:01:00.280
ceases to make me laugh and enjoy
it. I never get tired of it.

15
00:01:00.119 --> 00:01:03.240
Yeah, me neither. I can
laugh at this movie. Like I

16
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:04.790
said, I was like scrubbing through
it on Youtube. It's available on Youtube,

17
00:01:04.870 --> 00:01:10.750
which I'm which is interesting. But
yeah, like I saw two thumbnails,

18
00:01:10.829 --> 00:01:14.349
like Monty, python a girl full
like okay, yeah, I looked

19
00:01:14.390 --> 00:01:15.349
at one and I read the description
and it was like, I don't know

20
00:01:15.469 --> 00:01:18.819
in the rights, so this is
just reviewing and there was no ad.

21
00:01:18.939 --> 00:01:21.579
So I guess it's not monetized and
maybe that's how I get they get away

22
00:01:21.579 --> 00:01:25.780
with it, but it'll probably get
taken down sooner or later, but when

23
00:01:25.859 --> 00:01:27.340
someone notices it. The one I
saw was up for a year. It

24
00:01:27.459 --> 00:01:32.620
said a year old time. I
was quite shocked, but then again,

25
00:01:32.659 --> 00:01:36.810
youtube is they get so many videos
uploaded per hour. It's like I heard

26
00:01:36.849 --> 00:01:42.010
something like five hundred hours per hour. Is wowloaded every every day. That's

27
00:01:42.010 --> 00:01:45.329
a lot to look so just a
lot of the videos to like. You

28
00:01:45.409 --> 00:01:47.879
can't go through all of them,
I guess. Yeah, that's right,

29
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:52.000
some money, python and the holy
girl. Yeah, yeah, I love

30
00:01:52.079 --> 00:01:56.480
this movie too. I saw this
probably roughly around the same age. I

31
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.000
think my dad showed this to me. I'm not yeah, I'm going to

32
00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:00.549
go ahead and say my dad show
this to me, but either way it

33
00:02:00.709 --> 00:02:04.709
was a thing that me and my
family watched quite a few times. Yeah,

34
00:02:04.750 --> 00:02:07.150
as a young person, I used
to be able to quote a lot

35
00:02:07.150 --> 00:02:08.310
of it. We'll see if I
can still do that or not. It's

36
00:02:08.349 --> 00:02:13.469
probably like one of those few movies
fight to like pick like five movies.

37
00:02:13.590 --> 00:02:15.620
Is One like I could probably quote
ninety percent of the verbatim. Yeah,

38
00:02:15.979 --> 00:02:20.419
it's one of those for me and
I love it. Okay, sweet.

39
00:02:21.340 --> 00:02:24.060
You want any you have any thoughts
or anything before we get into the like

40
00:02:24.259 --> 00:02:28.900
just running through the movie or jump
in. Let's just jump in. Okay,

41
00:02:28.979 --> 00:02:31.729
cool. One thing I noticed rewatching
part of this was that I had

42
00:02:31.770 --> 00:02:36.930
completely forgot about actually, was the
jokes in the credit sequence. Yeah,

43
00:02:37.050 --> 00:02:39.889
about the subtitles, that I had
not remembered at all, that they were

44
00:02:39.930 --> 00:02:44.250
like this person that wrote this was
fired. Sorry, and then there's more

45
00:02:44.289 --> 00:02:46.919
stuff and it's like they were also
fired and those responsible for the firing of

46
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.120
the last people were all so fired. Yeah, like right off the Bat,

47
00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:53.919
like that movie, it started off
with that. They couldn't afford a

48
00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:57.680
title sequence, so they just had
to make something funny on their own.

49
00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:00.909
So that's what they ended. Oh, is that what? That's fun yeah,

50
00:03:00.270 --> 00:03:04.389
that was not like intentional. Well, it was obviously intentional, but

51
00:03:04.550 --> 00:03:07.550
not like their intention to begin with. Yeah, we're they going to do

52
00:03:07.710 --> 00:03:10.150
like the animation stuff that they do
later? Was Yeah, but they didn't

53
00:03:10.150 --> 00:03:14.020
have the budget for it. This
is movie was only made for about four

54
00:03:14.020 --> 00:03:16.139
hundred thousand dollars back then. Oh
Geez, wow, that's a lot.

55
00:03:16.180 --> 00:03:21.259
Of It was a invested in by
musicians like, you know, the Pink

56
00:03:21.300 --> 00:03:24.139
Floyd, Elton, John, George
Harrison and led Zeppelin. They all gave

57
00:03:24.180 --> 00:03:27.530
money to it. Oh, that's
cool, I didn't know that. I

58
00:03:27.650 --> 00:03:30.250
want to know why they gave money. Is because England and back in the

59
00:03:30.289 --> 00:03:35.409
day, they had really high taxes
on the rich and it would ensure that

60
00:03:35.490 --> 00:03:38.210
they kept their more of their money
if they took those tax losses. Okay,

61
00:03:38.449 --> 00:03:42.400
wow, but of course I think
pink floyd. They also went on

62
00:03:42.520 --> 00:03:47.120
record saying they watched the their show
my pythons flying circus in between recordings of

63
00:03:47.199 --> 00:03:51.439
dark side of the moon. Oh
Oh wow, that's interesting. Is this

64
00:03:51.520 --> 00:03:54.639
their first movie after the Flying Circus? Do you know? I don't remember.

65
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:58.590
Technically the first theatrical, but they
also had another one call and now

66
00:03:58.669 --> 00:04:01.669
for something completely different, which was
directed by Ian mcnaughton, who he was

67
00:04:01.710 --> 00:04:06.310
a director on a lot of the
flying circus episodes, but that that movie

68
00:04:06.430 --> 00:04:11.900
was mostly just a bunch of sketches
they made for this flying circus and they

69
00:04:11.979 --> 00:04:15.900
just made him cinematically and that was
to appeal more to American audiences. Get

70
00:04:15.060 --> 00:04:18.379
but it didn't really work at the
time. But then turn around and they

71
00:04:18.459 --> 00:04:21.339
made this and they also put they
made sure to put money python in the

72
00:04:21.420 --> 00:04:26.209
title, so they're branding themselves.
Yeah, and of course it worked.

73
00:04:27.050 --> 00:04:30.170
And then we jump into the intro
of the movie, which I really like

74
00:04:30.329 --> 00:04:32.170
because it starts with this like fog
and looks like it's going to be this

75
00:04:32.370 --> 00:04:35.449
like you know, that's a reference
epick classic. No, what is it?

76
00:04:35.689 --> 00:04:40.199
It's a reference to a character.
So I was I wrote it down.

77
00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:42.639
Throne of blood, darned blood.
Yeah, I know, there's a

78
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:44.600
lot of fog in that one.
Yeah, that's cool. I didn't know

79
00:04:44.680 --> 00:04:46.399
that. And of course we get
to like the best visual gag of all

80
00:04:46.519 --> 00:04:49.439
time. We're for the coconuts.
Yeah, so they just come out of

81
00:04:49.480 --> 00:04:51.480
the fog. It looks like it's
going to be this epic thing, and

82
00:04:51.560 --> 00:04:57.790
then they just roll out of the
fog smacking these coconuts and another like reason,

83
00:04:58.029 --> 00:05:00.029
another like low budget thing. They
couldn't afford horses. Yeah, well,

84
00:05:00.110 --> 00:05:03.990
it's better. It's so much better, so funny. Yeah, Michael

85
00:05:04.029 --> 00:05:09.139
Palin, who's in genius for deciding, Hey, why don't use coconuts?

86
00:05:09.180 --> 00:05:12.620
Yeah, Oh, that was his
idea. Yeah, that's great. And

87
00:05:12.699 --> 00:05:16.060
then we get to like the first
like official scene where they're just like arguing

88
00:05:16.100 --> 00:05:20.730
about swallows. Yeah, yeah,
they pull up to the castle and they're

89
00:05:20.730 --> 00:05:26.050
arguing about swallows, which is just
really funny in general that they're just ignoring

90
00:05:26.089 --> 00:05:28.610
this king. He's like I'm the
king and they're just ignoring him. And

91
00:05:28.730 --> 00:05:30.490
tell about this. But what I
really like about this is that it comes

92
00:05:30.529 --> 00:05:33.730
back later quite a bit. Yes, wallow talk, I guess that was

93
00:05:33.810 --> 00:05:40.759
like that joke about the swallows was
what originally started like their seed for this

94
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:44.240
movie. Oh, really, allegedly, I mean I don't know it for

95
00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:46.759
sure, like, I mean I
can see it. It's at the beginning,

96
00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.110
but throughout the whole movie, but
that was like a sketch idea they

97
00:05:49.149 --> 00:05:54.949
had for flying circus. Oh,
but they made it into a cult classic

98
00:05:55.029 --> 00:05:58.310
movie. Yeah, Big Fan.
And then I think we just get the

99
00:05:58.790 --> 00:06:00.509
world building scene next. I'm not
I'm not quite sure about the order.

100
00:06:00.550 --> 00:06:04.660
So you can correct me at any
time, but it's where the guys going

101
00:06:04.740 --> 00:06:09.779
around picking up dead Yep, and
it's great because it just sets up this

102
00:06:09.860 --> 00:06:13.819
movie is that is this darkly comedic
movie, like it's making fun of death

103
00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:15.540
right off the bat, and it
also sets up a gag that will continue

104
00:06:15.660 --> 00:06:20.250
throughout the the movie, which is
the I'm not quite dead actually, Yep,

105
00:06:20.290 --> 00:06:25.089
I'm getting better. What I love
about this is their mundane conversation and

106
00:06:25.209 --> 00:06:28.449
then the final result where he just
smacks the guy on the head and it's

107
00:06:28.490 --> 00:06:30.250
like, all right, he's dead. Now I'll take them, and I

108
00:06:30.370 --> 00:06:32.720
love that. Cost money to just
throw your dead onto the cart. Yeah,

109
00:06:32.879 --> 00:06:36.879
it's like you know this. They
imply that this is a feudal Europe.

110
00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:42.879
People died like flies back then.
M It's like you had a charge.

111
00:06:42.920 --> 00:06:46.189
In Hind sense, someone was there
taking advantage of capitalism back then.

112
00:06:46.509 --> 00:06:48.750
Yeah, well, the you know, the guys got have a job that

113
00:06:48.949 --> 00:06:51.230
makes some money. Get rid of
the dead. They spell bad, you

114
00:06:51.269 --> 00:06:55.790
know. Yeah, it's got to
pay the high text to a king.

