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. Then they shift focus to the 2016 historical drama 'Free State of Jones' and dig into what the film has to say about the continuing legacy of slavery in America. Also: why it's really good!
