Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema’s biggest box failures and decide if they deserve a second chance.

“He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders before she died.” The time has finally come as Troy and Brad discuss one of the biggest bombs of 2024 - Madame Web. No review of Madame Web would be complete without superfan - Jose from Watch Skip Plus, and his vast knowledge is put to the test as Troy and Brad have so many questions. Madame Web is a maddening comic book film short on plot but heavy on exposition. Do the spider-women ever get their powers? Is Dakota Johnson an alien or a robot? Why is the villain clearly ADR’d? Did Pepsi sponsor this movie as anti-Coke Cola propaganda? Listen and find out!

Madame Web is directed by S. J. Clarkson and stars Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, Celeste O’Connor, Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps, Emma Roberts, and Adam Scott.

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema’s biggest box failures and decide if they deserve a second chance.

The fires of history still burn bright, and the lads of Not A Bomb are here to stoke them with tales of valor and defiance. This week, the spotlight falls on the dashing duo of Mr. Boxer-Dropper himself, Henry Cavill, and his stalwart ally Alan Ritchson, as they bring to life The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare!

Directed by the ever-reliable Guy Ritchie, this cinematic triumph thrusts us into the daring exploits of Operation Postmaster—a secret mission that turned the tide against tyranny on the Spanish island of Fernando Po during the Second World War. With action and intrigue dripping from every frame, this film rekindles the spirit of resistance that defined the Greatest Generation.

Though the box office may not yet reflect its worth, the critical battle has been won, with audiences and critics alike singing its praises. Is this just another pretender in the crowded field of WWII adventures, or does it cement its place as a true monument to courage and cunning?

Join the ranks, watch the film, and decide for yourself—because history isn't just remembered, it's relived!

The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare is directed by Guy Ritchie and stars Henry Cavill, Eiza Gonzalez, Alan Ritchson, Alex Pettyfer, Hero Fiennes Tiffin, Babs Olusanmokun, Henrique Zaga, Til Schweiger, Henry Golding, and Cary Elwes.

For our final episode, the podcast travels to stupid city for the science fiction disaster film - Moonfall. If we are destroying the Earth in some silly manner, it’s gotta be a Roland Emmerich film! How silly is this latest entry from the master of disaster? The Moon, which is a mega-structure built by aliens, is crashing into the Earth because another set of aliens doesn’t like us. Yep, the moon is not made out of cheese but is in fact an alien summer home or something. The guys need some assistance with this one, so they welcome Cam from the Jacked Up Review Show.

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema's biggest box office failures and decide if they deserve a second chance. To launch Listener Request Month, agents Troy and Brad were handed a covert mission: select a spy flick. Their choice? The Avengers. But hold your horses, this isn’t that Avengers. No capes, no superheroes—just the 1998 version. A tangled mess of a film, so baffling it left everyone scratching their heads. Jeremiah S. Chechik, the director, well... let’s just say, after this disaster, he found himself locked up in movie prison. Tune in as the boys unravel the chaos, question if any pair of leads has ever shared less chemistry, and wonder why in the world you'd hire Eddie Izzard… and not let her talk. The Avengers, directed by Jeremiah S. Chechik, stars Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman, Sean Connery, and Jim Broadbent. Not A Bomb has just unveiled new designs in our Merch store! We're thrilled to share these with you. Head over to the Not A Bomb Tee Public store and check them out. Special thanks to Ted Blair for the amazing designs! We're committed to hearing your feedback and suggestions. If there's a cinematic flop you'd like us to delve into, please reach out to us at NotABombPod@gmail.com or through our contact page.

Brad explains how this box office bomb gained prominence among the film community over the years and the guys spend a little time sharing their favorite films from the prison genre.

Prestige Month continues on Not A Bomb and this week the gentlemen tackle a little seen biopic from 2021 - The Eyes of Tammy Faye.

