Episode 226 - The Mummy (2017)
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!
Spooky season has arrived, and what’s more haunting than films that flopped at the box office? We’re kicking off Spooktober with Troy’s favorite actor, Tom Cruise, and his 2017 fantasy action-adventure The Mummy. Joined by frequent guest Sammy of the GGTMC, the crew gets “wrapped up” in a lively discussion. Troy quizzes the gang on their favorite Cruise movies (no shame here!), and they dive deep into some lesser-known gems from the actor’s career. Eventually, they unravel the mystery of The Mummy itself—packed with all the classic Tom Cruise charm. With a mere 15% on Rotten Tomatoes and the title of Cruise’s lowest-rated film, could The Mummy actually be “Not A Bomb”? Tune in and find out!
The Mummy (2017) is directed Alex Kurtzman and stars Tom Cruise, Annabelle Wallis, Sofia Boutella, Jake Johnson, Courtney B. Vance, Marwan Kenzari and Russell Crowe

Episode 225 - Wolfen
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!
Sadly, Listener Request Month has reached its final full moon, but don’t worry—Troy and Brad are still howling with excitement for the last suggestion. Dedicated pack member Philip sank his fangs into Wolfen, a horror crime thriller often mistaken for a werewolf flick. But surprise—Wolfen is more of a police procedural than a howling night of lycanthropic mayhem. The guys sniff out why Wolfen didn’t quite sink its claws into audiences, bask in the coolness of Gregory Hines, and even sink their teeth into 10 horror films they’re gearing up to devour in October.
Wolfen is directed by Michael Wadleigh and stars Albertt Finney, Diane Venora, Edward James Olmos, Gregory Hines and Tom Noonan.