115
00:06:55.870 --> 00:07:00.189
He didn't know about. Yeah,
Oh yeah, the next I think it's

116
00:07:00.230 --> 00:07:02.660
the next scene, but is one
of my favorites in the movie. The

117
00:07:02.779 --> 00:07:09.339
constitutional peasant. Yeah, I just
love this Peasant Guy, the violin inheritance

118
00:07:09.420 --> 00:07:13.420
system, and they're just like talking
all this political jargon and King Arthur has

119
00:07:13.500 --> 00:07:17.529
no idea what they're saying. I
great, it's absolutely fantastic. I there's

120
00:07:17.569 --> 00:07:21.810
like no confirmation, like he's like, oh, we're living in a dictators

121
00:07:21.810 --> 00:07:25.730
I've all I thought we were in
a what? I don't even remember what

122
00:07:25.810 --> 00:07:28.970
they call it, but they apparently
made up their own government system among the

123
00:07:29.170 --> 00:07:31.720
surfs. Yeah, which didn't expect
that when I was ten years old and

124
00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.240
a lot of that went over my
head. It took, yeah, years

125
00:07:34.279 --> 00:07:38.560
later for me to like finally grasp
what they're talking about. Yeah, I

126
00:07:38.600 --> 00:07:41.759
agree. Definitely wasn't my favorite scene
when I first saw it her as a

127
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.910
kid, but I think the older
I've gotten I've gravitated towards this scene so

128
00:07:45.990 --> 00:07:47.870
much. He's look so I love
how the scene ends where it's just like

129
00:07:48.589 --> 00:07:53.709
it's very clearly Arthur's abusing his power
as king, and I love that when

130
00:07:53.709 --> 00:07:56.189
I was ten, but now I'm
like completely like one hundred and eighty.

131
00:07:56.189 --> 00:08:00.660
I still love that part, but
I think I love everything the constitutional peasants

132
00:08:00.740 --> 00:08:03.379
says. Yeah, can't be king
because some water retart through a sword at

133
00:08:03.379 --> 00:08:07.899
you, shut up. If I
went out what around saying I was in

134
00:08:07.980 --> 00:08:11.699
it, we'd just because some moistened
bink loved the Semitar. May they put

135
00:08:11.740 --> 00:08:16.129
me away? Yeah, so then
King Arthur's so king Arthur's basically been made

136
00:08:16.129 --> 00:08:20.410
a fool of two scenes in a
row, the swallow thing and then this

137
00:08:20.569 --> 00:08:24.129
one. So then we get his, what I consider his victory scene coming

138
00:08:24.170 --> 00:08:28.639
up. Yeah, the one out
of three. Yeah, the black night

139
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:33.840
scene, absolutely fantastic. You know
what I can senior class, senior year

140
00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:35.320
of high school, I took a
theater class and for our final project,

141
00:08:35.320 --> 00:08:37.440
my friend and I we acted out
that scene. Now, he did,

142
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.750
Yep, but where you King Arthur? That I was King Arthur. I

143
00:08:41.830 --> 00:08:45.110
lost. We both wanted to be
the Black Knight. Nice. WHO DOESN'T

144
00:08:45.110 --> 00:08:46.669
WANT TO BE THE BLACK KNIGHT?
He's got the funny. I mean King

145
00:08:46.710 --> 00:08:50.029
Arthur wins and you know, in
hindsight I'm glad I was King Arthur because

146
00:08:50.950 --> 00:08:54.509
I saw the way, like my
friend was, he had to like mimic

147
00:08:54.899 --> 00:08:58.299
his art limbs getting cut off.
Yeah, and you it was on like

148
00:08:58.379 --> 00:09:01.539
his last leg and I cut him
off like he just took like a huge,

149
00:09:03.019 --> 00:09:05.980
like jump onto the ground knees.
It was wow. Yeah, it's

150
00:09:07.220 --> 00:09:09.940
Frollo them me. So his jump
was a lot higher than me. Oh

151
00:09:09.009 --> 00:09:15.250
Wow, but that either. That's
seen. That's one of those few scenes

152
00:09:15.610 --> 00:09:18.330
I do know, like one hundred
percent, like all the beats, all

153
00:09:18.490 --> 00:09:22.169
the lines and even all the mannerisms, because we had acted out. Yeah,

154
00:09:22.250 --> 00:09:26.720
it's merely a flesh wound that kills
me. This was this as a

155
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:28.000
kid. This one was definitely my, I think, my favorite scene.

156
00:09:28.279 --> 00:09:31.600
Anybody who's like new to the film
or is being introduced to it, this

157
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.600
will be like their favorite scene.
Go as soon as because it's really early

158
00:09:35.720 --> 00:09:41.789
on. Yeah, I remember my
brother's talking about this scene, particularly before

159
00:09:41.230 --> 00:09:45.470
I even watch the film end.
Of course, I've felt the same way

160
00:09:45.470 --> 00:09:48.509
after watching it. It was brutal, but it was hilarious at the same

161
00:09:48.509 --> 00:09:50.990
time, which is all what a
ten year old wants to see. Yeah,

162
00:09:50.070 --> 00:09:52.419
I forgot how bloody it was actually
till I watched part of it,

163
00:09:52.460 --> 00:09:56.100
because they have the blood squirting out, which is this kind of fun.

164
00:09:56.259 --> 00:09:58.340
It's yeah, it's gross, but
it's funny. I don't know. So

165
00:09:58.460 --> 00:10:03.220
he dispatches him pretty quickly. I
like the choreograph of the fight too,

166
00:10:03.460 --> 00:10:05.980
and that there's a lot of like
blocking and stuff, and so we're chopping

167
00:10:07.059 --> 00:10:09.730
on the ground nowhere near each other. Like, even if that's so,

168
00:10:09.970 --> 00:10:11.570
if they didn't block each other,
sword hit, that sort of just hit

169
00:10:11.610 --> 00:10:16.649
the ground. Yeah, if it
definitely NY. Never thought about it,

170
00:10:16.730 --> 00:10:18.929
but it was like, yeah,
that does seem a little bit more realistic,

171
00:10:18.970 --> 00:10:22.000
because those swords are probably heavy.
Yeah, I've never wield it,

172
00:10:22.120 --> 00:10:24.759
a full steel sword in my life. I don't know what a Katana is

173
00:10:26.120 --> 00:10:28.879
made out of different materials, but
it's not. But those look like heavy

174
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:33.559
swords. They're like three or four
feet long. Oh Yeah, I'm sure

175
00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:35.230
they're big guys. You could feel
the weight in the scene. I think.

176
00:10:35.389 --> 00:10:39.990
I guess they're actually wearing real chain
mill, according to John Clees,

177
00:10:39.230 --> 00:10:43.230
so that had to have like really
affected their movements. Oh yeah, I

178
00:10:43.350 --> 00:10:46.750
bet, because I think chain mail
like waste something like eighty pounds or it

179
00:10:46.909 --> 00:10:50.620
most, does it really? It's
it's a staggering number. Like if you

180
00:10:50.019 --> 00:10:54.179
were told you had to put this
much weight on your person, you'd say

181
00:10:54.299 --> 00:10:58.820
Hell No, you think the backpack
that kind? What's his name? Patsy?

182
00:10:58.940 --> 00:11:03.730
PATSY's carrying around that Terry Gillian's carrying
around all the time. Is is

183
00:11:05.169 --> 00:11:11.649
full or empty? Something tells me
it's probably going to be full, given

184
00:11:11.769 --> 00:11:16.250
that he's a code director of the
film. He's the one calling half the

185
00:11:16.330 --> 00:11:18.960
shots. He and Terry Jones are, yeah, tag teaming, but also,

186
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:22.320
like he he doesn't have any roles
in the film. He's he needs

187
00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:28.000
to carry his weight literally. Yeah, so something tells me the other pythons

188
00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:30.639
would have some fun and like,
oh no, we're throwing like, fill

189
00:11:30.679 --> 00:11:33.110
it up, we're going to grab
those rocks, grab those rocks. So

190
00:11:33.230 --> 00:11:37.470
then the next thing is our introduction
to the first night of Camelot, which

191
00:11:37.509 --> 00:11:39.950
is I forgot his name, but
he's the smart guy, bet of your,

192
00:11:41.149 --> 00:11:43.750
bet of your, yeah, yeah, played by Terry Jones. Yeah,

193
00:11:43.029 --> 00:11:48.620
Oh, okay. And then the
I like this whole thing too,

194
00:11:48.980 --> 00:11:52.500
with the which isn't burner. Mostly
I like three actions from the peasants.

195
00:11:52.860 --> 00:11:56.100
I'm trying to keep up with bet
of Hee. It just like what is

196
00:11:56.539 --> 00:12:00.779
something about bridges and Shit. I
don't remember, but it's funny. Yeah,

197
00:12:00.820 --> 00:12:03.409
you're trying to like, like,
I guess, link at random things

198
00:12:03.529 --> 00:12:07.250
to get to his point, like
he wants to trying to prove to them

199
00:12:07.330 --> 00:12:09.610
which is are made of wood.
How do you prove that she's made of

200
00:12:09.649 --> 00:12:13.129
wood? Build a bridge out of
her? I yes, but but you

201
00:12:13.169 --> 00:12:16.000
also build a bridge out of stone. Oh, you're right. He's got

202
00:12:16.039 --> 00:12:18.159
to be like a I guess a
first grade teacher's just gotta like give them

203
00:12:18.200 --> 00:12:22.559
the answer in the form of a
question. Oh yeah, but also floats

204
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:26.600
and water. I'm sure. I'm
sure teachers love the scene. Actually think

205
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.269
about that. I like, he's
like, she turned me into a nude.

206
00:12:31.029 --> 00:12:33.029
I got better. I got better
yet, which I think that one

207
00:12:33.149 --> 00:12:35.629
was drawn a lease. I I
love. Also, another thing I love

208
00:12:35.669 --> 00:12:37.350
about this movie is they say so
much money on the cast, because it's

209
00:12:37.389 --> 00:12:41.350
all just the same, you know. Yeah, the same cast and everything,

210
00:12:41.629 --> 00:12:45.539
not just the Python's, but if
you'd really notice, like a lot

211
00:12:45.580 --> 00:12:50.299
of the extra people, they're playing
multiple roles repeated as well. Yeah,

212
00:12:50.580 --> 00:12:54.620
John last talked about that in an
interview. He said even like his driver

213
00:12:54.220 --> 00:12:58.649
got something up to up to fifteen
parts. Oh Wow, yeah, just

214
00:12:58.730 --> 00:13:01.009
throughout the movie. That's because they
had to save money. They didn't have

215
00:13:01.049 --> 00:13:03.850
a lot of it. Yeah,
of course. I really attributes to the

216
00:13:03.970 --> 00:13:07.049
absurdity of the entire movie. Yeah, well, worked out well for then.

217
00:13:07.129 --> 00:13:11.289
This is a big hit for a
less than a million dollar movie,

218
00:13:11.889 --> 00:13:15.480
and I couldn't imagine it any other
way. If it was, every part

219
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:20.320
was acted by someone completely different.
Yeah, and it's very in vain of

220
00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:22.840
funny python. Oh, yeah,
absolutely. Then I think we get first

221
00:13:22.840 --> 00:13:26.519
introduced to the next my Tief,
which is the book stuff. I don't

222
00:13:26.559 --> 00:13:28.269
have a lot to say about the
book stuff other than it's nice little transition

223
00:13:28.350 --> 00:13:33.029
stuff. It's also something they used
to save money. Yeah, I've I

224
00:13:33.070 --> 00:13:35.389
guess I couldn't film everything that they
wanted to, so they just use the

225
00:13:37.029 --> 00:13:41.340
storybook Motif as a money saver.
Yeah, to jump through time, basically.

226
00:13:41.379 --> 00:13:45.259
Also, everything you see in the
film is a poor man something.

