The person who recommended this is an all-time, S-tier patron.

I crack up every-time I watch this. “I’m not dead, I feel just fine”! 😂 my brother and my niece both have tattoos of swallows carrying coconuts in their beaks. People are either confused about it or love it because they know the reference. 🐦‍⬛🥥

Oh YEAH BABY here we bloody go. Amazing film, love it, adore it. Monty Python's The Meaning of Life is a MUST for you to watch, I think you would find it a great laugh. Also, yes John Cleese is one of the founding members of Monty Python :D.

2026-09-19 23:00 Just to answer your question at the top. Back in the day movies had the credits in the beginning. Until the first Star Wars movie it was rare for a movie not to have the credits in the beginning. After Star Wars it became the norm to put them at the end.

I absolutely love Monty Python…”Life of Brian” next. Awesome reaction.

Jakob

Still haven't seen Life of Brian, myself. So if you are going to encounter any more Monty Python in the future, count me in!

Okay, brother Boyd, let's get into some human lore. You're right that the elderly woman appears in many, many mythologies, including the infamous "night hag syndrome" of sleep paralysis that I've personally dealt with. There's also the "werewolf," in which "wer" means "man." Some cultures don't even have a female equivalent to a vampire. Supernatural objects of terror take on the aspects of our own fear, so a woman becoming old and unattractive or a man becoming dangerous and violent are really the same ancient tales. Different cultures have their unique spin on these gendered monsters, as well.

The co-directors are members of Monty Python. John Cleese was a member of Monty Python. Terry Gilliam the director went on to direct several solid movies. I'm sure you have already had requests to watch 12 Monkeys or Fear & Loathing. In Grail he is playing Arthur's squire clomping the coconuts. Monty Python was a British sketch comedy troupe in the 70s that became popular here in the US on PBS. People will push for you to watch Life of Brian but swim against the current. Watch The Meaning of Life.

Call me Lilly, Lilith if ya Nasty.

It was even in some guild bylaws. The directors guild actually forbade Steven Spielberg from working with Lucas on Return of the Jedi (his first pick for director) because George refused to put the credits before the opening crawl.

Are you suggesting machete order?

David Nettles

I think the director style it reminds you of is Mel Brooks. I think he drew a lot of inspiration from them

Your Mother was a hamster, and your Father smelt of Elderberries! One of my favorite lines

lol. This isn't Star Wars. No sequels. All stand alone films. I guess watching them in order you can see the budget increase as well as the direction and cinematography gets better.

Monty Python's Flying Circus. Not sure if they actually invented 'British Absurdist Comedy', but they certainly codified it. Which is ironic since the troupe's originally stated goal was to produce absolute nonsense that would have no cultural relevance whatsoever.

They famously ran out of money before the end of shooting, so they just ended it.

Good old Monty Python, no matter how many times you watch their movies, they are all just really good.

Alyssa Dyson

Lmao i loved how confused you were at the start.

Phillip Goad

Not only did they end it, the ending is the literal definition of a cop out.

CynicalDruid

Run away run away run away !!! I love that movie lol

John A Maxwell

Arthur and his knights were framed. The knight who killed Frank the Famous Historian was mounted.

"What....... Is the capital of Assyria?"🤣

As you may have noticed in the intro, the monty python guys were strangely obsessed with Scandinavia for some reason😂

The Mercia Arthur refers to is the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia located in what is today middle England 🤓

Mike Melnick

Never been able to get all the way though this one until I watched it with you. Thanks!

So fun fact, Monty Python's flying circus, (which was the TV show in the UK back in the 70s) the ending of this movie, is a call out to that. Some of their skits would end with the police coming in and ending the skit.
