Grab your coconuts and a nice shrubbery, because a 24-hour marathon of Monty Python and the Holy Grail is going to be streaming on Shout! TV all day on Saturday, June 21, in celebration of the classic comedy’s 50th anniversary.
Not only are fans going to be able to watch Monty Python and the Holy Grail non-stop throughout the day, but Shout! TV is going to feature exclusive clips from John Cleese, Terry Gilliam and Michael Palin reflecting on the making of the movie and its lasting impact.
Perhaps the best news of all is that Shout! TV is a free streaming service, though it does have membership plans for $4 per month if you want to avoid ads (a seven-day free trial is available if you want to try it out before committing to a monthly charge). You can watch the 24-hour marathon on the service’s Shout! TV and Shout Movies site, as well as its Shout! TV app.
Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the comedy troupe Monty Python’s hilarious take on the legend of King Arthur. Featuring Cleese, Palin, Graham Chapman, Eric Idle, Gilliam and Terry Jones in various roles (including co-directors for the latter two), the movie brings Monty Python’s signature wit and silliness as Arthur and his band of knights set about looking for the Holy Grail, getting into all kinds of misadventures along the way.
