Episode 235 - Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga
Welcome back to the Not A Bomb podcast, the show where we tackle cinema’s biggest box office failures and decide if they deserve a second chance.
The guys continue their journey of some of the biggest box office failures of 2024. In this week’s episode, they discuss the prequel to one of the greatest action films of all time: Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. Brad and Troy also continue their tradition of inviting a guest onto the show only to critique their cinematic tastes. For this post-apocalyptic bomb, the guest is Kevin, one of the hosts of Raiders of the Podcast. The gang examines why Furiosa failed to resonate with audiences, whether Anya Taylor-Joy was the right choice for the title character, and if Dementus is simply a pretentious charlatan.
Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga is directed by George Miller and stars Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Hemsworth, Tom Burke, and Alyla Browne

Episode 233 - Madame Web
Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema’s biggest box failures and decide if they deserve a second chance.
“He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders before she died.” The time has finally come as Troy and Brad discuss one of the biggest bombs of 2024 - Madame Web. No review of Madame Web would be complete without superfan - Jose from Watch Skip Plus, and his vast knowledge is put to the test as Troy and Brad have so many questions. Madame Web is a maddening comic book film short on plot but heavy on exposition. Do the spider-women ever get their powers? Is Dakota Johnson an alien or a robot? Why is the villain clearly ADR’d? Did Pepsi sponsor this movie as anti-Coke Cola propaganda? Listen and find out!
Madame Web is directed by S. J. Clarkson and stars Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, Celeste O’Connor, Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps, Emma Roberts, and Adam Scott.

Episode 231 - Borderlands
Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema’s biggest box failures and decide if they deserve a second chance.
Look out, Vault Hunters, ‘cause the “Bombs of 2024” have “clapped” their way over to Pandora for the hot mess express that is... Borderlands! Based on the billion-dollar game series we all know and love (or, like, kinda tolerate), this movie decides to take everything that makes Borderlands epic—yes, I'm talkin' guns, humor, awesome visuals—and toss it all in a dumpster fire! Hope you came for laughs? NOPE! Hoping for gun-toting, loot-lovin' action? AS IF! How about jaw-dropping visuals? PSYCH!
But don’t worry! Not a Bomb is here to help you trudge through this nightmare. We’ve got the awesome Mike McGranaghan from “The Aisle Seat” joining in on the chaos. Can this movie offer anything to the fans? Or is it just another facepalm on Pandora? You’ll have to tune in to find out!
Borderlands is directed by Eli Roth and stars Cate Blanchett, Kevin Hart, Jack Black, Edgar Ramirez, Ariana Greenblatt, Florian Munteanu, Gina Gershon, and Jamie Lee Curtis.
