Monty Python: The Minecraft Movie for adults?

Monty Python: The Minecraft Movie for adults?

Kermode & Mayo's Extra Takes · 2025-05-01

Amidst all the ‘Slade in Flame’ excitement this week, we asked for your most believable fictional bands onscreen for One Frame Back—and you turned it up to 11. From a stacked bill that runs from Spinal Tap through to Scott Pilgrim, Mark picks his headliner. Bonus review this week of ‘Where Dragons Live’—a curious doc about a family clearing out their grand but crumbling childhood home after the deaths of their exceptionally peculiar parents. And along with the Slade film, there’s another big 50th anniversary in town—it's ‘Monty Python and the Holy Grail’, so go and boil your bottom, you son of a silly person. Mark and Simon revisit this endlessly quotable classic and ask—will putting this back on the big screen prove it’s ‘the Minecraft Movie for adults’? Plus, the Good Doctors get lost in the multiverse, but still find their way back to recommend you all the best films on TV this weekend in the Watchlist and Notlist, and answer Questions and Schmestions on everything from needle drops to ‘socialist fantasy’...
