The Holy Grail is basically the Holy Grail of points of comparison for very valuable things that are also extremely hard to find. Indiana Jones found it, of course, but he had to leave it where it was so that doesn’t count, especially since, even before our favorite archeologist cracked his first whip, the grail was the subject of much interest among medieval kings and scholars. One such noted medieval scholar was Monty Python, a guy (or possibly a group of guys, only your dad knows for sure) who was more hijinks-prone than a Loony Tune. His/their most famous hijinks? Those that transpired in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, a 1975 comedy directed by Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones. This farcical series of thinly connected sketches has seeped so far into the culture that it’s probably hit bedrock by now so join Nathan and Elliot as they do some cultural excavation to examine this nostalgic hit of classic comedy for you lily-bottomed nincompoops. Now go listen to the episode or I shall taunt you for a second time!
