Episode 242 - The Hudsucker Proxy
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.
Troy and Brad are back with a brand-new episode of Not A Bomb! This week, they're diving into the wacky world of corporate America with the 1994 screwball comedy The Hudsucker Proxy. Picture this: an evil Paul Newman on a mission to dominate the world of business, and let's say you'll never look at a hula hoop the same way again.
This film is like a love letter to 1930s and 1940s Hollywood. Join the guys as they navigate the absurdity: Are they celebrating classic cinema or tossing confetti at an odd-ball knock-up? Tune in to find out if this movie is a hidden gem or another big corporate blunder that needs a fiscal timeout!
The Hudsucker Proxy is directed by Joel Coen and stars Tim Robbins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Paul Newman.
Head over to the Not A Bomb Tee Public store and check them out. Special thanks to Ted Blair for the amazing designs!

Episode 162 - Green Lantern
“In brightest day, in blackest night, no evil shall escape this podcast.”
Welcome back to your favorite podcast about some of Hollywood’s biggest bombs. On this week’s episode, the guys welcome back Sammy from the GGTMC to discuss 2011’s superhero film - Green Lantern. As one of the biggest box-office bombs of all time, it was only a matter of time before the gang tackled Hal Jordan and his magical ring. With a production budget of $200 Million, Green Lantern was marred by director/actor conflicts, less than stellar CGI, several rewrites, and extended scenes of expository dialogue. Somehow, the guys discuss all those issues and Mutated Ron Jeremy! The more important question….did anybody actually enjoy the film? Download and find out!

Episode 129 - The Shawshank Redemption
Ladies and gentlemen, the Academy Award for Best Podcast about movies that bombed theatrically goes to…Not a Bomb Podcast! Prestige Month comes to an end, but Troy and Brad discuss one of the most popular films of all time - The Shawshank Redemption. This marks Troy’s inaugural viewing of this revered prison film which has been labeled the most “beloved” film of all time. Apparently, he didn’t catch it during one of the gazillion showings on TNT in 1998. Brad explains how this box office bomb gained prominence among the film community over the years and the guys spend a little time sharing their favorite films from the prison genre. The big question, however, is this…does The Shawshank Redemption deserve the label of “best film ever” after all of these years or is it simply a good story about hope and friendship?