Spooky Season rolls on as Not A Bomb tackles one of the most fascinating film productions of all time, 2005’s supernatural thriller - Dominion: The Prequel to The Exorcist. After a disastrous screening with the studio, Morgan Creek then went on to retool Dominion. In essence, the studio hired a new director, replaced a big portion of the cast, spent $50 million dollars to reshoot a majority of scenes and eventually released it as Exorcist: The Beginning. The reason for this insanity? The producers and studio heads felt Dominion lacked the scares to carry the Exorcist name. The gang brings back Jose from the Watch/Skip+ podcast to help breakdown Dominion’s themes of questioning faith, the evils of man, and moral angst. Don’t worry, there are still plenty of jokes about cartoon hyenas and horse teeth as well as Troy mispronouncing a majority of the filmmakers’ last names. This episode sounds intellectual, but it maintains the same goofiness you’ve come to expect from the hosts.

Welcome back to your favorite podcast about some of the most notorious cinema bombs of all time. On this week’s episode, the gang discusses one of the most infamous big budget films of all time - Waterworld, AKA Kevin’s Gate, AKA Fishtar. Waterworld was the most expensive movie ever made, at the time, and was plagued by bad press, difficult production, and clashes between the main star and director. Not A Bomb could not tackle such a film on their own, so they called friend of the show - Josh from The VHS Files podcast to assist in the discussion. Was Waterworld the disaster the press made it out to be? Was this a case of critics reviewing the budget rather than the film? Or is this really a simple and fun Mad Max ripoff with some spectacular action sequences? Listen and find out!

It has been argued that there is no such thing as a “perfect” film. On this week’s episode of Not A Bomb, we put that theory to the test as Troy and Brad discuss 1995’s talking gorilla film - Congo. The guys cannot tackle such a film as Congo without help, so they welcome Charlie back to the show but also The Twisted Kid Matt - host of The Mix Tape Podcast makes his Not A Bomb debut. The podcast quickly devolves into juvenile human/gorilla relationship jokes, turning Dylan Walsh into a human punching bag, and praising what should have been Delroy Lindo’s Academy Award Winning performance. *** Just a warning, this episode is NSFW so DO NOT listen in your car with your kids! Seriously! You might have to explain some very politically incorrect jokes. You’ve been warned!

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema's biggest box office failures and whether they deserve a second chance. This week on the podcast, Troy and Brad embark on a trip to Li Tolqa for some much-needed resort relaxation. As vacation month comes to a close, the guys dive into the 2023 horror sci-fi film Infinity Pool. A heads-up: if you're planning to watch the movie, it’s best to listen after you’ve seen it. The discussion is packed with spoilers, and going into Infinity Pool with as little prior knowledge as possible will enhance the experience. And just a warning—this episode is definitely not safe for work. Brandon Cronenberg directed Infinity Pool, and stars Alexander Skarsgard, Mia Goth, and Cleopatra Coleman. Not A Bomb has just unveiled new designs in our Merch store! We're thrilled to share these with you. Head over to the Not A Bomb Tee Public store and check them out. Special thanks to Ted Blair for the amazing designs! We're committed to hearing your feedback and suggestions. If there's a cinematic flop you'd like us to delve into, please reach out to us at NotABombPod@gmail.com or through our contact page. Your reviews and feedback are what drive us.

Welcome back to your favorite podcast that goes back and reexamines some cinema’s biggest bombs. On this week’s show, we welcome back Sammy from the GGTMC to discuss 1984’s Cloak & Dagger, also known as “baby’s first Hitchcock film.” Davey, your typical 80’s latchkey kid, is on the search for a video game cartridge with important military secrets. This film is filled with kids in peril, imaginary friends, airport terrorism, and grown men trying to murder children? Yeah, the film gets a little dark in places.

Hey Bombers! Welcome back to another exciting episode of Not A Bomb. Normally, this is the podcast where we go back reexamine some of the biggest cinematic bombs of all time. This week, though, the guys pull the Hong Kong Clause which states that at any point the gang can discuss a Hong Kong film if they feel the need. The guys really really really wanted to discuss an underappreciated film from an underappreciated director. We are talking about 2004’s Throw Down directed by Johnnie To, which is a personal film for To and is dedicated to the late Akira Kurosawa. Throw Down is one of the most challenging films discussed on the show. The film has so many levels and can be enjoyed as pure entertainment or as a zen parable. On top of listing all of their favorite Johnnie To films, Troy and Brad use this as an excuse to discuss Kurosawa and his debut film - Sanshiro Sugata.
