Brian Deese is “an MIT Innovation Fellow, focusing on the impact of economic policies that strengthen the United States’ industrial capacity and on accelerating climate investment and innovation.” Before that, Deese assisted Joe Biden as Director of the National Economic Council. Asked in 2022 how American families could cope with surging gasoline prices, the NEC boss said, “this is about the future of the liberal world order, and we have to stand firm.” As Sir Bedevere(Terry Jones) might say, who is this who is so wise in the ways of economics?
Deese is the son of Boston College political science professor David Deese, who “researches the international and comparative politics of energy and climate policies worldwide.” Brian’s mother, Patricia Stanton, served as deputy commissioner at the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources and assistant commissioner of waste prevention at the state Department of Environmental Protection.

“I want him fighting wabid, wild animals within a week!”
According to something I heard (and it may or may not have been true) the poor actors were told that “you laugh, you don’t get paid”. Of course, they did pay them but it seemed to give them the incentive to not laugh and so prevent the expense of multiple takes.
One of my all time favorite scenes!
That, and “Romans Go Home!”
