Episode 246 - Drop Zone Vs. Terminal Velocity (Movie Matchup March)
Welcome back to Not A Bomb podcast, the show where we tackle cinema’s biggest box office failures and decide if they deserve a second chance.
March’s special theme cranks the adrenaline to the max as Troy and Brad throw it back to their original podcast showdown—where only one film can reign supreme. This time, they’re diving headfirst into the high-flying world of Parachute Action Films, pitting Drop Zone against Terminal Velocity (nope, not Point Break, but close). And to help break down the mid-air mayhem, they’ve got John from And Now For Something a Little Bit Different joining the jump. Which flick sticks the landing? Who brings the better skydiving swagger—Charlie Sheen or Wesley Snipes? Buckle up, freefall fanatics, because this debate is going terminal!
Drop Zone is directed by John Badham and stars Wesley Snipes, Gary Busey, Yancy Butler, and Michael Jeter
Terminal Velocity Deran Sarafian and stars Charlie Sheen, Nastassja Kinski, James Gandolfini, and Chrisopher McDonald

Episode 158 - Money Train
Come on, ride the train (choo choo ride), and ride it (woo woo) (choo choo ride)!
On this episode of Not A Bomb podcast, the guys welcome back friend of the podcast, Nate, to discuss 1995’s buddy action comedy - Money Train. Following the success of White Men Can’t Jump, studios hoped to replicate the box office return by reuniting Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson. The resulting film was 1995’s Money Train. Sadly, the film failed to make a White Men Can’t Jump sized impact and was both a financial and critical failure.
Sure, Money Train might not be White Men Can’t Jump quality but were audiences and critics wrong about the movie? Is a 1995 Jennifer Lopez worth the price of admission? Does the chemistry of Snipes and Harrelson elevate a mediocre script? Download this week’s episode and find out. As a bonus, you get to hear the gang’s thoughts on White Men Can’t Jump. A great big shout out to Valencia for the suggestion!
