NAB Presents: The Classics - Deliverance
Welcome to Not A Bomb Presents The Classics, a series where Jose and Sammy join Troy and Brad to discuss some of the greatest films ever. In the second edition, the gang travels down the river and uses their pretty mouths to talk about 1972’s Deliverance. Consider one of the great American films of all time; Deliverance brought the world dueling banjos and squealing like a pig and hunk Burt Reynolds. However, it also brought one of the more thought-provoking, transgressive thrillers of all time. How well does this 1972 classic hold up? Listen and find out!
We hope you join us on this upcoming journey as Not A Bomb takes on The Classics!

Episode 196 - Runaway Train (with Austin Trunick)
Welcome back to another exciting episode of Not A Bomb Podcast. This is the podcast where we re-examine some of the biggest bombs in cinematic history.
Oh man, do we have a treat for you! This week’s show is all about Cannon films, and you can’t talk about Cannon without Austin Trunick. Austin is the author of two excellent retrospective books - The Cannon Film Guide: Vol 1 and 2. If you have ever wanted to know something about Cannon Films, Austin is the guy to talk to. While Cannon created a ton of cult favorites, they also dipped their toes into some prestige storytelling. We decided to go a bit more “highbrow” with this week’s choice and are discussing 1985’s Runaway Train. This Academy Award nominated film started as a screenplay by legendary filmmaker Akira Kurosawa and was passed around by several Hollywood executives. The story of two escaped convicts who become stuck on a…you guessed it…runaway train finally found a home with Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus.
Austin brings so much insight to this film and we are super excited he joined us for this week’s conversation. So, sit back, relax, and learn all about one of the best stories to come out of The Cannon Group, Runaway Train.

Episode 195 - Dark Phoenix
Welcome back to your favorite podcast about some of the biggest bombs in film history. In this week’s episode, we discuss one of the biggest cinematic flops for 20th Century Fox and Marvel Entertainment, 2019’s Dark Phoenix. This is the fourth installment of the prequel films and the 12th installment in the X-Men film series. Dark Phoenix had all the trademarks of a bomb such as numerous re-shoots based on test screenings, studio mergers, uninterested actors, a first-time director, shifting management, and poor marketing. Do all these factors make Dark Phoenix a bomb? Were audiences, critics, and comic book fans too harsh on this version of “The Dark Phoenix Saga?” Download the episode and hear our thoughts!
Special thanks to our good friend Jose from Watch / Skip+ for stopping by and helping out with the discussion!
Dark Phoenix is directed by Simon Kinberg and stars James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence, Nicholas Hoult, Sophie Turner, Tye Sheridan, Alexandra Shipp, and Jessica Chastain
Make sure to check out Jose on Watch/Skip+ and make sure to drop them a review!
Also, James, friend of the show, lost his beloved dog - Penny a little bit ago. If you would like to donate to the GoFundMe, please do so and help out a great guy during this most difficult time.
