I saturated out on Monty Python years ago (after a 24-hour Monty Python marathon) but this movie is still a gem. The scene with Denis the Constitutional Peasant (https://notallwhowanderarelost268.wordpress.com/2018/04/08/m...) is absolute genius parody of socialism and republicanism (hope that's the right term).

And similarly the scene with the various anti-Roman groups that hate each other more than they hate the Romans in Life of Brian was a brilliant satire of how rival progressive groups acted in the 1960s and 1970s
