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 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