227
00:13:45.340 --> 00:13:48.139
Yeah, so that they basically like, all right, we can't do interest

228
00:13:48.179 --> 00:13:52.059
to all these other guys. So
here they are, here's the other nights,

229
00:13:52.179 --> 00:13:56.649
and then now we're resooming and they're
on their way to camelot, which

230
00:13:56.730 --> 00:13:58.370
there's a gag and this scene that
I really like that I've never seen before,

231
00:13:58.450 --> 00:14:01.409
that I didn't remember noticing till this
time I watched it, which is

232
00:14:01.450 --> 00:14:05.649
when they're like camelot and they're all
excited and then he's like it's just a

233
00:14:05.769 --> 00:14:09.850
model. I guess. Yeah,
they didn't. They can only Ford one

234
00:14:09.889 --> 00:14:11.639
castle on filming. So in fact, that the one that they wanted to

235
00:14:11.679 --> 00:14:16.240
use. I got banned from really. Oh, that's what I heard,

236
00:14:16.279 --> 00:14:18.840
but that's funny. The the castle
they ended up using is the one castle

237
00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:24.470
works. Yeah, Dune Castle in
Scotland, okay, which I would I

238
00:14:24.549 --> 00:14:28.269
wouldn't have guessed. If I hadn't
learned that, I would have thought like,

239
00:14:28.389 --> 00:14:31.070
Oh, they probably filmed in at
least a couple of castles. You

240
00:14:31.190 --> 00:14:33.870
just look different. Uh Huh,
they're all the similar boat. And then

241
00:14:33.909 --> 00:14:37.549
we get a musical sequence which is
really funny to me. The nights of

242
00:14:37.549 --> 00:14:39.500
the round table. Yeah, yeah, there's not a lot to say about

243
00:14:39.500 --> 00:14:43.139
that music sequence other than I like
it. It was fun. Yeah,

244
00:14:43.659 --> 00:14:46.100
and then they just immediately turn around
and say, you know that, let's

245
00:14:46.139 --> 00:14:48.299
just not go there. Yeah,
it's too silly, which was a great

246
00:14:48.340 --> 00:14:52.659
end to that scene. To move
on. And then we get, I

247
00:14:52.779 --> 00:14:54.129
think, the intro to the animation. It might have been earlier, but

248
00:14:54.970 --> 00:14:58.610
we get odd, which one must
have been ballsy, I feel like,

249
00:14:58.649 --> 00:15:01.730
at the time to put God as
a character in your story perhaps. Yeah,

250
00:15:03.009 --> 00:15:05.250
I mean England's more cool with that. Then we are in America.

251
00:15:05.370 --> 00:15:09.639
But when was this movie made?
Like this, seventy five? Yeah S,

252
00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:13.320
so they were becoming a little bit
more tolerable, I think. Yeah,

253
00:15:13.399 --> 00:15:16.039
they mean they did get a lot
of crap for life of Brian,

254
00:15:16.159 --> 00:15:20.080
which was very hid. Love that
movie. Actually that was also my list.

255
00:15:20.879 --> 00:15:22.710
Yeah, that movie was just commentary
on religion. This one was not.

256
00:15:24.029 --> 00:15:26.669
Yeah, the precursor to that,
but I love this, the groveling

257
00:15:26.750 --> 00:15:30.590
and all that stuff. I think
King Arthur does the voice of God to

258
00:15:30.909 --> 00:15:33.710
yeah, he does, which is
fine. It's just great. I guess

259
00:15:33.750 --> 00:15:35.220
I can. I saw. What
was it? What are they called?

260
00:15:35.220 --> 00:15:39.620
Spam a lot really, where they
perform my pithe on the holy group girl,

261
00:15:39.700 --> 00:15:41.779
but it's like different casts of characters. Eric idle played God in the

262
00:15:43.059 --> 00:15:45.860
that version. It was just like
a voice. Oh cool. Yeah,

263
00:15:46.659 --> 00:15:50.250
fun little fact. Is that like
a live performance thing or what? Yeah,

264
00:15:50.250 --> 00:15:52.289
it's like I saw a freshman year
of college at I didn't go to

265
00:15:52.330 --> 00:15:56.049
you to going to him by went
to you pembroke first year and they came

266
00:15:56.169 --> 00:15:58.649
there. They switch up the story
a little bit because the black night scene

267
00:15:58.690 --> 00:16:04.080
didn't come until much later. Interesting, it was still funny regardlessly. Yeah,

268
00:16:04.120 --> 00:16:07.080
this is are in true to the
animation in the film. Yeah,

269
00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:10.159
which I mean to be honest with
you. I love this film, but

270
00:16:10.559 --> 00:16:12.440
the animations not my favorite. Now
your favorite. I think it drags on

271
00:16:12.480 --> 00:16:15.200
a lot and a lot of places
I like the God stuff, but a

272
00:16:15.240 --> 00:16:18.320
lot of the cut scenes they get
to you later, like the guy going

273
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:22.230
down the stairs. That's like funny
the first time, but like after that

274
00:16:22.350 --> 00:16:26.669
I just wanted to hurry up.
Yeah, they did it just to like,

275
00:16:26.190 --> 00:16:29.870
I guess they wrote themselves on a
corners quite a few times in the

276
00:16:29.909 --> 00:16:33.980
film. I'll talk about another time
later. Okay, almost towards the end

277
00:16:33.500 --> 00:16:37.580
when they use the animation to kind
of, I guess, cop out.

278
00:16:37.220 --> 00:16:40.179
Maybe I'm not using cop out,
but you know what I mean, like

279
00:16:40.659 --> 00:16:42.059
kind of write themselves out of a
corner. So they use it as a

280
00:16:42.139 --> 00:16:45.659
problem solver. Yeah, to kind
of like flesh out the world a little

281
00:16:45.659 --> 00:16:49.370
bit. So, yeah, and
the plot along and stuff, and then

282
00:16:49.370 --> 00:16:52.409
I think, I don't know if
this comes next, but we might as

283
00:16:52.409 --> 00:16:56.169
well talk about it here. It's
like the intra introduction to the idea that

284
00:16:56.289 --> 00:17:00.009
it's like happening in Contemporary Times,
or close to it. We have been

285
00:17:00.049 --> 00:17:03.480
a film history and talking. Yep, I don't remember what he says,

286
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:06.559
not important. Somebody just comes and
cuts him down. I don't need is

287
00:17:06.559 --> 00:17:08.440
it lance a lot or is it
just a random I think it's just a

288
00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:11.839
random night. Okay, but there's
not like a really clear look at the

289
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:17.230
guy. You just hear like he
a guy on horseback, cooms slices and

290
00:17:17.349 --> 00:17:19.509
you get like one brief close up
then the guy he's dead on the ground.

291
00:17:19.789 --> 00:17:22.349
Yeah, I guess I just thought
it was Lancelot because that's part of

292
00:17:22.349 --> 00:17:26.990
his idiom. That would make perfect
sense to me. I if we want

293
00:17:26.990 --> 00:17:30.779
to say it's a lance a lot, I will say it's lance a lot,

294
00:17:30.859 --> 00:17:33.299
and okay, good. I guess
I like to think that when he

295
00:17:33.900 --> 00:17:37.380
I mean spoilers for later, but
everyone that's listening to us is already seen

296
00:17:37.420 --> 00:17:40.099
it. I like to thank you. When he gets arrested at the end,

297
00:17:40.099 --> 00:17:41.779
it's because of this guy. It
would make sense. You know,

298
00:17:41.819 --> 00:17:47.930
I think the original script was fifty
percent contemporary times really, so they cut

299
00:17:47.970 --> 00:17:51.250
back a lot when they cut about
ninety percent of their original script. Yeah,

300
00:17:51.410 --> 00:17:55.769
and apparently nothing was ad libbed.
Oh really, that was that part.

301
00:17:55.890 --> 00:18:00.200
It really shocked me because, you
think, because of how silly it

302
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:04.759
is and how naturally they just said
the lines. Yeah, you know,

303
00:18:04.799 --> 00:18:08.079
maybe they're just that professional act comedy. Yeah, they just done it a

304
00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:11.000
lot and I'm sure it's probably similar
to how there wasn't flying circus. I

305
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:15.589
mean the writing credits is literally all
of them. Yeah, so they probably

306
00:18:15.710 --> 00:18:18.109
just like acted it out and rehearsted
it and wrote it. Or maybe when

307
00:18:18.150 --> 00:18:22.789
they just redid what they've already done, or maybe just maybe they acted out

308
00:18:22.829 --> 00:18:26.589
the scene, they're like write that
down. Yes, because I mean it

309
00:18:26.630 --> 00:18:29.339
was just like transcribing on the on
side of the set next to camera.

310
00:18:29.380 --> 00:18:32.140
Yeah. So then I think the
next stuff is the French, the French

311
00:18:32.220 --> 00:18:34.420
people, Yep, which is John
Klass again. This is great, this

312
00:18:34.539 --> 00:18:38.940
is funny. I think they're everything
that's been said about the scene has been

313
00:18:38.980 --> 00:18:42.210
said, but that doesn't take away
from how great it is. It's when

314
00:18:42.210 --> 00:18:47.009
I was rewatching it last night,
I rewind it because it's always that.

315
00:18:47.289 --> 00:18:49.970
I find it funny. Yeah,
and you can, I can always pick

316
00:18:49.970 --> 00:18:53.289
up a little bit more what he
says through is thick absurd French accents.

317
00:18:53.609 --> 00:18:56.720
Yeah, it is pretty bit.
I like they already got one with.

318
00:18:56.839 --> 00:19:00.480
The best gag in this whole thing
is the is when they decide to do

319
00:19:00.640 --> 00:19:06.640
the troy thing. Yeah, build
a rabbit and put it up and then

320
00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:08.640
they forget to get in it and
their plans like Oh, let me get

321
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:12.190
out here. Yeah, and then
it's just catapulted right back at them.

322
00:19:12.269 --> 00:19:15.109
Yeah, do you think if they
were actually were inside with a gun,

323
00:19:15.230 --> 00:19:19.670
catapulted with it? Oh Yeah,
oh, yeah, probably. Something tells

324
00:19:19.710 --> 00:19:23.700
me those guys were not like really
good at like timing. Now would have

325
00:19:23.740 --> 00:19:26.500
been like, okay, were when
do we get out? Give it a

326
00:19:26.579 --> 00:19:33.900
moment. What was that? I
don't know what. Another gag that they

327
00:19:33.180 --> 00:19:37.539
that they repeat here, is I'm
pretty sure patsy gets hit with the cow

328
00:19:37.730 --> 00:19:41.730
and then he gets hit again.
It's somebody else. Think that's somebody else,

329
00:19:41.769 --> 00:19:45.049
but it's the same person that gets
hit to same guy. Yeah,

330
00:19:45.369 --> 00:19:48.369
because when it gets hit by the
rabbit he's on like crutches, you know,

331
00:19:48.490 --> 00:19:52.480
bandages. It was great. So
then after this the crew decides to

332
00:19:52.519 --> 00:19:56.240
split up. Yeah, they all
go on their own individual quests to find

333
00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:00.119
the Grille and, I guess,
report back to King Arthur. Yeah,

334
00:20:00.160 --> 00:20:03.240
and then between each section of this
we get book stuff and animation stuff and,

335
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:06.759
like I said, I don't really
remember them. They didn't really stick

336
00:20:06.799 --> 00:20:07.509
up to me. So if there's
any of them that you want to talk

337
00:20:07.509 --> 00:20:11.150
about the ago, I think the
only one that really stands out is the

338
00:20:11.269 --> 00:20:14.109
Sir Lancel before Sir Lancelot, because
that was one you're talking about. Like

339
00:20:14.230 --> 00:20:17.269
guy go down the stairs talking to
like the sun and like the clouds,

340
00:20:17.309 --> 00:20:19.589
who are just jumping up and down, like yeah, little kids. That's

341
00:20:19.589 --> 00:20:23.099
the only one time like they went
further with the animation. The other one

342
00:20:23.140 --> 00:20:26.220
was the other subs just book stuff. Okay. Yeah, so they go

343
00:20:26.339 --> 00:20:30.099
from well, there's one with the
the religious people that hit their head and

344
00:20:30.259 --> 00:20:32.819
stuff, right, the monks.
Was that? That's earlier on, though,

345
00:20:32.819 --> 00:20:34.460
I think in the movie. Well, was that crab? I remember,

346
00:20:34.579 --> 00:20:38.450
yes, and we slight on their
butts at one point because he falls.

