On this Popcorn Eschaton, it's a harrowing journey through messianic movements and rebellions against intolerable oppression. First, Scott and John discuss Glauber Rocha's 'Black God, White Devil,' the 1964 "Brazilian scream" that is simultaneously magical and realist in its descent into madness and bloody revolution.
