Where did comedy go wrong? Was it ever right? Tune in to rethink your favorite comedies with Alex the Rebel x Andrew the Saint. Featuring G. K. Chesterton, Monty Python, and everything in between! Remember, kids: don't turn off your brain; run after your hat!

• Notable Mentions: Arrested Development, "On Running After One's Own Hat" and "Cheese" by G. K. Chesterton (as found in Chesterton's Gateway by Ethan Nicolle), Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Community, Patriot, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Cantinflas, El Chavo del Ocho, Three Stooges, "Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses" by Mark Twain, and Hail, Caesar!

• Links: Fenimore Cooper's Literary Offenses by Mark Twain, Al Mohler: "Television's boundary-smashing pioneer turns 100," Aug 29, 2022; "We’re Living in Norman Lear’s America Now. But How Did We Get Here? — One Laugh, and Cringe, at a Time," Aug 5, 2022; "A Prophet of Moral Progressivism Dies at 101: The Life and Legacy of Norman Lear" - Dec 8, 2023
• Editor's Notes: I had listened to a Dec 2023 episode of The Briefing, but I quoted the transcript of the Aug 2022 episode. I've linked to both in the show notes. Book of Clarence did so poorly that it was pulled from UK theaters before release, as noted by Deadline on Jan 18, 2024. -Andrew