347
00:20:38.609 --> 00:20:41.609
The Animation Guy Falls over for all, like walking down at death trap

348
00:20:41.690 --> 00:20:44.849
or something. Yeah, the first
one was Sir Robin. Then it might

349
00:20:44.890 --> 00:20:48.130
have been a thing. It's probably
for Sir galahads a Galahad, that's his

350
00:20:48.170 --> 00:20:52.519
name, Michael Palin's character, because
he does go to an Abbey. So

351
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:57.200
the entire things with nuns horning nuns. Yeah. Well, I guess we

352
00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:00.119
should talk about Robin First, because
he had a very interesting one. Who

353
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:03.630
meets the three headed? Yeah,
his is really quick and that are quicker

354
00:21:03.670 --> 00:21:07.990
than the other people's stories, I
think. So He's getting the Song Sung

355
00:21:07.069 --> 00:21:11.910
to him about how bravey is.
Yeah, his minstrels now and then he

356
00:21:11.990 --> 00:21:17.829
meets the the nights, who talk
about killing him or cutting him and storing

357
00:21:18.150 --> 00:21:19.819
it's a pretty funny scene. But
the gag that makes the whole scene to

358
00:21:19.900 --> 00:21:23.019
me, or everything about this sequence, is when he, robin leaves and

359
00:21:23.059 --> 00:21:26.539
then they start singing about how bravely
he ran away and how brave he was

360
00:21:26.619 --> 00:21:30.099
to retreat, and then they defy
his orders, like he keeps telling him

361
00:21:30.220 --> 00:21:34.250
stop, but they just continue the
song, and I love like the last

362
00:21:34.289 --> 00:21:37.170
shot. We see like them the
very lash out of the scene. They're

363
00:21:37.170 --> 00:21:44.329
just like prancing away, like yeah. So then following Sir Robin is the

364
00:21:45.130 --> 00:21:48.599
Sir Gal ahead and Sir gala had, which is a great sequence. This

365
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:51.279
is another one where they set it
up in this flog like it's going to

366
00:21:51.319 --> 00:21:53.799
be this really bad thing. Yep, and the castle looks dark. This

367
00:21:53.880 --> 00:21:57.160
one surprised me that it's the same
castle from the outside, but I guess

368
00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:03.390
that's because it's there. I think
from the outside they use models or other

369
00:22:03.549 --> 00:22:07.509
like sort of picture things. For
they definitely did like some sort of a

370
00:22:07.549 --> 00:22:12.750
lot of mats, because dairy Terry
Gilliam and says that they get clean plates,

371
00:22:14.029 --> 00:22:15.380
so they could do that. Okay, that makes sense. He's a

372
00:22:15.420 --> 00:22:18.500
painter too, I think so he
might. Yeah, he did all the

373
00:22:18.539 --> 00:22:21.859
animation for the film and for Flying
Circus. Oh, Gotcha. Okay,

374
00:22:21.900 --> 00:22:26.539
I like the animation. Now.
It was my favorite part of the movie,

375
00:22:26.619 --> 00:22:30.970
though. Yeah, that you mentioned
it. But this sequence is great

376
00:22:30.970 --> 00:22:34.930
because Galhad is so scared of these
these women and they're trying to like undress

377
00:22:34.930 --> 00:22:40.529
him in the bed bedroom and like
treat his wounds and he's just so nervous

378
00:22:40.569 --> 00:22:44.799
and scared. He's pure. Yeah, but then we get we get to

379
00:22:44.839 --> 00:22:48.160
the end where they where she's finally
like and then they oral sex happens and

380
00:22:48.279 --> 00:22:53.200
all of a sudden he's not here
anymore. Got To just have a little

381
00:22:53.200 --> 00:22:56.960
bit of peril. Oh yeah,
but then Sir Lancel a just inexplicably shows

382
00:22:56.960 --> 00:23:00.990
up with a couple of other nights
and rescues him. Yeah, quote unquote,

383
00:23:00.990 --> 00:23:04.549
rescues him. Rest is great,
because the conflict is at the beginning

384
00:23:04.750 --> 00:23:07.349
is like, Oh, why is
he come on, why is he so

385
00:23:07.470 --> 00:23:11.230
scared of this? And then it's
he finally embraces in. The conflict is

386
00:23:11.269 --> 00:23:15.339
he doesn't want to leave because lace
a lots here to save him. Your

387
00:23:15.380 --> 00:23:17.740
terrible peril, and I can't.
I just have a little bit of peril.

388
00:23:18.059 --> 00:23:21.180
No, I bet you're gay.
No, I'm not. The thoughts

389
00:23:21.220 --> 00:23:25.099
on this stuff, I mean on
the scene. Yeah, these women are

390
00:23:25.180 --> 00:23:29.569
great. Oh, yeah, we
don't. Those are so many. This

391
00:23:29.730 --> 00:23:33.009
is true. There's something in the
same that we ever talked about. That

392
00:23:33.089 --> 00:23:37.369
was just the fact that they won
they before, like they how do I

393
00:23:37.410 --> 00:23:40.650
say this? Like, I guess
I won't set it up, like they

394
00:23:40.690 --> 00:23:42.440
were just like cutting back to like
one, they come back to the Constitution,

395
00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:45.400
presidents, then the God. Then
like they start cutting forward to characters

396
00:23:45.440 --> 00:23:48.839
we haven't even met yet. Yeah, like we get the the old man

397
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:52.680
from scene twenty four. Oh,
yeah, when they're all like move along,

398
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:56.150
move along, get on with it. Yeah, you get on with

399
00:23:56.230 --> 00:24:00.390
it. We get the white shout
of all of the extras when they're in

400
00:24:00.509 --> 00:24:03.670
the very last scene of the movie. Yeah, I don't know like what

401
00:24:03.829 --> 00:24:07.150
the reason behind that was, but
I just loved it so much. Yeah,

402
00:24:07.430 --> 00:24:10.539
well, it's just absurdist comedy.
It's just funny. Yeah, it's

403
00:24:10.539 --> 00:24:14.339
true. Like every I guess the
fact that they're doing everything so absurd.

404
00:24:14.460 --> 00:24:18.420
They had so much wiggle room to
do pretty much whatever they wanted with and

405
00:24:18.859 --> 00:24:22.500
it would be accepted. Yeah,
as far as like form and structure goes,

406
00:24:22.660 --> 00:24:26.049
they didn't really have much limits on
their jokes that they could do.

407
00:24:26.410 --> 00:24:29.450
Yeah, I guess they did have
to keep it confined. They didn't want

408
00:24:29.450 --> 00:24:32.289
it to be stand out too much, like it had to like still flow

409
00:24:32.369 --> 00:24:34.970
within the story of the movie.
Yeah, but it worked it. It

410
00:24:36.130 --> 00:24:38.480
still worked for me. So then
the next sequences, the knee knights and

411
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:44.279
knee sequence, which they start here
and then they finish it at after so

412
00:24:44.359 --> 00:24:48.000
lancelot stuff, but I'd rather just
talk about it as one thing. Yeah,

413
00:24:48.039 --> 00:24:51.160
they start, that's I believe they
start with the old man with scene

414
00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:52.589
twenty four, the we have are
through. You're like you're talking to the

415
00:24:52.630 --> 00:24:56.150
man who was a telling them the
exact how to get to the grill.

416
00:24:56.230 --> 00:25:00.269
Like this is like the only bit
of useful information we get in the film.

417
00:25:00.309 --> 00:25:03.789
Yes, of it is just silly
adventures. Well, yeah, that's

418
00:25:03.789 --> 00:25:07.299
all everything you need to know before
the end. Yeah, exactly. Yeah,

419
00:25:07.339 --> 00:25:08.900
the grails behind this thing. You
got to find the old guy,

420
00:25:10.140 --> 00:25:12.059
gotta go through the Cave and then
you got to cross the bridge. Yeah,

421
00:25:12.259 --> 00:25:17.660
Terry Gilliam being nice and creepy.
Great makeup work on it. As

422
00:25:17.700 --> 00:25:21.420
the old man in twenty four,
I like that the ten disappears and he

423
00:25:21.569 --> 00:25:26.289
disappears. I like the way they
did that. It as works. Does

424
00:25:26.329 --> 00:25:30.730
set up that there is like magic
in this world of theirs. Yeah.

425
00:25:30.210 --> 00:25:34.609
So then after that, then we
find the knights of me Yep, which

426
00:25:34.690 --> 00:25:38.079
is just this is like probably one
of the most wackiest parts of the movie.

427
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:41.880
I think that they're so scared because
they're saying me, me, but

428
00:25:42.000 --> 00:25:45.480
it's so funny. I don't know, it just works. I want to

429
00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:48.119
know like the back story behind them. Like what did they do to like

430
00:25:48.680 --> 00:25:51.430
the village, like, because they
go to the village and then they start

431
00:25:51.509 --> 00:25:53.589
saying me and it's like taunting an
old lady. What are these knights of

432
00:25:53.670 --> 00:25:56.309
new do to this village? I
think they just said Ne a lot,

433
00:25:57.230 --> 00:26:02.309
but they've got a second quest now. So now King Arthur has to not

434
00:26:02.390 --> 00:26:03.420
just get a holy grail, but
now I used to get a shrubbery.

