Episode 243 - The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
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.
On this week’s episode of Not A Bomb, Troy, and Brad are happy to welcome back to the show Sammy from the GGTMC to discuss the fantasy adventure film - The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. As a four-time Academy Award-nominated film, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is one of the more decorated movies discussed on the show. Sadly, those nominations did not translate to box office success, and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen failed to recoup the $46 million budget. Does the third film of the “Trilogy of Imagination” deserve a second look? "Or should this ludicrous yarn erupt into a fiery spectacle, only to be swiftly forgotten, like last week's turnip stew?"
The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is directed by Terry Gilliam and stars John Neville, Eric Idle, Sarah Polley, Oliver Reed, Uma Thurman, Johnathan Pryce, and Valentina Cortese.

Episode 51 - Brazil
Welcome to the Ministry of information Podcast. Please complete all appropriate paperwork, including form B37-42 subsection C, and listen to the latest episode of Not A Bomb. On this vey bureaucratic episode, the guys discuss 1985’s science fiction/dystopian film - Brazil. Directed by Monty Python troupe member, Terry Gilliam, Brazil is known as one of the most visually stunning films of all time with an especially “dark” ending. While the film had no problem being released internationally, Universal studios had an issue with the length of the film as well as the depressing ending. The story of what transpired behind the scenes is almost as fascinating as what showed up on the big screen!
Brazil is a satirical take on corporate work life, which seems to be too close to home for both Troy and Brad. Additionally, Brazil sparks comparisons to Southland Tales which leads Brad to say a few nice words about the Richard Kelly opus.
Brazil is directed by Terry Gilliam and stars Jonathan Pryce, Robert De Niro, Katherine Helmond, Ian Holm, Bob Hoskins, Michael Palin, Ian Richardson, Peter Vaughan, and Kim Greist.
