Episode 200 - Blade Runner & Blade Runner 2049
Welcome to your favorite movie podcast, Not a Bomb!! This is the podcast where we revisit some of the biggest box office failures in cinema history and explore whether they deserve a second chance.
We are incredibly grateful for all the support we've received over the last 200 episodes and we look forward to many more. For this special occasion, we decided to discuss the seminal science fiction film, Blade Runner. Despite its status as a thought-provoking and visually stunning work of art, the initial release of the film was a commercial flop.
We also talk about the 2017 sequel, Blade Runner 2049, which strikes a perfect balance between building on the legacy of the original and standing on its own as a great film. Unfortunately, the sequel also bombed and failed to make a profit for the studios.
To delve into these two iconic science-fiction works, we welcomed a special guest, Cam, offering a Gen Z perspective. This episode wouldn't have been the same without Cam, and we're excited to have him share his insights on this captivating futuristic saga.
Blade Runner is directed by Ridley Scott and stars Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, M. Emmet Walsh, Daryl Hannah, William Sanderson, Brion James and Joe Turkel.
Blader Runner 2049 is directed by Denis Villeneuve and stars Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis, Caral Juri, Lennie James, Dave Bautista and Jared Leto

Episode 180 - Narrow Margin (1990) and The Narrow Margin (1952)
The city was draped in Noirvember's shroud, and Not a Bomb was the beacon in this murky storm. In sauntered Sophia from the Moviestruck podcast, a siren with a penchant for unraveling tales buried in shadows. Deception, detectives as sharp as whiskey, dames with allure as lethal as a bullet, thugs with a dime-a-dozen sneer, and the haunting symphony of trains set the stage for our rendezvous.
We were all set for a tango in the darkness, dissecting two classics that echoed through time, a clash of eras bathed in secrets. '90s Narrow Margin and its '52 predecessor, The Narrow Margin, each holding court in their own epoch. The former—a flop, a silver screen misfire, while the latter—a darling of the Academy, embraced universally by critics.
But here's the kicker, dear listeners: will our novice sleuths echo the choir of critics or dance to a newer tune? Will they find solace in the nostalgic embrace of '52 or dare to crave the thrill of something fresher?
Take a seat, for this discourse will have your nerves as taut as a piano wire. The air was thick with anticipation, charged with the essence of unraveling mysteries, secrets, and the palpable taste of suspense. Not a Bomb was ready to detonate the truth behind these cinematic enigmas, and Sophia was our guiding light through the labyrinth of twists and turns. Buckle up, for this discussion was set to be a ride along the edges of your seat, a thrill that Noirvember couldn't contain.
Narrow Margin is directed by Peter Hyams and stars Gene Hackman, Anne Archer, James B. Sikking, J.T. Walsh and M. Emmet Walsh.
The Narrow Margin is directed by Richard Fleischer and stars Charles McGraw, Marie Windsor and Jacqueline White.