435
00:26:03.740 --> 00:26:07.140
Maybe the knights of me were just
like the equivalent of like your six year

436
00:26:07.180 --> 00:26:11.619
old cousin or nephew just keeps going
and then, yeah, then they run

437
00:26:11.660 --> 00:26:15.980
into the shrubber, which perfect convenience. I love that he says the word

438
00:26:15.059 --> 00:26:18.410
shrubber and shrubbery like ten times in
his introduction. Yeah, he's like,

439
00:26:18.450 --> 00:26:22.089
I am the shrubber. Shrubberies are
my trade. I work and do with,

440
00:26:22.210 --> 00:26:26.089
deal with shrubberies or whatever he says. I'm Roger The shrubber. Yeah,

441
00:26:26.690 --> 00:26:30.250
but the immediate reaction was like there's
just like a brief bit of silence

442
00:26:30.289 --> 00:26:34.279
and then sirbed of your just starts
going. Men like no, no,

443
00:26:36.039 --> 00:26:38.119
we know, yeah, we need
him. I forgot that. King Arthur

444
00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:41.000
has to stop him. Then we
get back to they go. That just

445
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:47.079
kind of like a white or one
of those. It has a very interesting

446
00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:49.509
transition. Okay, I didn't know. It's like likes of me, we

447
00:26:49.630 --> 00:26:52.430
brought you your shrubbery. Can we
go now? It's like I like what

448
00:26:52.509 --> 00:26:56.269
you've done of it. That I
definitely like the flower wagements, but now

449
00:26:56.390 --> 00:27:00.309
you need to give us another shrubbery. Want a little bit higher so we

450
00:27:00.349 --> 00:27:03.299
can have the two level effects.
Yeah, a little pathway, and then

451
00:27:03.380 --> 00:27:06.900
you need to cut down the mightiest
tree in the forest with a herring.

452
00:27:07.019 --> 00:27:10.259
And then that's where it's where Sir
Robin comes in. And then they start

453
00:27:10.339 --> 00:27:14.140
saying the word it. It yeah, which is I don't say it,

454
00:27:14.900 --> 00:27:18.809
now I'm saying it. It was
probably like a way they they wrote themselves

455
00:27:18.849 --> 00:27:21.609
into a corner, like how do
we get out of the Knights of Nice?

456
00:27:21.690 --> 00:27:25.210
Seen as like what do they just
had like their own Kryptonite for they

457
00:27:25.250 --> 00:27:27.930
had their own work, because they
use Kni and then they use Ikey Tiki

458
00:27:27.930 --> 00:27:34.119
Kwaki to Patang you. Yeah,
yeah, that was really clever and I

459
00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:37.039
remember thinking it taking me a while
to figure out that it was. It

460
00:27:38.000 --> 00:27:41.359
was the word. So I was
a little bit behind, like King Arthur

461
00:27:41.480 --> 00:27:45.869
was when I kid watched it.
They do say a quote like you can't

462
00:27:45.869 --> 00:27:48.670
get very far in life without saying
the word is. Then they figure out

463
00:27:48.789 --> 00:27:52.589
is it it? Yeah, can
you say get through life without saying the

464
00:27:52.630 --> 00:27:56.029
word it? I don't think you
can. We you can't. If you

465
00:27:56.109 --> 00:27:59.259
use proper nouns all the time.
Just say what something is. This is

466
00:27:59.339 --> 00:28:03.619
true, but I am what you
call Lazy. Yeah, I will use

467
00:28:03.700 --> 00:28:07.259
the word it to my advantage.
Oh yeah, I use it all the

468
00:28:07.339 --> 00:28:11.539
time. All right, now let's
talk about Lance a lot. Yeah,

469
00:28:11.579 --> 00:28:15.329
this this of all three of the
separate journeys, this one is my personal

470
00:28:15.369 --> 00:28:18.289
favorite. Oh, it's my favorite
as well as but I know everybody loves

471
00:28:18.369 --> 00:28:22.730
the clapping coconuts. By my favorite
running gag is him just repeating the shot

472
00:28:22.769 --> 00:28:26.640
of him running. Yes, so
that shot in particular. Like I said,

473
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:30.200
I saw this really young at that
kind of stuck in my mind as

474
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:34.200
like kind of breaking down or understanding
more about like what editing is. Yeah,

475
00:28:34.319 --> 00:28:37.200
you could just reply the same clip
over again and it's hilarious. He

476
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:41.710
keeps running up and not getting any
closer and then, of course they cut

477
00:28:41.750 --> 00:28:45.150
to the shot where he's there already. I've always wanted to like remake this

478
00:28:45.269 --> 00:28:51.269
shot in a movie of some sort. I'd just been looking for the opportune

479
00:28:51.309 --> 00:28:55.109
moment. I'm not lying. I
really want to remake do this. I

480
00:28:55.230 --> 00:28:59.740
worked on a on a web series
called that background guy, and in that

481
00:28:59.940 --> 00:29:03.099
we did like something pretty similar.
Somebody walks into a tent, but we

482
00:29:03.220 --> 00:29:06.220
just had him. We looped it
and did the same thing. It wasn't

483
00:29:06.220 --> 00:29:08.660
from a distance, so it didn't
work the same way, but it's definitely

484
00:29:08.700 --> 00:29:12.809
inspired by that. Before my parents
move layer there were no houses on the

485
00:29:12.890 --> 00:29:15.730
other side of the street. It
was just like foresk and it was like

486
00:29:15.809 --> 00:29:18.690
it was like a river ped so
that they couldn't develop there at all.

487
00:29:18.769 --> 00:29:22.329
So I was like, you know, if we just filmed on a my

488
00:29:22.450 --> 00:29:26.119
front porch shooting out that way,
I could film my like one of my

489
00:29:26.240 --> 00:29:30.079
friends doing that, yeah, and
recreate it. But last we moved a

490
00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:33.720
few years ago. So what thing
I learned about that shot particularly is a

491
00:29:33.839 --> 00:29:37.079
it was a pickup shot. The
apparently the one they shot in Scotland during

492
00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:41.190
initial production look too silly. Like
just imagine like silly, too silly for

493
00:29:41.230 --> 00:29:45.509
money. Pythont I pipe, like
just imagine like one. They shot it

494
00:29:45.589 --> 00:29:48.150
from like a higher angle. You
saw like more of the ground and then

495
00:29:48.190 --> 00:29:52.539
you see like John Kaliz just going
like this with yeah, kind of not

496
00:29:52.660 --> 00:29:56.980
doing like a silly walk, but
he was definitely doing so. So the

497
00:29:56.019 --> 00:30:00.940
run wasn't as serious as intense.
It was not intense. It was way

498
00:30:00.980 --> 00:30:03.059
out of character for Lance a loot. Okay, yeah, works better this

499
00:30:03.140 --> 00:30:07.130
way because the fact that he's like
intensely running really fast and then he's has

500
00:30:07.210 --> 00:30:11.250
to start over every time. Yeah, it's hilarious and I think there's even

501
00:30:11.289 --> 00:30:14.690
like a con newt or with her
first shot, because he was holding a

502
00:30:15.730 --> 00:30:18.650
shield and one hand where's and the
shot in the final version of the film

503
00:30:18.650 --> 00:30:22.559
he's just holding his sword and he's
just like in a full on sprint and

504
00:30:22.640 --> 00:30:26.480
then it matches really well when he
just like inexquickably shows up and stabs the

505
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:32.200
front gate guard. Yeah, so
to talk, to back up before Lancelot

506
00:30:32.240 --> 00:30:33.960
gets involved here, because there's another
sequence that I really like, which is

507
00:30:34.039 --> 00:30:37.670
the guards and then talking about guarding
them. I think Munty Python is great

508
00:30:37.750 --> 00:30:42.750
at this language humor. Yeah,
and like miscommunication. It was one of

509
00:30:42.750 --> 00:30:45.710
those gags were did add anything to
the story, but it was just a

510
00:30:47.789 --> 00:30:52.660
time waster, but it was it
was absolutely hilarious. That was like the

511
00:30:52.220 --> 00:30:56.099
in terms of like quoting the movie
verbatim. That was the scene like I

512
00:30:56.299 --> 00:30:59.180
struggle the most with, because it
was like we're where do they get to

513
00:30:59.220 --> 00:31:00.660
the part where they just like follow
behind him, like what are you doing?

514
00:31:00.740 --> 00:31:03.859
We're coming with you. Yeah,
it's almost at the very end.

515
00:31:03.940 --> 00:31:07.690
Yeah, it getting the timing of
that scene had been difficult because it's played

516
00:31:07.730 --> 00:31:10.210
out and just one why. Yeah, it's the why take, which I

517
00:31:10.250 --> 00:31:14.609
think is one of the reasons it
works so well. Yeah, I don't

518
00:31:14.650 --> 00:31:19.400
know. All the actors kept it
together during that. And then John Terry,

519
00:31:19.440 --> 00:31:26.000
I believe, plays the IT,
the prince. Yeah, add he's

520
00:31:26.039 --> 00:31:29.799
great in here when he shoots the
Arrow out and he writes, but,

521
00:31:30.000 --> 00:31:33.230
like you can tell, he's literally
there's no way he's writing words. He's

522
00:31:33.309 --> 00:31:36.549
just moving his hand on the paper. He's not even looking. Yeah,

523
00:31:36.549 --> 00:31:41.589
it's just lines. And then shoots
the air out, which it's just like

524
00:31:41.150 --> 00:31:45.589
doing. Yeah, no, like
real force or velocity behind that Arrow.

525
00:31:45.869 --> 00:31:49.099
No, that definitely just fell out
of the castle. But yet it flies

526
00:31:49.220 --> 00:31:53.299
right and across the field, across
the river, right into Lance. Lots

527
00:31:53.339 --> 00:31:56.500
buddies heart. Maybe there's something,
maybe there's a lot said about the prince.

528
00:31:56.579 --> 00:32:01.130
Maybe he is not just we always
you know he loves to sing and

529
00:32:01.289 --> 00:32:07.009
he loves musical and reforming, but
he must be a pretty good warrior if

530
00:32:07.049 --> 00:32:10.289
he can get an Arrow that distance
and make contact right in the dead center

531
00:32:10.410 --> 00:32:14.450
someone's chest. Yeah, I never
thought of it like that. I always

532
00:32:14.450 --> 00:32:16.400
thought it was just silly. No, it's one hundred scent silly, but

533
00:32:17.200 --> 00:32:21.319
I just like we're taking it any
bit seriously. It's like, wow,

534
00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:23.960
you gotta give that guy some credits, like he just has his priorities.

535
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:28.880
Oh, he's a chatman. That's
a world series of archery guy right there,

536
00:32:29.160 --> 00:32:31.309
absolutely just a little bit of training
got his form down a little bit

537
00:32:31.309 --> 00:32:35.230
better. Imagine how far he could
shoot that. But then this is the

538
00:32:35.309 --> 00:32:38.430
reoccurring gag about I'm not quite dead, I'm actually feeling good. Yep,

539
00:32:38.710 --> 00:32:42.309
but Lancelot is like, no,
I got to save this woman by myself.

