Episode 121: Farcical Aquatic Ceremony | Monty Python & the Holy Grail, Medieval History & the Arthurian Legend

Let us ride… to… CAMELOT! That’s right, listeners, we’re heading back to the Middle Ages and the time of King Arthur, his knights of the Round Table, the golden age of chivalry and virtue… on second thought, let’s not go to Camelot. It is a silly place. This week, we investigate the best, most accurate cinematic adaptation of the Arthurian Legend, Monty Python & the Holy Grail. From the origins of the legend to the history of the rivalry between England and France, we’ll explore the ways in which comedy can enlighten our understanding of the stories we hold most sacred. It’s only a flesh wound. Learn more about our upcoming Star Wars Funko Pop Giveaway(!) and subscribe to our partners the Pop Venture Family on YouTube.
