On this week’s episode of Not A Bomb, Troy and Brad are happy to welcome back to the show Sammy from the GGTMC to talk about Super, a dark and twisted comic book film, written and directed by James Gunn. Violent, dirty, and heartwarming(?), Super shows the dark side of vigilantism and might be difficult to stomach if you are not prepared. Get ready for needle drops, wrenches to the head, and waiting behind dumpsters.
Super is directed by James Gunn and stars Rainn Wilson, Elliott Page, Liv Taylor, Kevin Bacon, Nathan Fillon, Gregg Henry, Michael Rooker, Andre Royo, Sean Gunn, Stephen Blackehart, and Linda Cardellini.

Before the MCU assembled its mighty empire… before Chris Evans’ chiseled jawline became America’s favorite shield… there was Menahem Golan.
From the minds that brought you some of cinema’s most glorious disasters comes what many call the worst superhero movie ever forged in celluloid—Albert Pyun’s 1990 Captain America! The Not A Bomb boys are suiting up and once again teaming with Pyun to deep-dive into the red, white, and… “what were they thinking?”
This Cap didn’t soar into box offices—he barely thawed out long enough to see a theatrical release in the Philippines! And yet, through the decades, this star-spangled oddity has built a cult following worthy of Hydra’s secrecy.
So… have Brad and Troy sworn allegiance to this cinematic super-soldier, or will they hurl the shield straight into the trash heap of history? Grab your headphones, true believers—there’s only one way to find out!

This week the guys grab their mop buckets and turn the dial to weird as they dive into UHF—the only film brave enough to give us Conan the Librarian, Gandhi II, and a guy who teaches poodles to fly (sort of). Is UHF a lost comedy gem or just a Twinkie-wiener sandwich of a movie? Tune in and find out—supplies are limited, so act now!
UHF is directed by Jay Levey and stars Weird Al Yankovic, Kevin McCarthy, Fran Drescher, Michael Richards, David Bowe, and Victoria Jackson.

Did you know the Roku Channel existed? (No, seriously, it’s not just a screensaver for your TV!) Did you know they make original content? Did you know they handed over $8 million of actual, spendable money to fund a satirical biopic? Well, bust out your Hawaiian shirts and accordions, because all of that is true — and the result was Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. It’s a wonderfully unhinged parody of the life of “Weird” Al, brimming with the kind of silly-yet-sincere sweetness only a man who made “Eat It,” “Like a Surgeon,” and “Amish Paradise” could deliver. This movie is criminally underseen (like, “should be serving a life sentence” underseen), and Troy and Brad spend this episode doing what any good friends would do — aggressively bragging at their listeners until they finally go watch it.
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is directed by Eric Appel and stars Daniel Radcliffe, Evan Rachel Wood, Rainn Wilson, Toby Huss, and Julianne Nicholson

During the life of a podcast, there are times when you contemplate whether it's worth it….ladies and gentlemen, this is one of those weeks. After numerous requests, Troy and Brad finally decided to bite the bullet and discuss 2008's second-rate Sin City - The Spirit. Starring one of the guys from The Suits and scene-chewer expert, Samuel L. Jackson, The Spirit has some of the worst plotting, dialogue, and acting. It is really a chore, and the guys ask you to proceed with caution. Actually, if you're in the mood for The Spirit, check out the comic, it's pretty amazing. Do yourself a favor, skip the film and listen to Troy and Brad suffer.
The Spirit is directed by Frank Miller and stars Gabriel Macht, Eva Mendes, Sarah Paulson, Dan Lauria, Paz Vega, Scarlett Johansson, and Samuel L. Jackson.
