Episode 221 - The Avengers (1998)

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.

To launch Listener Request Month, agents Troy and Brad were handed a covert mission: select a spy flick. Their choice? The Avengers. But hold your horses, this isn’t that Avengers. No capes, no superheroes—just the 1998 version. A tangled mess of a film, so baffling it left everyone scratching their heads. Jeremiah S. Chechik, the director, well... let’s just say, after this disaster, he found himself locked up in movie prison. Tune in as the boys unravel the chaos, question if any pair of leads has ever shared less chemistry, and wonder why in the world you'd hire Eddie Izzard… and not let her talk.

The Avengers, directed by Jeremiah S. Chechik, stars Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman, Sean Connery, and Jim Broadbent.

Not A Bomb has just unveiled new designs in our Merch store! We're thrilled to share these with you. Head over to the Not A Bomb Tee Public store and check them out. Special thanks to Ted Blair for the amazing designs!

Episode 220 - Infinity Pool

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema's biggest box office failures and whether they deserve a second chance.

This week on the podcast, Troy and Brad embark on a trip to Li Tolqa for some much-needed resort relaxation. As vacation month comes to a close, the guys dive into the 2023 horror sci-fi film Infinity Pool. A heads-up: if you're planning to watch the movie, it’s best to listen after you’ve seen it. The discussion is packed with spoilers, and going into Infinity Pool with as little prior knowledge as possible will enhance the experience. And just a warning—this episode is definitely not safe for work.

Brandon Cronenberg directed Infinity Pool, and stars Alexander Skarsgard, Mia Goth, and Cleopatra Coleman.

Episode 219 - EuroTrip

Guten Tag! Welcome back to your favorite podcast about some of cinema’s biggest bombs.

This week, we embarked on an unforgettable journey with our trusty companions, Troy and Brad, and a special guest—none other than John from the YouTube channel - And Now For Something A Little Bit Different. Our destination? The wild, unpredictable world of 2004’s notorious comedy, EuroTrip.

As we journeyed through the ups and downs of this cinematic adventure, we couldn’t help but long for the familiar laughs of sex comedy classics like American Pie and Porky’s. Poor Scotty didn’t know, or perhaps just wasn’t prepared, for the disdain some of us would harbor for this merry jaunt through various European locales, led by four of the dullest characters ever to grace the screen. Yet, amid the chuckles and eye-rolls, a lone defender rose to the occasion, ready to champion this so-called "gem." It was a whirlwind of emotions as we explored this quirky piece of film history, and trust us - you won't want to miss out on this hilarious and slightly painful ride!

EuroTrip is directed by Jeff Schaffer and stars Scott Mechlowicz, Jacob Pitts, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Travis Wester
