This time round, Antony and Luke look at the flawed smorgasbord of ideas that is 1983\u2019s \u2018Monty Python\u2019s The Meaning of Life\u2019, going scene-by-scene through the good, bad, ugly, extremely violent, completely gross and filler, and trying to find just what ismissing from this Python outing that made the previous two films close to flawless masterpieces (actually we say it right at the beginning but don\u2019t tell anyone\u2026)  In this part we give our general opinions of the film and look at some of the early scenes, so expect to hear about elderly pirates, sacred sperms and French ticklers. This is preceded by a bit of Python\/Beatles comparisoning (that may not be a word) for our crossover audiences  Make your own mind up, even though I\u2019ve already told you what to think\u2026  Most of all, enjoy!
