Episode 212 - Deathstalker and Deathstalker 2

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.

Not a Bomb has slayed the Cyclops, pulled the sword from the stone, sat on the throne, and conquered sword and sandals month, but we can only move on with casting one more magic spell. For this week’s episode, we give thee two movies for the price of one, as we discuss Deathstalker and the sequel Deathstalker 2: Duel of the Titans. To not sound super creepy when talking about all the boobs that are in these movies, the guys are so excited back Sophia over at the Moviestruck Podcast. The guys also use this episode as propaganda for Chopping Mall.  

Deathstalker is directed by James Sbardellati (as “John Watson”) and stars Rick Hill, Barbi Benton, Richard Brooker, and Lana Clarkson

Deathstalker 2 is directed by Jim Wynorski and John Terlesky, Monique Gabrielle, John LaZar, and Toni Naples

Episode 206 - Get Carter (2000)

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. “Re-May-ke” month is still rolling on as we peel back the layers on the darkly entertaining and tightly wound revenge story from 2000, Get Carter. Based on the novel “Jack Returns Home,” Get Carter failed to reach the heights of the 1971 version and only made back roughly 33% of its production budget. Sylvester Stallone was definitely trying to do something new with his career in 2000, but the film didn’t resonate with critics or the general audience. Does this 2nd remake of the famous British crime film deserve all the hate? Grab your trench coat, put on your best brooding face, and join us as we dissect this gritty gem on Not a Bomb!

Get Carter is directed by Stephen Kay and stars Sylvester Stallone, Miranda Richardson, Rachael Leigh Cook, Alan Cumming, Mickey Rourke, and Michael Caine.

This week, we can be found guesting all over the internet. Be sure to check us out over on YouTube - Crying Freeman on Episode 35 of And Now for Something A Little Bit Different. Also, check out Episode 82 of Moviestruck, where we join Sophia to discuss M. Night Shyamalan's The Happening.

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.
