Welcome back to your favorite podcast about some of Hollywood’s biggest bombs. This month, Not A Bomb is examining some of 2023’s biggest box office failures and critically lambasted films! Brace yourselves, as we’ve got an abundance of movies to explore!

In this week’s episode, we’re thrilled to have Sammy from the GGTMC joining us as we kick the month off by tackling one of the biggest superhero flops, The Flash. From production issues to lead actor troubles, questionable CGI, and the public’s superhero fatigue, The Flash stands as a colossal superhero misfire.

Episode 181 - A Simple Plan

Sadly, the case closes on this Noirvember. But, we have one more bullet in the chamber and that bullet has A Simple Plan written all over it.

In the shadows of '98, a celluloid masterpiece emerged, swathed in the seductive embrace of noir's enigma and ethical quandaries. A Simple Plan transcended mere cinema; it plunged deep into the murky abyss of the human psyche.

Director Sam Raimi, a maestro of the visual canvas, conjures a hauntingly picturesque scene. The snow-laden backdrop becomes a mirror, reflecting the characters' ever-distorting moral compasses. Bill Paxton, Billy Bob Thornton, and Bridget Fonda, leading players in this grim narrative, find themselves ensnared in a moral maze where trust and fidelity are precious commodities.

Step into the dimly lit sanctum as we welcome listener, Patrick Smith, to our rendezvous. Together, we'll unravel the mystery etched into the celluloid fabric of this noir opus. Let's dissect Raimi's directorial finesse, savor Billy Bob Thornton's Academy Award nominated performance, and unearth the thematic elements that etch A Simple Plan into the pantheon of timeless film noir.

In the world of noir, every tale is a moral labyrinth, and A Simple Plan stands as our guiding beacon through the murky waters of fate.

A Simple Plan is directed by Sam Raimi and stars Billy Bob Thorton, Bill Paxton, Bridget Fonda, Brent Briscoe, Gary Cole, Chelcie Ross and Becky Ann Baker.
