Episode 216 - Windtalkers
Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we dive into some of cinema's biggest box office failures and explore whether they deserve a second chance!
Release those doves; it's finally time to talk about iconic action film director John Woo on this latest episode of Not A Not. The Summer Blockbuster Extravaganza ends, but not without a bang. This week, Troy and Brad discuss the underappreciated, underseen war film from 2002 - Windtalkers. Does Woo have what it takes to take his legendary action-directing abilities and scope up to make a compelling character-driven war film? Or does he decide to make everything out of gasoline, so it blows really nicely? Listen and find out!
Windtalkers is directed by John Woo and stars Nicolas Cage, Adam Beach, Peter Stormare, Noah Emmerich, Mark Ruffalo, Brian van Holt, Roger Willie, Fances O’Connor, and Christian Clater
