Welcome to Brazil! We're on the hunt for eye of the ducks in the ducts from Terry Gilliam's sci-fi masterpiece. Is it cyberpunk? Steam punk? Who cares. With Monty Python slapstick, a mustachioed Robert De Niro, and an electric samurai, we had to cover it. Fill out your paperwork and listen in.

Next week, we cover Katsuhiro Otomo's AKIRA (1988). Join the conversation on Eye of the Discord at https://discord.com/invite/RssDc3brsx