540
00:32:42.869 --> 00:32:45.819
I think I can pull through.
And then lance a lot when he

541
00:32:45.859 --> 00:32:49.779
gets into the castle and just starts
mowing people down. It's actually really violent

542
00:32:49.859 --> 00:32:52.859
watching at this time, if not
played for a lot of gags. I

543
00:32:52.940 --> 00:32:57.220
mean it's it's kind of funny just
in the absurdity of it, but it's

544
00:32:57.259 --> 00:33:02.769
definitely like handheld and and jumpy and
like a lot of blood. A lot

545
00:33:02.769 --> 00:33:08.369
of people die, so many people, so much chaos and destruction. But

546
00:33:08.450 --> 00:33:13.039
it's hilarious when he gets finally gets
up to the top and realizes who through

547
00:33:13.079 --> 00:33:15.359
the Arrow and then all of a
sudden just doesn't care. Yep, and

548
00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:21.160
the dad seems to not care at
all about the sun. Just cut,

549
00:33:21.480 --> 00:33:24.200
like the sun just descends on like
his bed sheet rope. Then he's just

550
00:33:24.279 --> 00:33:28.630
like cuts it. Yeah, he's
like, come on, Lan's alot,

551
00:33:28.670 --> 00:33:30.589
let's go. Yeah, that's great, because it seems like he just cutting

552
00:33:30.630 --> 00:33:32.869
it and it doesn't realize that he
killed his son. But then when you

553
00:33:32.910 --> 00:33:36.869
get downstairs he's talking about how his
sons died. He's like, Oh,

554
00:33:37.230 --> 00:33:39.750
it's guy, just didn't care.
He just wants he wants money and wants

555
00:33:39.829 --> 00:33:45.900
the girl. Yep, he wants
a political alliance that land. And then

556
00:33:45.140 --> 00:33:50.460
lance alots favor because he's from camelot. And then the Sun comes back with

557
00:33:51.619 --> 00:33:54.059
with concord, the Guy Shot.
Yeah, light's lots of word. Who

558
00:33:54.140 --> 00:33:58.809
just explicably comes back without an Arrow
in his chest. Yeah, and then

559
00:33:58.890 --> 00:34:01.970
we get a musical sequence in which
our prins does not sing at all.

560
00:34:02.009 --> 00:34:05.970
If you notice, he's never he
never sings. He's so everyone else thinks

561
00:34:06.089 --> 00:34:08.730
he's. He sets it up and
then everybody else starts singing around him and

562
00:34:09.199 --> 00:34:14.119
he's like center stage. But yeah, we must cut away before the before

563
00:34:14.159 --> 00:34:15.559
he's supposed to sing, I guess. But yeah, that whole sequence is

564
00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:20.440
really funny to me. The we
have like as a long animation sequence where

565
00:34:20.440 --> 00:34:23.829
it was like kind of explaining how
the group got back together. They okay,

566
00:34:23.869 --> 00:34:27.829
yeah, because the very next time
we go back, cut back to

567
00:34:27.909 --> 00:34:31.670
live action, Arthur's crew has grown
to like an actual, like platoon of

568
00:34:31.789 --> 00:34:36.309
soldiers. Yeah, well, it's
like all back, everybody, all the

569
00:34:36.550 --> 00:34:39.059
main principle is back, and then
it's like a bunch of extras carrying back

570
00:34:39.099 --> 00:34:43.460
backs exactly. Yeah, and we
have a few other knights who weren't exactly

571
00:34:43.539 --> 00:34:47.340
like set up, but they are
all later killed, which will get to

572
00:34:47.380 --> 00:34:50.460
that scene when we get there.
But you know what's Oh, yeah,

573
00:34:50.940 --> 00:34:52.650
but this is the same we're introduced
to another one of Klease's characters, the

574
00:34:53.369 --> 00:34:57.130
wizard. Yeah, so, I
it took me a long time to realize

575
00:34:57.170 --> 00:35:00.090
this was Clie, and the only
reason I realized it is because there's a

576
00:35:00.090 --> 00:35:04.889
lot of over the shoulders and stuff
where you can see both parties talking to

577
00:35:04.969 --> 00:35:07.840
each other, and I kept looking
for so lance a lot and he's not

578
00:35:07.960 --> 00:35:09.880
there. He's weren't a helmet.
Yeah, I was like, why is?

579
00:35:10.159 --> 00:35:15.800
Why is lance a lot not there? Why can't I see John cleason

580
00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:16.880
the scene? And then I realized, Oh, it's because he's the wizard.

581
00:35:17.360 --> 00:35:21.710
But that's quite funny. When he's
exploding. That must have been like

582
00:35:21.829 --> 00:35:24.070
a decent amount of budget, because
they had fireworks going off and then like

583
00:35:24.230 --> 00:35:29.469
actual looked like real explosions. Yeah, had to be able bombs they planted

584
00:35:29.550 --> 00:35:31.909
at different places and then just had
them blow up when they pointed out him.

585
00:35:32.110 --> 00:35:35.739
I don't know like how much that
cost it. I don't know the

586
00:35:35.820 --> 00:35:38.980
specifics of what each and every little
thing cost this movie. It. Yeah,

587
00:35:39.139 --> 00:35:44.179
the only things you hear about is
they didn't have enough money for this

588
00:35:44.380 --> 00:35:46.099
thing, so they had to do
this other thing. But this wasn't like

589
00:35:46.179 --> 00:35:51.530
one of those scenes where it seems
there were any like budget cuts. Yeah,

590
00:35:51.809 --> 00:35:52.570
this scene, I think this is
where a lot of their money went,

591
00:35:52.650 --> 00:35:55.329
or some of their money went at
least. Oh Yeah, the funny

592
00:35:55.409 --> 00:36:00.130
thing is a I guess the wizard
supposed to have a much more long and

593
00:36:00.250 --> 00:36:04.090
complicator name, but least forgot it, so he just so that's why he

594
00:36:04.130 --> 00:36:05.920
went with him, that's why he
went with town. Well, that's a

595
00:36:05.960 --> 00:36:07.360
great joke. Because it sets it
up like you should have a long and

596
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:12.400
complicated name. Yeah, you should
have great sorceress, sorcery. He's got

597
00:36:12.440 --> 00:36:15.159
the goat ears, the long beard. He looks like Tim, but I

598
00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:19.429
know he's a Tim. Yeah,
well, I like that. So I'm

599
00:36:19.429 --> 00:36:23.909
glad that I please forgot that new
I one of the best mistakes he made

600
00:36:24.110 --> 00:36:29.070
in the movie. So then he
takes them. Sets it up like there's

601
00:36:29.110 --> 00:36:34.139
this most dangerous thing ever, like
what the most terrifying beast you will ever

602
00:36:34.260 --> 00:36:37.380
encounter? Yeah, to guarding this
cave. There's no way you're going to

603
00:36:37.460 --> 00:36:40.380
get in, but I'll take you
there anyway. And then, and then

604
00:36:40.380 --> 00:36:45.460
there's jokes about to robin peeing himself
and stuff, and then they realize,

605
00:36:45.500 --> 00:36:50.170
oh, it's a rabbit, it's
a rabbit, and they all make fun

606
00:36:50.210 --> 00:36:52.289
of him and Tim still holding his
ground. That you don't understand. It

607
00:36:52.329 --> 00:36:54.690
can jump, it's vicious, it's
got cause. And they're all like,

608
00:36:55.010 --> 00:37:00.489
didn't they send one of their,
I guess, expendable nights who joined the

609
00:37:00.730 --> 00:37:04.920
team in between, in between the
the adventures, Guy Name like boers,

610
00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:07.719
and he just gets demolished by the
by this rabbit. Oh yeah, jumps

611
00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:12.320
it jumps straight up and like cut
takes his neck off. Almost, I

612
00:37:12.400 --> 00:37:15.550
think it takes off all his limbs. Yeah, like a single swoops.

613
00:37:15.789 --> 00:37:20.829
It was intense. But yeah,
they got scared really quick and then they

614
00:37:20.869 --> 00:37:23.829
all run at it and then they
reoccurring. This is another thing I like

615
00:37:23.949 --> 00:37:28.789
about this is they have lots of
gags that reoccur. Is the runaway comes

616
00:37:28.829 --> 00:37:31.860
back, which I know is used
when the cows were shooting over all the

617
00:37:31.940 --> 00:37:36.059
farm animals were shooting over the thing. Yeah, run away run a Frenchman.

618
00:37:36.579 --> 00:37:39.500
Yeah, and they do it here
to like it's not retreat or anything

619
00:37:39.619 --> 00:37:43.940
like that, as runaways run away, and that's really funny. And then,

620
00:37:44.099 --> 00:37:46.690
which introduces us to they figure out
they got to use the holy hand

621
00:37:46.730 --> 00:37:51.489
grenade to blow this rabbit up,
and I love the little speech he does

622
00:37:51.650 --> 00:37:53.449
about the hand grenade and counting two
three. And what I love about this

623
00:37:53.489 --> 00:37:57.650
is they set it up, I
think a couple times earlier that King Arthur

624
00:37:58.050 --> 00:38:01.400
confuses five and three. He's like
send three nights out there something, or

625
00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:06.159
five nights and you mean three.
He says it earlier in the scene with

626
00:38:06.280 --> 00:38:08.880
the rabbit. He does he confuses
it. Yeah, and then he does

627
00:38:08.920 --> 00:38:12.480
it again, I think, earlier
in the movie. He definitely does it

628
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:15.190
again later in the movie, but
it is one of those have to like

629
00:38:15.389 --> 00:38:19.269
notice it. Yeah, like watching
enough times, you will see it,

630
00:38:19.389 --> 00:38:22.670
but you on Pon verse viewing.
I don't think I ever noticed it took

631
00:38:22.670 --> 00:38:24.789
a few years. Yeah, I
definitely didn't notice it the first time,

632
00:38:24.789 --> 00:38:28.900
but it's something I noticed this time. Well, I mean I noticed that

633
00:38:28.940 --> 00:38:31.099
he says five when he goes to
throw it. I mean three, which

634
00:38:31.139 --> 00:38:34.539
is it's a funny gag and works
in and of itself, but I like

635
00:38:34.739 --> 00:38:37.619
that they had set it up earlier. Yea, like a nonchalant thing that

636
00:38:37.699 --> 00:38:39.980
he gets those numbers confused. But
yeah, I just love this. Like

637
00:38:40.449 --> 00:38:44.610
five is way too far. You
should don't count to four, you know,

638
00:38:44.889 --> 00:38:46.889
don't count to two unless you're going
to then go to three. So

639
00:38:46.969 --> 00:38:50.210
then they blow up the rabbit,
which is nice, and then they go

640
00:38:50.369 --> 00:38:52.570
through the cave, and this was
one that I used to quote a lot.

641
00:38:53.809 --> 00:38:58.360
I remember made an impact on me
as a kid, is that the

642
00:38:58.480 --> 00:39:01.000
monster is chasing them with this animation
sequence. Yeah, which I like this

643
00:39:01.039 --> 00:39:05.599
animation sequence. It's fine, it's
funny. Another instance where they wrote themselves

644
00:39:05.639 --> 00:39:08.000
into a corner. Yeah, and
so they just well, they could have

645
00:39:08.039 --> 00:39:10.429
just walked through the cave. I
don't know why they needed another monster.

646
00:39:10.829 --> 00:39:15.349
They just killed one, but it's
funny. I guess better with it.

