Ep 101: APOCALYPSE NOW

from The Takes It Took: A Movie Podcast · host The Takes It Took

We're heading up river and into the heart of insanity with Apocalypse Now! In today's episode, Moriah leads the boys through the madness that was the production of Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 film. This might be the most challenging production we've covered yet, with dead bodies on set, unruly actors, heart attacks, seizures, typhoons, stolen money, and a production that lasted 238 days.
