On today's episode, back by popular demand is the one and only Mr. Steve Teamkin. Steve will be joining Lady P and her longtime friend, writer/director Ted Campbell, to discuss--according to the Sight and Sound Critics' Poll--the 14th Greatest Movie of All Time, APOCALYPSE NOW. The production on the film was notoriously troubled. Did Francis Ford Coppola manage to pull off an epic masterpiece, or is it the giant folly-of-a-film that the Hollywood prognosticators of the 1970's initially predicted?
Because APOCALYPSE NOW is a loose adaption of the Joseph Conrad novella, HEART OF DARKNESS, for the second topic, the panel discusses their favorite movie adaptations of famous literary works. They also talk about what kinds of stories make great fodder for the silver-screen.
Then Lady P and Ted finish up the episode with an overview of an exciting new project he's working on called Myrna. To find out more about the project, and to help get it made, simply follow this link.