647
00:39:15.670 --> 00:39:17.230
I guess this one is a lot
bigger because I can pick them up with

648
00:39:17.429 --> 00:39:22.030
just its mouth. Yeah, which
is Great. And then I like that

649
00:39:22.190 --> 00:39:24.460
the heat dies because the animator had
a heart attack. Yep, that was

650
00:39:24.500 --> 00:39:29.900
other wrote themselves out of it and
they had they showed the animator like collapse

651
00:39:30.019 --> 00:39:32.219
over on the chair, which is
just a hilarious guy to me. That

652
00:39:32.340 --> 00:39:36.300
was another thing like, as a
kid, like the editing trick earlier and

653
00:39:36.380 --> 00:39:38.489
just the amount of fourth wall breaking
that they did. Yeah, I hadn't

654
00:39:38.489 --> 00:39:43.369
seen a lot of stuff like that
at the time, so this was so

655
00:39:44.010 --> 00:39:47.610
funny to me upon rewatching it.
They break the fourth wall a lot in

656
00:39:47.690 --> 00:39:51.210
the movie, but it felt like, as a kid, they was so

657
00:39:51.449 --> 00:39:54.880
like precisely done, like this was
just one of those moments where they cut

658
00:39:54.960 --> 00:39:59.760
to the real world, a real
man in a real profession and he just

659
00:40:00.760 --> 00:40:04.480
any kicks the bucket falls right over. Yeah, I mean the thing about

660
00:40:04.519 --> 00:40:07.389
this movie is there's not a lot
of real life steaks because they just keep

661
00:40:07.389 --> 00:40:09.710
breaking the fourth wall and they're like
uh, but it's a goofy movie which

662
00:40:09.750 --> 00:40:14.110
leads into the like, lends into
the comedy better that there's not steaks.

663
00:40:14.150 --> 00:40:15.989
You like, Oh, you can
get saints because an animator dies. Yeah,

664
00:40:16.190 --> 00:40:19.670
like Oh, yeah, cool.
So then once they get through this

665
00:40:19.869 --> 00:40:23.340
thing, they find the bridge.
Our old man from scene twenty four,

666
00:40:23.340 --> 00:40:28.579
yes as, returns, which is
great, guarding the bridge and I think

667
00:40:28.579 --> 00:40:30.340
they send lance a lot. First, originally it was Robin. Then he's

668
00:40:30.340 --> 00:40:31.940
like why does this Sir Lance?
I'll go. He's like, yes,

669
00:40:31.980 --> 00:40:35.539
I'll go, and he gets across
the bridge. Yeah, but I like

670
00:40:35.730 --> 00:40:37.610
its lance a lots like so I'll
run up there, I'll stab him and

671
00:40:37.650 --> 00:40:42.010
then I'll turn and run past the
bridge. CARTHUR's like no, just answer

672
00:40:42.050 --> 00:40:45.090
the questions. Yeah, dummy,
ready to fight all the time, which

673
00:40:45.170 --> 00:40:47.449
is a funny character. There'd be
fair if he actually did that. Would

674
00:40:47.530 --> 00:40:50.599
you have, like with the rest
of them, gotten like falling into the

675
00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:52.960
pit of doing or where they've just
been like okay, open bridge, I

676
00:40:53.000 --> 00:40:57.039
don't know, hey, let's at
it, or maybe the old guys like

677
00:40:57.119 --> 00:41:00.639
a wizard and he's what would have
happened is we would have missed out on

678
00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:06.670
the great other questions that come exactly
so Lancelot gets the most lay up questions

679
00:41:06.710 --> 00:41:09.710
ever. Yep, hidden jumpers with
nobody around him. Basically it was like

680
00:41:09.789 --> 00:41:14.590
what's your favorite color? Quest and
name, and then Sir Robin's up and

681
00:41:14.670 --> 00:41:17.820
he gets quest in name, but
then he also gets what's the capital of

682
00:41:17.860 --> 00:41:22.900
the Syria? Yeah, which I
don't even know what a Syria is.

683
00:41:22.539 --> 00:41:28.340
I was an old country in the
middle Middle East. I think it's not

684
00:41:28.420 --> 00:41:31.260
around anymore. I think it's a
new country. I don't know what it's

685
00:41:31.300 --> 00:41:36.530
in his place today. Okay,
that's I actually knew the capital at one

686
00:41:36.570 --> 00:41:38.690
point, but nice because you looked
it up after this movie. I did

687
00:41:38.769 --> 00:41:43.730
look it up. I wanted to
know the answers of the two obscure questions.

688
00:41:44.570 --> 00:41:46.050
Well, I'll ask you the other
one later then see I remember that

689
00:41:46.159 --> 00:41:50.199
one is it's her robin that goes
next time. Yes, the Robin.

690
00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:52.440
He just he sees how easy it
is. He just runs up eager.

691
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:55.599
He's like Oh, I finally one
that goes over. Yeah, yeah,

692
00:41:55.639 --> 00:42:00.480
I'm finally brave, I can do
this. And then Gal hads up after

693
00:42:00.559 --> 00:42:04.789
him and Galahad chokes jokes on the
open layup. No, no defense and

694
00:42:04.829 --> 00:42:07.750
he misses the shot. Is What's
your favorite color? Blue? No,

695
00:42:07.869 --> 00:42:10.349
yellow, exactly. It's like it's
greaves. He missed his shot at point

696
00:42:10.429 --> 00:42:15.550
blank range. Yeah, Oh wait, I remember the quick answer the first

697
00:42:15.550 --> 00:42:17.619
question. Yeah, it was Nineveh. That's that was a capital of Syria.

698
00:42:17.780 --> 00:42:21.820
Nineveh is the capital of the series. Yes, okay, Ninevah.

699
00:42:22.019 --> 00:42:23.500
Well, there you go, Robin. You should have got that. And

700
00:42:23.539 --> 00:42:28.659
then King Arthur goes up and his
questions are he gets the question rain.

701
00:42:28.900 --> 00:42:32.250
Yes, a name, and then
what's the average wing speed velocity of an

702
00:42:32.289 --> 00:42:37.250
all swallow? which best response ever. What do you mean African, European?

703
00:42:37.409 --> 00:42:39.409
Time back to the opening gag of
the film. In the reason they

704
00:42:39.570 --> 00:42:43.329
made this movie. Yeah, which
is great, because Arthur's kind of a

705
00:42:43.329 --> 00:42:45.679
dummy, but he listens. Yeah, when he when people say things,

706
00:42:45.719 --> 00:42:50.280
he learns. Uh, I gotta
know these things. Yeah, it was

707
00:42:50.519 --> 00:42:52.719
is a great quote call back.
That makes that whole beginning work really well.

708
00:42:52.840 --> 00:42:57.159
Yeah, and then he bridge keeper
doesn't know, so he flies over,

709
00:42:57.280 --> 00:42:59.829
which I wasn't expecting. That was
Hilarious, which, let's bet of

710
00:42:59.869 --> 00:43:02.150
ere go off free and clear to
walk across the bridge because there's nobody there.

711
00:43:02.230 --> 00:43:05.869
Yeah, so then they start looking
for Sir Lance a lot. Once

712
00:43:05.909 --> 00:43:08.469
they get past the thing, am
we get a shot of Sir Lancelot getting

713
00:43:08.469 --> 00:43:12.590
arrested on the COP car, which
I think we've seen the cops before and

714
00:43:12.710 --> 00:43:15.980
we saw them investigating the dead guy. Yeah, that killed earlier, which

715
00:43:15.019 --> 00:43:19.380
was another cutaway at some random point
in the movie. Yeah, it's we've

716
00:43:19.380 --> 00:43:22.980
already start started like setting up in
the movie that it is. It's a

717
00:43:22.420 --> 00:43:28.369
contemporary piece actually. Yeah, and
these guys are just goofballs. There's the

718
00:43:28.449 --> 00:43:32.849
biggest larp session you can find.
Yeah, so then King Arthur and ben

719
00:43:32.889 --> 00:43:36.809
in or finally get to the castle, which apparently is the same castle.

720
00:43:37.050 --> 00:43:39.170
It's nice. They came from the
other angle, the exterior of the castle.

721
00:43:39.289 --> 00:43:42.760
They think that were watch how they
use it. There's another castle on

722
00:43:42.800 --> 00:43:45.719
the other side of Scotland and it
looked exactly the same today. I've never

723
00:43:45.840 --> 00:43:49.800
been but I've seen pictures that were
like day to two years ago. It's

724
00:43:49.840 --> 00:43:52.320
still like just out in the middle
of like a lake or a lock.

725
00:43:52.679 --> 00:43:58.110
Yeah, what's what I love about
this sequence is another payback. Is the

726
00:43:58.349 --> 00:44:00.750
French guy that says we've already got
one is here at this castle guarding the

727
00:44:01.230 --> 00:44:07.070
Holy Grail. Yep, essentially he's
already got one. He's technically right,

728
00:44:07.269 --> 00:44:10.139
which was I think of all their
like callbacks and genius things like this wall,

729
00:44:10.139 --> 00:44:13.260
I was great. This one is
my favorite, is having the French

730
00:44:13.340 --> 00:44:17.059
guy back up here because King Arthur
just gets so mad and then he calls

731
00:44:17.099 --> 00:44:21.179
an army that we didn't know was. They're outside of the one we cut

732
00:44:21.179 --> 00:44:23.369
earlier and they say get on with
it, yeah, which was also just

733
00:44:23.449 --> 00:44:28.170
hilarious. I never they found all
these extras. That was the crew of

734
00:44:28.210 --> 00:44:30.730
the film. Really, there are
two sets of like extras. Actually,

735
00:44:30.769 --> 00:44:34.369
there was the crew of the film. Who are you seen like the white

736
00:44:34.409 --> 00:44:37.679
shot? Then they also just recruited
a bunch of students from Stirling University.

737
00:44:38.039 --> 00:44:42.840
Oh Nice. I don't know if
they got paid or not. It sounds

738
00:44:42.880 --> 00:44:45.880
like they didn't. Yeah, it
would make sense that give we got to

739
00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:49.079
be in Monty Python and the holy
there. They're really fans. They were

740
00:44:49.320 --> 00:44:52.389
all like kids in they're like nineteen, twenty years old. They probably saw

741
00:44:52.429 --> 00:44:55.510
it like as teenagers. Oh yeah, buying their parents orders, like Oh,

742
00:44:55.550 --> 00:44:59.829
this is upsurd and now it's funny. Yeah, I mean when I

743
00:44:59.869 --> 00:45:01.550
was in college, I would have
done it for free. I would have

744
00:45:01.590 --> 00:45:05.190
done it for free. It's just
like, I mean in Walmingtown was a

745
00:45:05.550 --> 00:45:07.500
film town. I was like,
yeah, I do anything get on a

746
00:45:07.579 --> 00:45:10.659
big movie set. Yeah. So
then they start to charge and then more

747
00:45:10.780 --> 00:45:14.940
cops and everybody shows up and they
all get arrested and then the movie.

