Overview
Broadcast by the BBC between 1969 and 1974,Ā Monty Pythonās Flying Circus introduced something completely different: a new brand of surrealistic, stream-of-consciousness comedy that pushed the traditional boundaries of format, style, and content. Blending brilliant satire with slapstick silliness, The PythonsāGraham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palināspoke to a generation eager to break free of the conventional. Making their way across the Atlantic and the world, the Pythonsā zany approach to comedy would have a monumental influence on modern popular culture, paving the way for farcical entertainment from Saturday Night Live to The Simpsons to Austin Powers.
In Monty Python Speaks, David Morgan has collected interviews with Monty Pythonās founding members, actors, producers, and other collaborators to produce a no-holds-barred look at the Pythonsā legendary sketches and films, including Monty Pythonās Life of Brian, Monty Python and the Holy Grail (the inspiration for the hit Broadway musical Spamalot), and The Meaning of Life.
