It would be simplistic to say that not casting Keanu Reeves in Dragon’s Game: 3-Point Play destroyed Brad Radby’s career. While the tarnishing of a beloved franchise certainly did him no favors, far more damaging was his behavior during the press tour, when he could no longer contain his exuberance for his new religious beliefs.
Constant preaching about his “awesome volcano god from Mars”, and the not-so-subtle use of literal angels in his work reached the tipping point with the adjacent releases of 13 Angry Men and DG:3PP. The public voted with their wallets, and the rampant mockery from the online internet blogs had a catastrophic result.
Brad Radby saw his opportunities slipping away, and it seemed that no matter what he did, even his most loyal fans were abandoning him.
Mr. Radby’s choices during this next period were scattershot. While his public enthusiasm and attitude remained high, many suspected that privately, he was having an identity crisis of sorts. A definitive lack of passion could be noted with each subsequent film, coming to a head with Brad Radby’s Death Prison 2, by far the bleakest work of his career.
It would be the last film released to the public before he left on the Super Airplane ride, save for the online internet discovery of his aforementioned experimental short film. Whether it was a cry for help or something else altogether, Brad Radby’s What Time Is It? is surely worth discussing, and here in this text is the first time Radby has done so himself.
