What happens when you take two graduates of Oxford, three from Cambridge, and one from Occidental College and put them in a room together?
Evidently you get one of the silliest, and most influential, comedy troupes in
history.
Monty Python's Flying Circus is culturally ubiquitous. You may not have a favorite sketch or performer, you may have never seen a show or a movie, but, odds are, you have at the very least heard of them.
After 45 episodes, four movies, 19 albums, countless books, documentaries, TV specials, and stage performances The Pythons have become an undeniable part of the worlds comic landscape.
This week we take the time to look at the film work of one Jim and Clarkson's shared obsessions.

Character actors are the unsung heroes of the film industry. Everybody knows the stars, hell, we're obsessed with them. The ones who make millions per movie and have the various and sundry details of their private lives splashed on the covers of magazines.
But the working actors who create the interesting small roles, they are the ones that make the movies we love worth loving.
This week we take a look at some of our favorite character actors and talk about what makes them so memorable.

Who is the most imitated celebrity on the planet?
Probably Jack Nicholson. But Chris Walken comes in a very close second. There is just something about the man.. He embodies a mix of coolness, talent, and straight out bizarreness that is rare to come by in this world.
So join us in our look at one of the most recognizable actors in the world.
