About this listen

What happens when a director mortgages his house, an actor has a heart attack, and helicopters get pulled mid-scene for real combat? Apocalypse Now wasn’t just about Vietnam—it was Vietnam. In this episode of Burned at the Slate, we break down the chaos: Brando showing up overweight and unprepared, Dennis Hopper clashing with everyone, and Coppola slowly unraveling as the budget exploded. It's the ultimate tale of Hollywood ambition pushed to the brink.
