NAB Presents: Breaking Brad - Experiment 18: Visitors from the Arkana Galaxy
This week’s experiment: Visitors from the Arkana Galaxy, an Eastern European sci‑fi fever dream that asks, “What if humanity’s first contact looked like a disco‑soaked existential crisis?” and then answers with one of the most gloriously unhinged films ever committed to celluloid. Strange creatures, stranger humans, and a plot that feels beamed in from another dimension collide into something so confident, so imaginative, so defiantly weird that you start to wonder if the filmmakers actually were from Arkana.
The movie drifts through surreal set pieces, deadpan performances, and cosmic absurdity with the swagger of a masterpiece that knows you’ll never fully understand it and doesn’t care. In no way is this Breaking Brad; if anything, it might be one of the greatest films ever made, a reminder that sometimes the best cinema comes from the outer edges of sanity and geography.
Expect baffling brilliance, unexpected beauty, and the kind of sci‑fi ambition that makes modern blockbusters look timid. Visitors from the Arkana Galaxy isn’t just a movie, it’s a transmission from a better, weirder universe, and we’re lucky it reached us at all.

Not A Bomb Presents The Classics is a series where Jose and Sammy join Troy and Brad to discuss some of the greatest films in history. This episode is a bit late for March, but we hope it's worth the wait. In this classic installment, the guys delve into Fritz Lang’s 1931 German suspense thriller - M. The film features Peter Lorre as Hans Beckert, a serial killer who targets children. The story revolves around the intense search for Beckert by the police and the criminal underworld. This film is notable for its early use of procedural drama elements and innovative cinematic techniques, such as long tracking shots and a musical leitmotif. “M” is widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever and significantly influenced modern crime. How well does this 1931 classic hold up? Listen in to find out!
