Episode 221 - The Avengers (1998)
Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema's biggest box office failures and decide if they deserve a second chance.
To launch Listener Request Month, agents Troy and Brad were handed a covert mission: select a spy flick. Their choice? The Avengers. But hold your horses, this isn’t that Avengers. No capes, no superheroes—just the 1998 version. A tangled mess of a film, so baffling it left everyone scratching their heads. Jeremiah S. Chechik, the director, well... let’s just say, after this disaster, he found himself locked up in movie prison. Tune in as the boys unravel the chaos, question if any pair of leads has ever shared less chemistry, and wonder why in the world you'd hire Eddie Izzard… and not let her talk.
The Avengers, directed by Jeremiah S. Chechik, stars Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman, Sean Connery, and Jim Broadbent.

Episode 220 - Infinity Pool
Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema's biggest box office failures and whether they deserve a second chance.
This week on the podcast, Troy and Brad embark on a trip to Li Tolqa for some much-needed resort relaxation. As vacation month comes to a close, the guys dive into the 2023 horror sci-fi film Infinity Pool. A heads-up: if you're planning to watch the movie, it’s best to listen after you’ve seen it. The discussion is packed with spoilers, and going into Infinity Pool with as little prior knowledge as possible will enhance the experience. And just a warning—this episode is definitely not safe for work.
Brandon Cronenberg directed Infinity Pool, and stars Alexander Skarsgard, Mia Goth, and Cleopatra Coleman.
