Apocalypse Now - with Nick Dent
Episode 8
Wednesday, 28 October, 2026
Definitely Not Vietnam Month comes to a frankly confusing conclusion with a movie that everyone thinks is about Vietnam, but which Duncan argues is actually about something else. Apocalypse Now is Francis Ford Coppola's 1979 exploration of the madness of war. Making it turned into its own craziness, as costs spiraled, Martin Sheen had a heart attack and Marlon Brando was difficult even by his own high standards. Joining us is Nick Dent of the Brisbane Times. Next week: Duck Soup.
