Join Daniel, Tanya, and this episode’s Guest Host, Glenn, as they dive deep into the surreal, dystopian world of Terry Gilliam’s 1985 science fiction classic, Brazil. This episode of POPPED! unpacks one of cinema’s most exceptional commentaries on modern-day bureaucracy and oppressive state control.
Episode Highlights:
Main Discussion:
The crew breaks down the labyrinthine plot and striking visuals of Brazil, exploring how Gilliam’s vision stands apart from other works in his filmography. They discuss the film’s unique blend of dark humor, nightmarish bureaucracy, and the ever-present threat of state surveillance.
Themes Explored:
What makes Brazil such a powerful critique of bureaucracy? The hosts examine the film’s depiction of paperwork gone mad, the loss of individuality, and the absurdity of a system that values process over people. They also touch on the film’s relevance to today’s world and how its themes resonate decades later.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
