I’m Not Quite Dead Yet – “Monty Python And The Holy Grail” Turns 50

AMAZING VIDEO VERSION: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWvaQ1duFhE

HAPPY SUMMER KICK-OFF everyone! After the half-year we’ve all had, you all definitely deserve some time off... and a few laughs to boot. We have your new favorite – and funniest - beach listen right here. How does one of the cheapest, ultra-low budget comedy movies of all time become a billion-dollar franchise? We’re gonna tell you! As every movie studio in the world refused to finance this movie in 1974, the 6 young (then) Monty Python boys turned to top English rock/pop acts for seemingly hopeless angel investments. These bands essentially financed most of the film’s tiny budget. The investors included: Elton John, members of Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, and Jethro Tull. Who knew in 1975 that all these folks would eventually receive tens of $$millions in royalty checks? While “Holy Grail’s” ridiculously short 5 week production was extremely unlikely for a feature film, it went onto shape what we think of as comedy in 2025.

So, slather on the sunscreen, feel the wet sand on your toes, the warm gamma rays on your face, and prepare to be entertained by your friends at Scandal Sheet.
