Joing us this time is television writer, Review Review listener, and "White Men Can't Jump," appreciator, the wonderful Liz Ellis! The proper paperwork was filed with head office to have an open discussion  re: "Brazil" - (1985) Starring Jonathan Pryce, Ian Holm, Kim Greist, and Robert DeNiro. We three try to hit every parallel (KAFKA!) to Dir. Terry Gilliam’s funky, brutalist, 1984 allegory,  that is widely considered a sci-fi masterpiece. Will we agree? May depend which version you watch...

Plot: A bureaucrat in a dystopic society becomes an enemy of the state as he pursues the woman of his dreams.

First Time you saw the movie?

Plot:

In AD 932, King Arthur and his squire, Patsy, travel Britain searching for men to join the Knights of the Round Table. Along the way, Arthur debates whether swallows could carry coconuts, passes through a town infected with the Black Death, recounts receiving Excalibur from the Lady of the Lake to two anarcho-syndicalist peasants, defeats the Black Knight and observes an impromptu witch trial. He recruits Sir Bedevere the Wise, Sir Lancelot the Brave, Sir Galahad the Pure, and Sir Robin the Not-Quite-So-Brave-as-Sir-Lancelot, along with their squires and Robin's minstrels. Arthur leads the knights to Camelot, but, after a musical number, changes his mind, deeming it "a silly place". As they turn away, God appears and orders Arthur to find the Holy Grail.

Arthur and his knights arrive at a castle occupied by French soldiers, who claim to have the Grail and taunt the Britons, driving them back with a barrage of barnyard animals. Bedevere concocts a plan to sneak in using a Trojan Rabbit, but no one hides inside it, and the Britons are forced to flee when it is flung back at them. Arthur decides the knights should go their separate ways to search for the Grail.

A modern-day historian filming a documentary on the Arthurian legends is killed by an unknown knight on horseback, triggering a police investigation.

Arthur and Bedevere are given directions by an old man and attempt to satisfy the strange requests of the dreaded Knights Who Say "Ni!" Sir Robin avoids a fight with a Three-Headed Knight by running away while the heads are arguing amongst themselves. Sir Galahad is led by a grail-shaped beacon to Castle Anthrax, which is occupied exclusively by young women, who wish to be punished for misleading him, but he is unwillingly "rescued" by Lancelot. Lancelot receives an arrow-shot note from Swamp Castle. Believing the note is from a lady being forced to marry against her will, he storms the castle and slaughters several members of the wedding party, only to discover the note is from an effeminate prince.

Arthur and his knights regroup and are joined by three new knights, as well as Brother Maynard and his monk brethren. They meet Tim the Enchanter, who directs them to a cave where the location of the Grail is said to be written. The entrance to the cave is guarded by the Rabbit of Caerbannog. Underestimating it, the knights attack, but the Rabbit easily kills Bors, Gawain and Ector. Arthur uses the "Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch", provided by Brother Maynard, to destroy the creature. Inside the cave, they find an inscription from Joseph of Arimathea, directing them to Castle Aarrgh.

An animated cave monster devours Brother Maynard, but Arthur and the knights escape after the animator unexpectedly suffers a fatal heart attack. The knights approach the Bridge of Death, where the bridge-keeper demands they answer three questions in order to pass or else be cast into the Gorge of Eternal Peril. Lancelot easily answers simple questions and crosses. Robin is defeated by an unexpectedly difficult question, and Galahad fails an easy one; both are magically flung into the gorge. When Arthur asks for clarification on an obscure question about swallows, the bridge-keeper cannot answer and is himself thrown into the gorge.

Arthur and Bedevere cannot find Lancelot, unaware that he has been arrested by police investigating the historian's death. The pair reach Castle Aarrgh, but find it occupied by the French soldiers. After being repelled by showers of manure, they summon an army of knights and prepare to assault the castle. As the army charges, the police arrive, arrest Arthur and Bedevere for the murder of the historian and break the camera, ending the film.

TOP 5​

1: Done on an incredibly small budget, the Pythons found funding from an unlikely sources—rock bands. Groups like Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, and Pink Floyd helped get the money up for the production, with a portion of the funds coming from the Floyd’s album “The Dark Side of the Moon.” This is a trend that would continue later with The Life of Brian, when a large portion of the funding came from former Beatle George Harrison. When Harrison was asked why he funded the film, he responded “Because I wanted to see it.”

2: The film also represents the directorial debuts of both Terry Jones and Terry Gilliam, who decided that anyone named Terry got to direct the Pythons’ first film. Attempting to co-direct at the same time led to conflicts, so the Terrys split up the responsibilities with Jones handling the actors while Gilliam worked on the cinematography. They’d go on to direct the remaining Python films together and Jones would additionally direct Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, while Gilliam’s lengthy directorial career would include such artistic classics as The Fisher King, Brazil, Time Bandits, Twelve Monkeys, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus, and more.

