The 9:49 Show — The Early Late-Night Movie. Game show, late-night comedy and cult movie — all-in-one!

This week’s theme: RELIGIOUS SATIRE. Monty Python delivers the group’s sharpest and smartest satire of both religion and Hollywood’s epic films with the story of Brian Cohen, born in a stable in Bethlehem right next door to You-Know-Who. This week’s prizes for game show participants come from Tisberry, Rocco’s Pizza, and the MV Film Society.

Monty Python delivers the group’s sharpest and smartest satire of both religion and Hollywood’s epic films. Set in 33 A.D. Judea where the exasperated Romans try to impose order, it is a time of chaos and change with no shortage of messiahs and followers willing to believe them. At it’s center is Brian Cohen, born in Bethlehem in a stable next door, who, by a series of absurd circumstances is caught up in the new religion and reluctantly mistaken for the promised messiah, providing ample opportunity for the entire ensemble (Graham Chapman, John Cleese, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, Terry Jones and Michael Palin) to shine in multiple roles as they question everyone and everything from ex-lepers, Pontius Pilate and haggling to revolutionaries, crazy prophets, religious fanaticism, Roman centurions and crucifixion, forever changing our biblical view.lifeofbrian2

“Still holds up beautifully, as both pointed satire and silly, stakes-free comedy” -Ann Hornaday, WASHINGTON POST

“The greatest work of religious skepticism ever put on the screen.” -Ty Burr, BOSTON GLOBE
