Episode 87 - Cats (2019)
Welcome back to a “Jellicle” episode of Not A Bomb podcast. Spousal picks continue as Brad’s wonderful wife, Natalie, picks 2019’s musical - Cats. In a film that truly must be seen to believe, Cats is the live-action adaption of the stage musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Considered one of the worst films of all time and one of the biggest bombs, Cats turns some of the greatest living actors into weird CGI cat-humanoids and some of the most bizarre “cat acting” ever seen.
Troy and Brad discuss everything from accidental CGI cat buttholes, spending four months in cat school, weird set designs with scaling issues, the meaning of jellicle, dancing cockroaches, and so, so much more. Additionally, Brad declares to hate musicals, only to realize he likes a ton of musicals. Oh, and Taylor Swift isn’t the main character - Brad was confused for most of the film. But she kinda plays a cat drug dealer so…yeah, there’s that.

Episode 86 - The Pest
Welcome back to Not A Bomb! Normally, this is the podcast where the gang tries to champion films that were either financial flops or critically panned. BUT NOT TODAY! For this month, Troy and Brad have recruited their amazing wives to pick the films they discuss, and it starts off worse than anyone could have imagined. Tabitha Sauer, the sublime and loving wife of Troy, picks 1997’s comedy (?) - The Pest. Yes, the guys immediately regret their theme for this month and contemplate whether to quit the podcast. Fortunately, or unfortunately for all of you since this episode exists, they managed to get through this week’s viewing experience.
Listen as Troy loses his mind and continually curses like he’s in a Martin Scorsese film and Brad wonders how in the world The Pest has a 68% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes. This is why we can’t have nice things!
The Pest is “directed” by Paul Miller and stars John Leguizamo and Jeffery Jones.
