Welcome back to Not A Bomb podcast, the show where we tackle cinema’s biggest box office failures and decide if they deserve a second chance.
Happy New Year, and thank you for supporting the podcast in 2025. After this week’s choice, you might never want to listen to the podcast again. Troy and Brad had the best intentions. There was once a movie in which Gary Oldman, in the role of a lifetime, played a little person who happened to be the twin brother of Matthew McConaughey. Sounds fun, right? Well, not really.
In this week’s episode, the gang discusses the unbelievable film - Tiptoes. Trust us, this is a real film, but there isn’t much else to say about it. If you tuned in to watch this one for the podcast, we apologize. Please, do not send us your therapy bill.
Tiptoes is directed by Matthew Bright and stars Gary Oldman, Kate Beckinsale, Matthew McConaughey, and Peter Dinklage.

Welcome back to Not A Bomb podcast, the show where we tackle cinema’s biggest box office failures and decide if they deserve a second chance.
Here's a possible revision in a more engaging and travel-log-style tone:
Troy and Brad bid farewell to the cinematic "bombs" of 2024 with an ambitious journey into the American frontier. Their latest viewing: Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1, a three-hour epic Western directed by none other than Kevin Costner. Banking on his vision, Costner poured $38 million of his own money into the project, envisioning it as the first chapter in a four-part saga that weaves together the lives of diverse characters navigating the rugged American Midwest. However, whispers of production drama have cast shadows over Horizon’s future, raising the question: will it ascend as a masterpiece or be remembered alongside Costner’s infamous Waterworld and The Postman?
To assist with discussing this epic, the gang welcomes Jose from Watch Skip Plus. As usual, Jose brings his unique take on this box office bomb and also gives an update on the Watch Skip Plus podcast.
Horizon: An American Sage - Chapter 1 is directed by Kevin Costner and stars Kevin Costner, Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington, Will Patton, Jamie Campbell Bower, and Giovanni Ribisi.

Troy and Brad roundhouse-kick their way into the dojo this week to honor the undisputed champions of 2024’s action-packed film scene. The dynamic duo starts by throwing down their top five action movies of the year, filled with all the judo chops, flying kicks, and bone-crunching brawls that 2024 had to offer.
Once the dust settles, they turn their fists of fury toward Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In—a Hong Kong martial arts masterpiece that delivers more punches than a Jackie Chan highlight reel.
If you crave flying kicks, hard-hitting punches, and non-stop adrenaline, this episode is a must-listen. The Not A Bomb podcast is ready to sweep the leg of any action movie fan!
Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In is directed by Soi Cheang and stars Louis Koo, Sammo Hung, Richie Jean, Raymond Lam, Terrance Lau, Kenny Wong, Philip Ng, and Tony Wu.

The guys continue their journey of some of the biggest box office failures of 2024. In this week’s episode, they discuss the prequel to one of the greatest action films of all time: Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Brad and Troy also continue their tradition of inviting a guest onto the show only to critique their cinematic tastes. For this post-apocalyptic bomb, the guest is Kevin, one of the hosts of Raiders of the Podcast. The gang examines why Furiosa failed to resonate with audiences, whether Anya Taylor-Joy was the right choice for the title character, and if Dementus is simply a pretentious charlatan.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is directed by George Miller and stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Burke, and Alyla Browne

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.
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.
