Episode 263 - Watchmen (Ultimate Cut)
Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema’s biggest box office failures and decide whether they deserve a second chance. We are celebrating five years of discussing cinematic flops!
Comic Book Month kicks off with a bang as Not A Bomb tackles a legendary title once deemed “unfilmable.” So, who did Hollywood call? Zack Snyder, of course…
Join the crew as they time-jump back to 1985 and dive into the Ultimate Cut of Watchmen (2009)—a bold adaptation of one of the greatest graphic novels ever written. While the theatrical release struggled to connect with mainstream audiences, does the Ultimate Cut finally deliver the definitive version fans were hoping for?
Helping unpack this dense and divisive film is long-time listener and first-time guest Alex, who brings fresh insight to the conversation. The episode also explores Warner Bros. Animation’s 2024 Watchmen: Chapter I & II releases and how they stack up against Snyder’s vision.
Who watches the Watchmen? Not A Bomb does—and now you can too.
Watchmen is directed by Zach Snyder and stars Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Carla Gugino, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeffery Dean Morgan, and Patrick Wilson

Episode 262 - Red Sonja
Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema’s biggest box office failures and decide whether they deserve a second chance. We are celebrating five years of discussing cinematic flops!
Behold! In the age of steel and shadow, the warriors of Not a Bomb gather 'round the blazing fire to speak of a long-forgotten legend—Red Sonja, the first of Marvel’s sagas to stride onto the silver screen. With flame-haired fury, she is portrayed by the statuesque shield-maiden Brigitte Nielsen. Beside her, the mighty Arnold of the House Schwarzenegger appears—not as Conan the Cimmerian, but as some other sword-swinging warlord, lost to the winds of poor writing.
Lo! The tale sought to ride the wave of the Hyborian Age, yet it faltered like a drunk on a dragon’s back. Scorned by the masses and mocked by the scribes, Red Sonja was cast into the abyss of forgotten films.
But fear not, wanderers of cult cinema! For this day, a champion rises! Kevin, blood-brother to the podcast, joins the fray—his insight as sharp as Valeria’s blade—as the trio cleaves through the chaos of camp and carnage.
Is Red Sonja worthy of your precious hours? Or should it be banished to the lands of bad movie exile? Only one way to know—summon the episode and listen, if ye dare!

Episode 258 - Oldboy (2013)
Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema’s biggest box office failures and decide if they deserve a second chance.
In this week’s episode, the gang sadly bids farewell to Re-May-ke month with an American remake of a beloved Korean classic. Grab your hammer and enjoy some dumplings as Troy and Brad discuss Spike Lee's 2013 film, Oldboy. Remaking Park Chan-wook's masterpiece is a bold move, but with a talented director like Spike Lee at the helm, one would expect this neo-noir to be a success. Unfortunately, critics and audiences largely overlooked its theatrical release, and it only earned $5 million against a $30 million budget. Despite its failure at the box office, does this film deserve a second chance? Download and find out!
Oldboy (2013) is directed Spike Lee and stars Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen, and Sharlto Copley
