For you, and for the reactor, I suggest the brilliant 1980 version of the 1880 operetta, Th e Pirates of Penzance (starring Kevin Kline, Linda Rondstadt, and Angela Lansberry). Kline's athletic Pirate King is just one of many brilliant characters in this performance. For example, here is the LOUDEST ever song about sneaking silently through the night. kzread.info/dash/bejne/iZh-yZh9pd3glpc.html

One of my favorites. The four. Kline, Curtis, Cleese and Palin did another film nearly a decade later in '97. A comedy/farce set at a zoo called 'Fierce Creatures'. It didn't get the buzz of 'Wanda', but it's still a very funny movie.

In the original ending they filmed, Ken actually does kill Otto with the steamroller, but I guess they thought that a bit too dark for a comedy (nevermind he had already killed three dogs and an old lady :p ). I wish they had kept the stuttering joke from that ending though, because in that alternate ending Ken goes "I lost my stutter! It's gggg-g-g... it's g-g-guhh... it's gg-gg-ggggg..." and the first time I saw that it it made me laugh so hard, catching me completely offguard because Im so used to the version where he does actually cure his stutter.

Ken is played by Michael Palin (Galahad from Holy Grail). He is probably my favorite Python. Though there is no sequel, the 4 leads reunites for Fierce Creatures. Certainly revisit Holy Grail and watch the other 2 Python movies - Life of Brian and Meaning of Life - and maybe And Now For Something Completely Different, which is a movie of their more famous sketches from Flying Circus. There's also a ton of 'Python-adjacent' movies like Fish Called Wanda with 2 or more Pythons. A rarer one you would enjoy if you can find it is Splitting Heirs, with Eric Idle, John Cleese, and Rick Moranis.

John Cleese and Michael Palin, two Monty Python's Flying Circus alums. One of my favorite British comedy shows ever. You'll see them later when you react to Holy Grail, or Life of Bryan. You may have already seen Cleese in Harry Potter. But he was in an episode of DOCTOR WHO. It was a cameo from the 70s.
