Episode 213 - The Alamo
Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we dive into some of cinema's biggest box office failures and explore whether they deserve a second chance.
As we roll into the summer months, Not A Bomb has decided to dedicate July to the Summer Blockbuster season. That particular time of year when film budgets seemingly have no limit. To kick off our Summer Blockbuster extravaganza, Troy and Brad tackle 2004’s historical drama - The Alamo. All this is well and good, but here is what you need to know: the summer blockbuster season is May-August. That was the assignment, and Brad picked a film released in April, so we are already off to a great start! Outside of someone’s inability to understand time, we hope you enjoy the episode.
The Alamo is directed by John Lee Hancock and stars Dennis Quaid, Billy Bob Thornton, Jason Patric, Patrick Wilson, Jordi Molla, and Emilio Echevarria

Episode 211 - Alexander (Ultimate Cut)
Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we dive into some of cinema's biggest box office failures and explore whether they deserve a second chance.
Join us for "Sword and Sandals" month, where historical drama takes center stage in this week's episode! We delve into Oliver Stone's 2004 epic, Alexander, a film notorious for its box office struggles and multiple “Razzie” nominations. Despite its initial reception, Stone has revisited and revised the film multiple times, with the final version boasting nearly 50 additional minutes of content. But do these changes elevate the movie? Does Angelina Jolie’s performance fit in a fantasy epic like Kull the Conqueror? And can Oliver Stone still be considered a top-tier director after this historical misstep? Tune in to explore these questions and more!
Alexander is directed by Oliver Stone and stars Colin Farrell, Angelina Jolie, Val Kilmer, Jared Leto, Rosario Dawson, and Anthony Hopkins.
