Episode 118 - Waterworld

Welcome back to your favorite podcast about some of the most notorious cinema bombs of all time. On this week’s episode, the gang discusses one of the most infamous big budget films of all time - Waterworld, AKA Kevin’s Gate, AKA Fishtar. Waterworld was the most expensive movie ever made, at the time, and was plagued by bad press, difficult production, and clashes between the main star and director. Not A Bomb could not tackle such a film on their own, so they called friend of the show - Josh from The VHS Files podcast to assist in the discussion. Was Waterworld the disaster the press made it out to be? Was this a case of critics reviewing the budget rather than the film? Or is this really a simple and fun Mad Max ripoff with some spectacular action sequences? Listen and find out!

Timestamps: Intro - (2:25), Box Office Results and Critical Response - (10:27), Behind the Camera - (19:18), In Front of the Camera - (28:41), Production and Development - (40:59), Commercial Break - (56:02), Waterworld Discussion - (56:18), Is it a Bomb? - (94:45), Listener Feedback - (97:18), Next Week’s Pick - (106:18), Outro - (113:14)

Episode 74 - The Postman

Welcome back, bombers! On this episode of Not A Bomb, Troy and Brad tackle one of the most notorious bombs of all time from academy award winning director Kevin Costner. No, it’s not Waterworld. Good guess. This week we dive into the post-apocalyptic, mail-man movie - The Postman. To assist in this 3 hour “epic”, Not A Bomb welcomes back - Sammy from the GGTMC.

The gang quickly realizes that The Postman may be more poignant in today’s political climate than when it was initially released. Sadly, the film is marred by poor dialogue, a 3 hour runtime, zero action, and Kevin Costner’s comedic skills.

The Postman is directed by Kevin Costner and stars Kevin Costner, Will Patton, Larenz Tate, Olivia Williams, James Russo, and Tom Petty…yes that Tom Petty.

If you want to leave feedback or suggest a movie bomb, please drop us a line at NotABombPod@gmail.com. Also, if you like what you hear, leave a review on Apple Podcast.