3: The vicious Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog had parts of its fur dyed red to represent the blood of the knights that it spilt with its large, pointy teeth. Unfortunately, the dye used wouldn’t wash out afterwards and the rabbit’s owner was furious.

4: By the time the Pythons actually got around to doing the credits, they’d run out of money. As a result, the credits were very simple and Palin decided to spice them up a bit by adding the Swedish subtitles and llama references. When the film was shown for the first time at Cannes, firemen rushed in at the end of the credits to evacuate the audience due to a bomb scare. The crowd didn’t leave at first because they thought it was part of the show.

5: n part due to the low budget, Chapman and Cleese did all their own stunts for the Black Knight scene. The two used heavy swords and some acrobatics for added realism. Connie Booth had brought her and Cleese’s young daughter to the filming, who during the fight turned to her mum and said “Daddy doesn’t like that man, does he?”

In the thirty-fifth episode of Season 7 (Fantastical Realities) Kyle is joined by a panel of guests, musician Ben Childs, screenwriter August Gummere, and fellow cinephile Jordan Berry, to discuss Terry Gilliam's wondrous epic about the extravagant exploits, stories, and lies of the fabled eponymous nobleman in The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (1988).

In the twenty-seventh episode of Season 7 (Fantastical Realities) Kyle is joined by stunt coordinator Danny Hernandez and screenwriter August Gummere to discuss the dedication to nonsense and absurdism as it relates to the regressive Dark Ages in the very loose yet inspired adaptation of Lewis Carroll in Terry Gilliam's Jabberwocky (1977).

For the first time in Hit Factory history, we're recording from separate locales to discuss Terry Gilliam's 1991 fantasy drama 'The Fisher King'. We discuss the bevy of brilliant performances (including an Oscar-winning turn from the great Mercedes Ruehl), Gilliam's singular ability to effortlessly navigate his film's disparate tones, and the subversive empathy the film employs in its consideration of people who occupy the margins of society.

Neste Cinetendinha, entra-se por dentro de ‘O Homem que Matou Dom Quixote’, de Terry Gilliam. Rui Pedro Tendinha esteve em França com a equipa do filme e recolheu testemunhos elogiosos de Adam Driver, o protagonista, sobre Portugal. Esta coprodução portuguesa estreia finalmente no nosso país, depois de muita luta em tribunais. A brincar, Jonathan Pryce, outro dos atores, falou das possibilidades de Joana Ribeiro como estrela europeia: “não tem hipóteses”. Neste shot de cinema há ainda tempo para as primeiras imagens de ‘Portugal de Deus’, sci-fi british com Phil Davis.

Actrice Rachella Kingswijk woont sinds 2015 in Parijs en is al sinds jaar en dag dol op geschiedenis en duistere verhalen. 

Rachella speelde in Nederland als actrice in diverse films en series, acteerde in de horrorshows van Boom Chicago, The Amsterdam Dungeon en schreef een goed ontvangen one-woman-show over mensenhandel. 

De grote rollen kwamen echter pas in Parijs, nadat zij afstudeerde aan de prestigieuze theaterschool Jacques Lecoq.  

Rachella werkte voor l'Opéra National de Paris met regisseur Terry Gilliam van Monty Python en speelde als actrice in diverse Shakespeare-voorstellingen.

Ook heeft Rachella net haar eerste rol in een Amerikaanse film gedraaid. Daarnaast is ze ook nog poppenspeler en in die rol manipuleerde zij de titelrol in de opera Aida, onder regie van Lotte de Beer & Mervyn Millar. 

Al haar liefdes komen samen binnen haar bedrijf Freaky Tours Paris: de eerste én enige Nederlandstalige horrortour van Parijs!

Terry Gilliam is serving up Bruce Willis in a full-body condom time-traveling to 1990s Philly to hang out with a wild-eyed Brad Pitt? And America says... Yes please! We love it! 

'12 Monkeys' probably shouldn't work on any level, but it was a critical and box-office hit that changed sci-fi filmmaking and Hollywood as a whole. It also evolved how we tell time travel stories with a fascinating approach to time loops. We dig into all of that, the French short film 'La Jetée that inspired this script, and our favorite tracks from "The Return of Bruno" (okay, maybe not that last part), as break down this modern classic about a dozen or so primates!

Inspired by Peter Andre's mistaken feeling that Sidey hates Robin Williams, we revisited The Fisher King.

The film tells the story of a radio shock jock who tries to find redemption by helping a man whose life he inadvertently shattered. We also get to see Robin Williams penis. So something for everyone in this movie really.

We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it. If it hasn't been completely destroyed yet you can usually find us on twitter @dads_film, on Facebook Bad Dads Film Review, on email at baddadsjsy@gmail.com or on our website baddadsfilm.com.

Until next time, we remain...
