The edited interview was published in the May 1, 1977 issue of the New York Times. The recording contains Gilliam and one other person discussing with Kent whether a film or TV show (possibly the 1977 Roots TV miniseries) seems real or just a Hollywood version? Compares it to Disney's Davy Crockett; then discussing American TV shows being on British TV such as Streets of San Francisco and Kojak. Gilliam mentions that his next project is the film Brazil, which he describes as being about a bureaucrat working in the "Ministry of Torture" and the hilarity that ensues when something goes awry in the paperwork.
