Episode 84 - Riders of Justice
Welcome back to another exciting episode of Not A Bomb podcast. This is the show where we reexamine films that bombed at the box office or were panned by the critics. This week, the gang checks out a film from the far-off land of Denmark, 2021’s action/comedy/drama - Riders of Justice. At first glance, this one looks like a dark, humorous revenge story and can easily be thrown into the John Wick/Taken pile. However, Riders of Justice is a much deeper and meditative movie.
Troy and Brad bring back their buddy, Sammy from the GGMTC, to help with a discussion about free will, predestination, religion, and fatherhood. Ultimately, the gang determines if a small film from Denmark is truly a bomb or one of the best movies to hit US theaters in 2021.
Riders of Justice is directed by Anders Thomas Jensen and stars Mads Mikkelsen, Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Andrea Heick Gadeberg, Lars Brygmann, and Nicolas Bro. Check out Jensen’s previous work - Flickering Lights, and Men & Chicken.

Episode 82 - Raging Fire
Happy New Year, and welcome back to another face kicking episode of Not A Bomb. Using the “Donnie Yen” clause in the podcast bylaws, the boys are starting the new year talking about 2021’s Hong Kong police/action film - Raging Fire. This is Benny Chan’s final directorial film before his passing in 2020 and feels like a throwback to classic Hong Kong cinema of the 80’s and 90’s. Raging Fire is the story of a righteous cop who must cross paths with his former protégé. Both Troy and Brad think this is one of the best action films from last year, if not the last 5 years, and recommend you seek it out immediately.
To kick off the podcast, the guys talk about their holiday break and some of the films they watched. Additionally, Troy explains the reason why there are seven production companies on this film and the difficulties working within the Chinese government. Oh, and obviously, the boys guy-crush over Donnie Yen for a solid hour.
Raging Fire is directed by Benny Chan and stars Donnie Yen, Nicholas Tse, and Qin Lan.
