Hello and welcome to the Poppedcast. A space to explore cinema history, cinema culture, and how world events can be reflected through the silver screen. Thanks for reading.

From rising unemployment to racial tension and the birth of neoliberal individualism, this episode explores how film and TV documented a country in crisis, and why their warnings still matter today.
