Episode 151 - Stay Tuned
Welcome back to another exciting episode of Not A Bomb. This is the podcast where we go back and reexamine some of the biggest bombs in cinematic history and see if they deserve a second chance. On this week’s episode, the guys are joined by friend of the show and TV nerd, John Nance, to discuss 1992’s fantasy/comedy, Stay Tuned. A self-referential, meta comedy, Stay Tuned finds a couple being sucked into their television and must survive 24 hours of parody tv/movie stations. Stay Tuned released to mixed reviews and very light box office results. In fact, most people forgot about this film, and it doesn’t get much discussion when film fans talk about Peter Hyams’ filmography. How does this box office flop stand the test of time? Do the references still work today? Is there a better lovable loser than John Ritter? Is Peter Hyams one of the most underrated directors of the 80’s and 90’s? Listen and find out!

NAB Presents: Breaking Brad - Experiment 4: B.C. Butcher
Welcome back to Not A Bomb Presents: Breaking Brad! Troy, Sammy from the GGTMC, and Jose from the Watch/Skip+ pick some of the worst films imaginable to see if they can break Brad. On this episode, the gang is joined by a few friends from one of the longest running horror podcasts, Night of the Living Podcast, to tackle 2016’s B.C. Butcher. Our special guests, Amy and Freddy, picked out this little gem for Brad which was dubbed as "the first prehistoric slasher film." The film is also notable for starring the infamous internet celebrity Kato Kaelin. The director, at the time, was only 17 years old so surely Brad cut her some slack….right? Listen as the episode completely derails into dad jokes, quacks, and Spike Lee. The big question, however…did B.C. Butcher break Brad?
Freddy and Amy host one of the longest running horror podcasts on the internet - Night of the Living Podcast, please go check it out!
Be sure to subscribe to the Gentlemen’s Guide to Midnite Cinema to hear more of Sammy. Also, check out Jose’s podcast - Watch/Skip+ • A podcast on Anchor. Both are highly recommended.
