Michael and Us: The Ministry of 1984 ½

A podcast about political cinema and our crumbling world. Hosted by Will Sloan and Luke Savage. Terry Gilliam sought to update George Orwell for the 1980s with his career-defining film BRAZIL (1985), but his future dystopia isn't animated by an ideology like Oceania's. We attempt to untangle the satire of a movie where bureaucracy itself is the problem. PLUS: we hash out our thoughts on Netflix's The Crown and the travails of Johnny Depp.
