NAB Presents: Breaking Brad - Experiment 2: The Apple (1980)
Welcome back to Not A Bomb Presents: Breaking Brad! Troy, Sammy from the GGTMC, and Jose from the Watch/Skip+ pick some of the worst films imaginable to see if they can break Brad. On this episode, the gang tackles what is considered to be the worst musical of all time, The Apple (1980). Written and directed by Menahem Golan, The Apple is a biblical, Orwellian, futuristic anti-corporation musical where the evil music label, Boogalow International Music (BIM), tries to sign Adam and Eve….wait sorry…Alphie and Bibi to their record label. What follows is some of the worst music ever created. Oh yeah, and there are hippies for no reason. Don’t worry! Catherin Mary Stewart is still amazing and this film can’t diminish her awesomeness (yeah, Troy took over writing this post). Does The Apple have what it takes to Break Brad? Listen and find out!
