| 0:00.0 | Hi this is Steve. People often ask us how do we decide what movies get the full |
| 0:05.6 | two-part treatment on the cinnophiles? Well sometimes it's obvious. Seven Samurai |
| 0:10.7 | is not only one of the greatest films ever made, but it also happens to be three and a half hours long. |
| 0:16.0 | Other movies like Chinatown are on the waterfront are shorter, but are also so significant in the history of film that we know ahead of time that they will stretch into two |
| 0:24.6 | episodes. However, sometimes we assume our conversation about a film is going to be one episode, |
| 0:30.4 | then have so much fun talking about it that we suddenly realized well over two hours |
| 0:34.8 | have passed. That was certainly the case yesterday when we dug into Monty Python's |
| 0:39.0 | The Life of Brian, in honor of the great Terry Jones who we lost a few weeks ago. |
| 0:43.0 | Now this is a 90 minute comedy, not exactly the film we expected to be a cinephiles two-parter. |
| 0:49.0 | But the truth is, this 90-minute comedy has more to say than most big dramas and more controversy than just about any film in recent memory |
| 0:58.6 | And yes, this is a film that takes the razor-sharp wit of Python and uses it to cut through what they see as the hypocrisy of what many people find sacred. |
| 1:09.7 | So if you're brave enough, I highly recommend a pilgrimage to cinnophiles.net where you can buy or |
| 1:16.2 | stream Life of Brian along with every other movie we've ever reviewed. |
| 1:21.0 | Then come back on Friday to hear us discuss money Python's, the life of Brian. |
| 1:26.2 | We'll leave it up to you to decide if it's heretical, blasphemous, or just plain funny. |
| 1:31.1 | All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, |
| 1:37.7 | rows, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us? |
| 1:43.0 | Hello and welcome to |
| 1:50.0 | Hello and welcome once again to the cinnophiles where each week we enter the world of a great film |
| 1:54.5 | We explore its themes the history the filmmaking and the influence it has on us today |
| 1:58.5 | My name is Steve Morris. I'm a filmmaker in directing instructor in Los Angeles |
| 2:02.0 | California. |
