Episode 11: "Monty Python's Life of Brian"

Have you seen the news lately?

Have you seen Twitter lately?

Have you felt sad or scared or just plain pissed off lately?

Your feelings are valid. The world is weird. All we can offer you is the wisdom of Eric Idle:

If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten!
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing,
When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps,
Just purse your lips and whistle -- that's the thing!
And always look on the bright side of life
Come on!
Always look on the bright side of life
For life is quite absurd,
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow!
Forget about your sin -- give the audience a grin,
Enjoy it, it's the last chance anyhow!

If you’re not ready to laugh and smile and dance and sing, that’s valid too. Still, you don’t have to go it alone. Listen below to the latest episode of Anglophilia. We’ll keep you company while you brush your teeth and do your dishes. And hey, if our discussion of Monty Python’s Life of Brian makes you feel at all better, then our work here is done, son.
