In this episode, we dive into the chaotic arrival of Marlon Brando on the set of Apocalypse Now. Despite the crew’s excitement, Brando’s weight and eccentric behavior caused major challenges for Coppola, who was still trying to figure out how to end the film. From pranks and delays to the influence of Brando’s unique acting philosophy, this episode looks at why the first week of shooting with Brando was so difficult—and the strange ways it would shape the legendary Kurtz scenes.
