Episode 245 - Barb Wire
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.
This week, Brad and Troy dive into one of the biggest box office flops of 1996, Barb Wire. In the '90s, Pamela Anderson was riding high on her success with Baywatch and grabbing headlines due to her high-profile marriage to Tommy Lee. She also took on a role in a film based on a Dark Horse Comics character, which ended up being an unofficial remake of Casablanca. The experiment didn’t go over well. Critics slammed the movie, and audiences stayed away from Pamela’s action-packed, face-kicking, gun-slinging performance. But is the film really as bad as the critics say? Does Barbara "Barb Wire" Kopetski deserve a second chance with today's audiences? Download the latest episode and find out!
Special thanks to Jose from Watch Skip Plus for joing the conversation. As usual, Jose brings his unique take on this box office bomb.
Barb Wire is directed by David Hogan and stars Pamela Anderson Lee, Temuera Morrison, Victoria Rowell, Jack Noseworthy, Xander Berkeley, Udo Kier, and Steve Railsback

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.
