Episode 251 - Top Secret!
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.
In this week’s episode, Troy and Brad take a moment to honor one of the greatest actors of all time—Val Kilmer. His passing gives the guys a chance to reflect on his remarkable career and discuss his very first film, Top Secret! Created by the brilliant minds behind classics like Airplane, Naked Gun, and the short-lived TV show Police Squad!, Top Secret! is a unique blend of an Elvis comedy, a World War II spy film, and a parody of The Blue Lagoon. Somehow, it all comes together to showcase Kilmer’s incredible talent. Join the guys as they celebrate the one and only Val Kilmer.
Top Secret! is directed by Jim Abrahams, David Zucker, and Jerry Zucker and stars Val Kilmer, Lucy Gutteridge, Christopher Villiers, Billy J. Mitchell, Jeremy Kemp, Omar Sharif, and Peter Cushing.

Episode 250 - Movie 43
Episode 250 of the Not A Bomb podcast is now available! To celebrate this milestone, we're discussing one of our most requested films: Movie 43. This comedy anthology, featuring 20 directors, 15 writers, and numerous A-list stars, was filmed over a four-year period and pays homage to classics like The Kentucky Fried Movie.
Movie 43, a film so infamous, is often hailed as one of the worst ever made. But is there any fun to be had in the chaos? What possessed so many A-list actors to sign on? And most importantly: should you watch it… or run screaming in the other direction?
Additionally, Brad and Troy want to take a moment to express their gratitude to our amazing listeners for their support throughout these 250 episodes. The Not A Bomb community is fantastic, and we can't thank you enough!
Movie 43 is directed by way too many directors and stars a lot of people.
Note for next week’s show - During this episode the guys mentioned that Inherent Vice as the film for next week. Sadly, the next day, Val Kilmer passed away and to celebrate his amazing career, the guys have decided to discuss Top Secret.
