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 179 - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)
Step into the shadowy realm of Not A Bomb podcast, where we usually dissect the celluloid carcasses of the biggest cinematic misfires, searching for a glimmer of redemption. Emphasis on "usually," for this time around, one of our own sleuths botched the job, opting for a flick that wasn't just a cash cow but a darling of both critics and the masses.
In this Noirvember rendezvous, the fellas welcome back Josh from The VHS Files, delving into the foggy alleys of 2011's neo-noir opus - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Adapted from Stieg Larsson's tome and the 2009 rendition, this remake might just be the elusive phoenix that eclipses its predecessor. Maestro David Fincher paints a chiaroscuro masterpiece against the icy backdrop of Scandinavia, weaving a dark tapestry of neo-noir intrigue.
Tune in as the crew navigates the labyrinth of why this film is so explosive, discovering along the way that our host, Brad, is a bit hazy on the premise of his own show. Witness accountability in the dim glow of the studio lights as they unravel the enigma of choices made in the noir shadows.
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011) is directed by David FIncher and stars Daniel Craig, Rooney Mara, Christopher Plummer, Stellan Skarsgard, Steven Berkoff, Robin Wright, Yorick van Wageningen, and Joely Richardson.
