On the terrifying conclusion to the Not a Bomb spooktacular season of horror sequel bombs, the gang welcomes back friend of the show Sammy from the GGTMC to chat about the third installment of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre series - Leatherface: The Texas Chainsaw Massacre III. This episode mostly acts as a two-hour excuse to make dumb jokes about an obscure 80’s horror film, Stepfather II: Make Room for Daddy. Yes, you read that title correctly.

Episode 122 - Dominion: The Prequel to The Exorcist Oct 12, 2022

Show notes

Spooky Season rolls on as Not A Bomb tackles one of the most fascinating film productions of all time, 2005’s supernatural thriller - Dominion: The Prequel to The Exorcist. After a disastrous screening with the studio, Morgan Creek then went on to retool Dominion. In essence, the studio hired a new director, replaced a big portion of the cast, spent $50 million dollars to reshoot a majority of scenes and eventually released it as Exorcist: The Beginning. The reason for this insanity? The producers and studio heads felt Dominion lacked the scares to carry the Exorcist name. The gang brings back Jose from the Watch/Skip+ podcast to help breakdown Dominion’s themes of questioning faith, the evils of man, and moral angst. Don’t worry, there are still plenty of jokes about cartoon hyenas and horse teeth as well as Troy mispronouncing a majority of the filmmakers’ last names. This episode sounds intellectual, but it maintains the same goofiness you’ve come to expect from the hosts. Timestamps: Intro - (0:53), Production and Development - (13:35), Box Office Results and Critical Response - (24:48), Behind the Camera - (33:34), In Front of the Camera - (55:02), Break - (63:37), Dominion Discussion - (66:00), Is it a Bomb? - (106:45), Exorcist: The Beginning Warning - (111:23), Listener Feedback - (129:33), Outro - (140:54) Dominion: The Prequel to The Exorcist is directed by Paul Shrader and stars Stellan Skarsgard, Gabriel Mann, Clara Bellar, Billy Crawford, and Ralph Brown. Exorcist: The Beginning is directed by Renny Harlin and stars Stellan Skarsgard, James D’Arcy, and Izabella Scorupco.

Show notes

Welcome back to your favorite podcast about some of the most notorious cinema bombs of all time. On this week’s episode, the gang discusses one of the most infamous big budget films of all time - Waterworld, AKA Kevin’s Gate, AKA Fishtar. Waterworld was the most expensive movie ever made, at the time, and was plagued by bad press, difficult production, and clashes between the main star and director. Not A Bomb could not tackle such a film on their own, so they called friend of the show - Josh from The VHS Files podcast to assist in the discussion. Was Waterworld the disaster the press made it out to be? Was this a case of critics reviewing the budget rather than the film? Or is this really a simple and fun Mad Max ripoff with some spectacular action sequences? Listen and find out!

Episode 117 - Congo Sep 07, 2022

Show notes

It has been argued that there is no such thing as a “perfect” film. On this week’s episode of Not A Bomb, we put that theory to the test as Troy and Brad discuss 1995’s talking gorilla film - Congo. The guys cannot tackle such a film as Congo without help, so they welcome Charlie back to the show but also The Twisted Kid Matt - host of The Mix Tape Podcast makes his Not A Bomb debut. The podcast quickly devolves into juvenile human/gorilla relationship jokes, turning Dylan Walsh into a human punching bag, and praising what should have been Delroy Lindo’s Academy Award Winning performance. *** Just a warning, this episode is NSFW so DO NOT listen in your car with your kids! Seriously! You might have to explain some very politically incorrect jokes. You’ve been warned! Timestamps: Intro - (0:39), 5 Buning Questions for Twisted Kid Matt, Box Office Results and Critical Response - (15:00), Behind the Camera - (19:59), In Front of the Camera - (25:19), Commercial Break - (37:19), Congo Discussion - (39:14), Is it a Bomb? - (99:35), info on The Mix Tape Podcast - (106:27), What’s next? - (111:35), and Outro - (128:56) Congo is directed by Frank Marshall and stars Laura Linney, Dylan Walsh, Ernie Hudson, Grant Heslov, Joe Don Baker, Tim Curry, and Bruce Campbell. If you want to leave feedback or suggest a movie bomb, please drop us a line at NotABombPod@gmail.com. Also, if you like what you hear, leave a review on Apple Podcast.
