Episode 209 - King Arthur: Legend of the Sword
Welcome back to Not A Bomb! Yes, we're still donning sandals, wielding swords, and delving into films that flopped at the box office. In this week's episode, we're diving into the work of one of our favorite directors once more: Guy Ritchie. This time, we’re exploring his interpretation of the Arthurian legend with the 2017 film King Arthur: Legend of the Sword. And since we're revisiting Guy Ritchie's oeuvre, it’s only fitting to welcome Nate back to the show—he previously joined us for our last Guy Ritchie discussion. We completely forgot about this little detail and ended up sounding like complete idiots when it came up. Honestly, feeling lost is pretty much par for the course on this show. So sit back and enjoy the chaos!
King Arthur: Legend of the Sword is directed by Guy Ritchie and stars Charlie Hunnam, Astrid Berges-Frisbey, Djimon Hounsou, Aidan Gillen, Jude Law, and Eric Bana

Episode 126 - Hugo
Welcome back to Not A Bomb Podcast, the show where we go back and reexamine some of the biggest bombs in cinematic history. The theme for this month is all about prestige films, movies that bombed at the box office but also won multiple academy awards. We kick things off with a discussion of a high profile family, adventure film from 2011 - Hugo. This gives Troy and Brad a reason to talk about one of the greatest directors of all time - Martin Scorsese. Hugo was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and took home five wins, but it wasn’t enough to save it from losing more than $100 million during its box office run. As a bonus, Troy and Brad share their top three Scorsese films and talk about the relevancy of the academy award ceremony.
Timestamps: Intro - (2:10), Academy Awards Talk - (5:40), Box Office Results and Critical Response - (16:07), Behind the Camera - (23:45), In Front of the Camera - (37:43), Production, Development and Historical Accuracies - (48:13), Commerical Break - (53:19), Hugo Discussion - (55:19), Is it a Bomb? - (90:32), Listener Feedback - (91:32), and Outro - (102:44)
Hugo is directed by Martin Scorsese and stars Ben Kingsley, Sacha Baron Cohen, Asa Butterfield, Chloe Grace Moretz, Emily Mortimer, and Jude Law.