748
00:45:15.219 --> 00:45:17.900
Yeah, genius, genius, way
to avoid showing a battle. UH,

749
00:45:19.500 --> 00:45:22.130
Yep. And then they fail at
their quest to get the holy grow and

750
00:45:22.210 --> 00:45:24.489
it's also they fail at being in
a time period. You know, yeah,

751
00:45:25.449 --> 00:45:28.570
you know, I'll be I'll be
honest, like between like the first

752
00:45:28.570 --> 00:45:31.170
time I watched in the second time
was it probably like a few years,

753
00:45:31.210 --> 00:45:36.800
because I don't think my parents liked
this movie all too much. Yeah,

754
00:45:37.159 --> 00:45:40.639
not their cup of tea, but
I obviously loved it. I forgot how

755
00:45:40.760 --> 00:45:44.639
the movie ended. I was like, wait, did they get the grill

756
00:45:44.880 --> 00:45:47.719
or do they just like amplvie fail
their quest? And then rewatching it's like,

757
00:45:47.840 --> 00:45:51.829
okay, not only did they fail, but this just like wraps up

758
00:45:51.949 --> 00:45:57.070
and beautifully. Yeah, because it's
right out of its seemingly right out of

759
00:45:57.110 --> 00:46:00.590
left field, but they had been
setting it up like the whole time it

760
00:46:00.710 --> 00:46:04.500
was great. Yeah, well,
the latter little setups. I think this

761
00:46:04.659 --> 00:46:07.380
movie doesn't get enough credit for the
the little build ups. Obviously, like

762
00:46:07.460 --> 00:46:12.300
the hilarious gags are great and everybody
talks about this, but I think it's

763
00:46:12.300 --> 00:46:15.380
really well structured, the way it
sets up all these little and then the

764
00:46:15.460 --> 00:46:17.500
punch sign and joke or payoff later
in the movie. Yeah, if you

765
00:46:17.570 --> 00:46:22.130
want to like have a seemingly well
structured film, just start write like a

766
00:46:22.210 --> 00:46:28.730
bunch of US setups and payoffs or
or callbacks, and then people will be

767
00:46:28.849 --> 00:46:30.969
like this, these guys are geniuses. How did they think of that?

768
00:46:31.329 --> 00:46:34.960
Yeah, it's like, well,
we had this joke about swallows and then

769
00:46:34.960 --> 00:46:37.239
we're like, oh, let's bring
that back. Yeah, let's just keep

770
00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:40.119
doing that job. Any other final
thoughts on this movie? I think it's

771
00:46:40.119 --> 00:46:44.880
absolutely brilliant. Would say it's underrated, because a lot of people, I

772
00:46:44.960 --> 00:46:46.710
meete, they love this movie.
Yeah, it's kind of a cult classic.

773
00:46:46.789 --> 00:46:50.869
It is a cult class for sure. I mean the ready player one

774
00:46:50.989 --> 00:46:52.630
did a whole big thing about it. They did. Do you ever read

775
00:46:52.630 --> 00:46:57.030
the book? Yeah, I that's
what I was referencing as the book.

776
00:46:57.030 --> 00:46:59.429
I don't actually I've seen the movie, but I don't really remember it.

777
00:46:59.630 --> 00:47:01.579
Most of my memory comes from reading
the book. Yeah, the movie is

778
00:47:01.900 --> 00:47:07.539
just gets like the skeleton of like
the book, but it changes basically everything

779
00:47:07.579 --> 00:47:09.420
else and money by the only thing
from Monty Python you get is the holy

780
00:47:09.500 --> 00:47:13.579
hand Grenaid. That's the only thing
that's in the movie. Yeah, Steven

781
00:47:13.659 --> 00:47:15.289
Spielberg must not be a money bipon
fan, because in the book, don't

782
00:47:15.289 --> 00:47:19.170
they have to like quote the whole
yeah, that's what he are scenes from

783
00:47:19.210 --> 00:47:21.329
the movie. Yeah, there's like
the three keys in the three gates and

784
00:47:21.329 --> 00:47:23.090
then the final gate is you have
to quote the movie. Yeah, one

785
00:47:23.130 --> 00:47:28.449
verbatim. I understand why they change
that front movie. It's not very cinematic.

786
00:47:29.329 --> 00:47:30.519
So do you think this is Monty
Python's best movie? What do you

787
00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:35.079
think? Oh, that's a tough
one, because I think I personally think

788
00:47:35.119 --> 00:47:40.360
so. That's my answer. But
it's like life of Brian was its own

789
00:47:40.639 --> 00:47:45.269
beast, because they finally got like
a little bit of a budget, not

790
00:47:45.389 --> 00:47:47.829
much more, but they did acquire
of at least a couple million bucks for

791
00:47:49.150 --> 00:47:53.389
that. Yeah, and it does
have actual commentary on religion. So they

792
00:47:53.869 --> 00:47:57.989
they had a lot of stuff driving
point of that movie and it didn't feel

793
00:47:58.030 --> 00:48:00.260
like they ever wrote themselves into a
corner. Yeah, there's much less animation

794
00:48:00.420 --> 00:48:04.460
in that one. Right outside of
the what do you call it? There's

795
00:48:04.460 --> 00:48:07.860
the opening sequence. Yeah, and
then there's like one sequence in the movie

796
00:48:07.900 --> 00:48:12.659
where Brian Inexplicably gets abducted by aliens. But then that seems over in thirty

797
00:48:12.699 --> 00:48:15.449
S, less than thirty seconds,
and that's all the animation in life of

798
00:48:15.530 --> 00:48:21.210
Brian. Yeah, I would say. I think to me, I think

799
00:48:21.329 --> 00:48:22.809
life of Brian might be the better
movie. It's been a longtime San I've

800
00:48:22.809 --> 00:48:27.130
seen it, but I think this
one is funnier and infinitely more re watchable.

801
00:48:28.000 --> 00:48:30.559
I agree. I think the gags
in here, the peak gags,

802
00:48:31.280 --> 00:48:36.480
are better and they're it's more consistently
funny. Versus I think life Brian is

803
00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:40.869
is smarter and a better made movie. I guess it's definitely like a much

804
00:48:40.909 --> 00:48:45.110
more, I guess, cinematic epic
compared to Holly Grill. Yeah, I'm

805
00:48:45.190 --> 00:48:49.110
surprised by the budget. I mean, re watching it, I did know.

806
00:48:49.269 --> 00:48:52.710
I mean there's no big set pieces
really and nothing super big, but

807
00:48:52.750 --> 00:48:55.500
it does definitely feels much more expensive
than what you were just driving. Yeah,

808
00:48:55.500 --> 00:49:00.699
you can do a lot the language
of cinema. You can really it

809
00:49:00.019 --> 00:49:05.420
probably helps you that. I would
be willing to bet the Monterrey Python crew

810
00:49:06.460 --> 00:49:08.179
on back end. I would be
willing to bet they didn't have really high

811
00:49:08.179 --> 00:49:10.969
salaries to make the movie. I
would agree with you. I don't know.

812
00:49:12.090 --> 00:49:15.210
I don't know how much are maybe, but I'm sure they're living comfortably,

813
00:49:15.570 --> 00:49:20.289
but not like crazy stupid rich.
Yeah, I'm sure they probably had

814
00:49:20.369 --> 00:49:22.369
some sort of outside help. Yeah, you so. He said they got

815
00:49:22.449 --> 00:49:25.440
their money independently. Right? They
music people, they did? They?

816
00:49:25.519 --> 00:49:31.119
Yeah, because they went to a
bunch of outside investors in Britain and America,

817
00:49:31.239 --> 00:49:35.440
but nobody would put up money for
the film. And they had the

818
00:49:35.519 --> 00:49:40.269
same problem with life of briant to
I guess they still even in four years

819
00:49:40.309 --> 00:49:46.070
after mighty python, the Holy Grail, they still didn't like a cure the

820
00:49:46.190 --> 00:49:52.750
success in the eyes of investors.
So they so they even for a life

821
00:49:52.789 --> 00:49:55.699
of Brian. They resorted to musicians
donating the money. Oh Wow, I

822
00:49:55.780 --> 00:49:59.980
think it was George Harrison who put
up the money for life of Brian.

823
00:50:00.500 --> 00:50:02.739
He put up two million for it. That checks out to me. I

824
00:50:02.820 --> 00:50:08.130
believe that all right, tough question
of the the night. Here's your favorite

825
00:50:08.130 --> 00:50:14.329
python, John Kleys. Yeah,
that's the right answer. That's mine too.

826
00:50:15.929 --> 00:50:19.449
He's just hilarious. Not only,
like has he like garnered so much

827
00:50:19.449 --> 00:50:23.599
success outside of Python, but I
thought like his his sketches in flying circus

828
00:50:23.679 --> 00:50:28.400
and his parts in the movies were
always like the standouts. Yeah, what

829
00:50:28.480 --> 00:50:30.440
helps is that he's very tall,
so he's like hard to miss. Yeah,

830
00:50:30.440 --> 00:50:34.719
he's much easier to recognize compared to
the other ones, I feel like.

831
00:50:34.840 --> 00:50:38.869
And then he's got like that expressive
face like he it just works for

832
00:50:39.110 --> 00:50:44.829
everything he does. You think this
is Terry Gilliam's best movie directed movie?

833
00:50:44.989 --> 00:50:46.670
Do you know what else has done? This was like his directorial debut.

834
00:50:46.710 --> 00:50:50.900
Yeah, even though he's codirecting.
Oh, he didn't do any of the

835
00:50:50.900 --> 00:50:53.340
other ones I see on here,
the other munty python movies. He didn't

836
00:50:53.380 --> 00:50:57.179
do look, a meaning of life, because I know, okay, I

837
00:50:57.300 --> 00:51:01.019
mean I know he definitely didn't do
a life of Brian because Terry Jones complained

838
00:51:01.219 --> 00:51:07.449
about not having soul creative direction.
Gotcha. Yeah, code directing comes with

839
00:51:07.530 --> 00:51:12.010
its issues. You got to be
two halves of the same coin. But

840
00:51:12.449 --> 00:51:15.650
because they're in nature, mightey python. They love collaborating. They had a

841
00:51:15.730 --> 00:51:21.320
hard time accepting somebody as a director. Yeah, that makes sense, even

842
00:51:21.320 --> 00:51:23.639
if what Terry Jones going to do? Did he do anything after python?

843
00:51:23.800 --> 00:51:27.800
Not that I'm aware. I think
he was just like an actor. He

844
00:51:27.960 --> 00:51:31.559
died very recently due to like Alzheimer's
or dementia. Yeah, it looks like

845
00:51:31.639 --> 00:51:35.389
he gots all credit for a meaning, a life and life and Brian he

846
00:51:35.550 --> 00:51:37.989
was still figure. He and Terry
Jones both were figuring out how to direct

847
00:51:37.989 --> 00:51:43.829
a movie on their first feature.
I've talked a lot about the below budget,

848
00:51:43.869 --> 00:51:45.429
because that's just like this is a
poor man's film. Yeah, I

849
00:51:45.469 --> 00:51:49.940
didn't realize how cheap I guess it
was very miserable making the film too.

850
00:51:51.139 --> 00:51:52.900
They were in Scotland and they had
where all that chain mail. It was

851
00:51:52.900 --> 00:51:58.099
always raining, nothing but John Cli
he's never talked well about the making of

852
00:51:58.219 --> 00:52:01.170
the movie. Oh well, well, there's an old saying that you know,

853
00:52:01.329 --> 00:52:04.610
the fun ory movie is to make
the worst the movie. Yes,

854
00:52:05.610 --> 00:52:07.329
that is true. It worked out
here. Yeah, we basically talked about

855
00:52:07.329 --> 00:52:10.929
everything I wrote down. I just
wanted to like remember that stuff. All

856
00:52:10.929 --> 00:52:14.650
right, cool, thanks for listening, guys. Yeah, that's fun.
