Episode 191 - Jupiter Ascending
Welcome back to your favorite podcast about some of the biggest bombs in cinematic history. On this week’s episode, we once again find ourselves in sci-fi town with the 2015 space opera film Jupiter Ascending. Boasting a budget north of $200M, Jupiter Ascending left general audiences bewildered by the lack of character development, terrible script, nonexistent performances, dodgy CGI, and whatever Eddie Redmayne was doing on screen. This film is a misfire on all aspects. One starts to wonder just how it all went wrong and how The Wachowskis could go from The Matrix to a dog-man “surfing” with gravity boots. Woof!
Jupiter Ascending is directed by The Wachowskis and stars Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis, Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, and Douglas Booth.

Episode 118 - Waterworld
Welcome back to your favorite podcast about some of the most notorious cinema bombs of all time. On this week’s episode, the gang discusses one of the most infamous big budget films of all time - Waterworld, AKA Kevin’s Gate, AKA Fishtar. Waterworld was the most expensive movie ever made, at the time, and was plagued by bad press, difficult production, and clashes between the main star and director. Not A Bomb could not tackle such a film on their own, so they called friend of the show - Josh from The VHS Files podcast to assist in the discussion. Was Waterworld the disaster the press made it out to be? Was this a case of critics reviewing the budget rather than the film? Or is this really a simple and fun Mad Max ripoff with some spectacular action sequences? Listen and find out!
Timestamps: Intro - (2:25), Box Office Results and Critical Response - (10:27), Behind the Camera - (19:18), In Front of the Camera - (28:41), Production and Development - (40:59), Commercial Break - (56:02), Waterworld Discussion - (56:18), Is it a Bomb? - (94:45), Listener Feedback - (97:18), Next Week’s Pick - (106:18), Outro - (113:14)
