Manzai Conspiracy Theory (not really)
So I didn’t even know about the Two Ronnies until today. They apparently had a show on BBC from 1971. In Japan, Beat Takeshi and Beat Kiyoshi formed their manzai act, Two Beat (aka Two Beats) shortly after that and first appeared on NHK in 1976.
Coincidence?
Or did Takeshi borrow the naming scheme from the Ronnies?

Thanks to T for turning me onto these on YT.
The Making of Rushmore
This is one of my brother’s favorite movies (I favor The Life Aquatic myself).
