Nobody was going to give them the money they needed to make that movie until they showed a beatle the script and he thought it was funny. It’s true that confluence of events couldn’t happen today but it’s because practically nobody gets rich for being in a band anymore. Le wokisme didn’t cause that!

the pissiness about them mocking Christ, though. although that wouldn't get called woke because that's something that "good" white people care about, unlike gay shit like human rights or genocide.

not to mention by making Life of Brian they created an environment where that kind of subversion isn't all that necessary anymore (see also Blazing Saddles). It broke new ground and served its purpose.

that's an EXCELLENT point
