Monty Python and the Holy Grail (w/ Zachary Marlow)
About this episode
Rivka and Frank are joined by radical filmmaker and organizer with Moneyless Society, Zachary Marlow, for a silly-voiced conversation about the 1975 comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail. They discuss how the Pythons used comedy to speak truth to power within British society, the transformation of feudalism into capitalism into what some are now calling “neo-feudalism,” and why Dennis the peasant has better politics than God.
For next week’s movie, we’ll be watching Frank’s spooky season favorite, The Cabin in the Woods.
