Episode 32 - Memoirs of an Invisible Man
On this week’s listener requested episode, Not A Bomb examines the 1992 dark comedy/science fiction film, Memoirs of an Invisible Man, from legendary director John Carpenter. This critically panned film stars Chevy Chase as the titular invisible man as he struggles to eat food, put on clothes, evade capture from the government, and solidify a relationship with Daryl Hannah. Audiences were not excited about this hybrid film and it was a box office dud!
Troy and Brad could not tackle such a film without the help from their friend and fellow podcaster, Josh, from The VHS Files podcast. The trio find themselves trying to figure out whether a serious, Hitchcock-type film is the right move for Chevy Chase. Ultimately, the guys debate if Memoirs of an Invisible Man deserved to be called a bomb.
