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.
Troy and Brad are back with a brand-new episode of Not A Bomb! This week, they're diving into the wacky world of corporate America with the 1994 screwball comedy The Hudsucker Proxy. Picture this: an evil Paul Newman on a mission to dominate the world of business, and let's say you'll never look at a hula hoop the same way again.
This film is like a love letter to 1930s and 1940s Hollywood. Join the guys as they navigate the absurdity: Are they celebrating classic cinema or tossing confetti at an odd-ball knock-up? Tune in to find out if this movie is a hidden gem or another big corporate blunder that needs a fiscal timeout!
The Hudsucker Proxy is directed by Joel Coen and stars Tim Robbins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Paul Newman.

Unfortunately, Troy and Brad must say goodbye to the McConaughthon as our month dedicated to the one and only Matthew McConaughey comes to an end. In this week's episode, the guys discuss a film that was meant to launch a multi-media extravaganza. However, its lackluster box office performance and critical reception prevented it from getting off the ground. The gang examines The Dark Tower, which is loosely based on Stephen King's novel series of the same name. While the movie offers a simplified take on the books, does it motivate viewers to dive into the series? How many Stephen King Easter eggs can one film contain? Can Idris Elba rescue this aimless journey? Tune in to find out!
The Dark Tower is directed by Nikolaj Arcel and stars Idris Elba, Matthew McConaughey, Tom Taylor, Claudia Kim, Fran Kranz, Abbey Lee, and Jackie Earle Haley.

Alright, alright, alright, the McConaughthon continues with one of the biggest box-office failures of all time: the 2005 action-adventure film Sahara. Known for its troubled production and questionable accounting practices, Sahara saw its budget double and was released with little fanfare. Troy and Brad take a deep dive into this adventure film, which blends elements of Indiana Jones and James Bond, and try to determine if it truly deserves the label of one of the biggest bombs in cinematic history.
Sahara is directed by Breck Eisner and stars Matthew McConaughey, Steve Zahn, Penelope Cruz, Lambert Wilson, Glynn Turman, Rainn Wilson, Delroy Lindo, and William H. Macy.

January has become an impromptu Matthew McConaughey month or “McConaughthon.” Last week, the guys tackled Tiptoes. This week, they had to do a hard turn into science-fiction with 2002’s post-apocalyptic film - Reign of Fire. Both a financial and critical disappointment, Reign of Fire finds a stellar early 2000’s cast fighting fire-breathing dragons. The film has become somewhat of a cult classic, but do Troy and Brad agree? Download to find out!
Reign of Fire is directed by Rob Bowman and stars Matthew McConaughey, Christian Bale, Izabella Scorupco, and Gerald Butler.

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 discuss the fantasy adventure film - The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. As a four-time Academy Award-nominated film, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is one of the more decorated movies discussed on the show. Sadly, those nominations did not translate to box office success, and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen failed to recoup the $46 million budget. Does the third film of the “Trilogy of Imagination” deserve a second look? "Or should this ludicrous yarn erupt into a fiery spectacle, only to be swiftly forgotten, like last week's turnip stew?"
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is directed by Terry Gilliam and stars John Neville, Eric Idle, Sarah Polley, Oliver Reed, Uma Thurman, Johnathan Pryce, and Valentina Cortese.
