Welcome to a very merry and irreverent holiday episode of Trees in Space! This week, hosts Nate and Jason deck the podcast halls with the hilariously blasphemous classic, Monty Python’s Life of Brian. With Nate’s questionable history teacher VHS recommendations (don’t worry, he was 18—barely legal), and Jason’s newly shaven face (is there a colder mug in podcasting?), the duo bravely unwraps every absurd, politically incorrect, and surprisingly forward-thinking gag from the 1979 comedy.
From aliens randomly abducting Brian mid-movie (seriously, why was that ship flying by?!), to the legendary “Biggest Dickus” and the eternal debate of gourd vs. sandal, they roast—sorry, “review”—everything that makes Life of Brian a perennial cult favorite and an unintentional Christmas movie (thanks, wrong address-wise men).
Along the way, you’ll hear nostalgia, heated stump bumps (don’t ask, but somehow it involves nudity), and a smattering of serious hot takes about the film’s not-so-subtle jabs at religion, politics, and the many forms of human ridiculousness. If you’ve ever wondered why critiquing ancient Rome feels eerily familiar, or just want a good laugh courtesy of Monty Python’s holy chaos, get your holiday cheer (and maybe subtitles) ready! This episode is equal parts smart, silly, and satirical—and always looks on the bright side of life.
