  1. > Cleese, 84, has also been outspoken about his money troubles in later life—in his case related to expensive divorce costs—and recently starred in his own woke-bashing TV show on the U.K.’s Fox News-esque channel, GB News.

    Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

    Or he was always like this and his public persona was not reflective of how he was in private, idk.

  2. Eric Idle wrote a lot of great songs. His roles as the singer in Life of Brian and Meaning of life are iconic.

  3. *“Apparently Cleese has cut the song,” Idle said, referring to the crucifixion comedy classic which closed the film version, “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.” “Of course.”*

    This is the hardest to believe, it buttons up the whole show for Brian’s sake. IDK how their deal is structured, Cleese, Palin, and Gilliam might be able to ‘out vote’ Idle? At which point, do they really want to go to war with a fellow Python, hobble the whole show?

  4. *”Idle also said he’d sold his house last year but didn’t hold back when sharing his thoughts on the possibility of doing a Netflix documentary looking at the rise and fall of Monty Python to raise cash. “Fuck Netflix and fuck documentaries,” he wrote. His five-bedroom home in the Hollywood Hills was listed for sale for $6.5 million last year, according to The Wall Street Journal.”*

    $6.5m? That’s more money than most typical people have in retirement. Doesn’t sound like he’s in the poor house.

  5. Palin is probably the only sane one now. Cleese and Gilliam are nutters
