The Popcorn Auteur


Pretty straightforward. We watch all the movies of famous filmmakers and then discuss anything and everything that happens to interest us about them.

Mar 21, 2017

Terry Gilliam is not the typical Hollywood filmmaker because he has rarely been a Hollywood filmmaker.  Luckily, the lack of studio support has not stopped Gilliam from making unique and audacious films throughout his four-decade career.  We'll examine the hits and misses among Gilliam's films and ask the important questions like:  How does Gilliam blur the lines between dreams and reality?  How does imagination play a central role in his filmmaking?  And, how many of the cast of Time Bandits were later Ewoks in Star Wars?  Join us as we dive into the wonderfully bizarre mind of Terry Gilliam.
