Episode 217 - Vegas Vacation
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!
Pack your bags! We’re hitting the road; it's vacation time! For August, Not A Bomb's theme is vacation movies! Troy and Brad ride down the holiday road with the Griswold family in their fourth installment of the Vacation films, 1997s Vegas Vacation. Did the Griswold Cinematic Universe (GCU) run its course when Sparky and the gang found their way to Sin City? Does a PG rating, a sleepy performance from Chevy Chase, and a “barely-there” plot make Vegas Vacation a certified bomb? Surprisingly, one of the hosts has watched this thing 900 times! You’re going to have to listen and find out who is the expert of the GCU!
Vegas Vacation is directed by Stephen Kessler and stars Chevy Chase, Beverly D’Angelo, Randy Quaid, Wayne Newton, Ethan Embry, and Wallace Shawn.

NAB Presents: The Classics - M
Not A Bomb Presents The Classics is a series where Jose and Sammy join Troy and Brad to discuss some of the greatest films in history. This episode is a bit late for March, but we hope it's worth the wait. In this classic installment, the guys delve into Fritz Lang’s 1931 German suspense thriller - M. The film features Peter Lorre as Hans Beckert, a serial killer who targets children. The story revolves around the intense search for Beckert by the police and the criminal underworld. This film is notable for its early use of procedural drama elements and innovative cinematic techniques, such as long tracking shots and a musical leitmotif. “M” is widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever and significantly influenced modern crime. How well does this 1931 classic hold up? Listen in to find out!
