This is one of the most debated episodes of the first three seasons of Community, perhaps because of the levels it pushes the boundaries of what one might expect from a television sitcom. A parody of Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse, a documentary film behind the making of Apocalypse Now, the episode is a showcase of star Joel McHale and Jim Rash as Dean Pelton. It was perhaps the show at its least accessible for outsiders, but if you loved this episode, there's very little from the first three seasons you probably didn't care for, as it mixes the study groups dynamic while showing again the program's chops for direct parody.
