Buckle up—another wild ride with Not A Bomb is hitting the airwaves! This week, Troy and Brad are cruising through the gritty, chaotic streets of 1983’s D.C. Cab, answering a special request from one of our most loyal fans. Directed by Joel Schumacher, this cult oddity follows a wide-eyed rookie cabbie as he stumbles into a series of bizarre misadventures behind the wheel. It’s loud, it’s messy, and it doesn’t shy away from language and humor that haven’t aged well—so consider this your content warning for outdated and offensive material. The real question: is this movie a forgotten gem or a fare best left unclaimed? Fire up the meter and tune in to find out!
D.C. Cab is directed by Joel Schumacher and stars Adam Baldwin, Charlie Barnett, Irene Cara, Anne De Salvo, Max Gail, Mr. T, Jose Perez, Paul Rodriguez, and Gary Busey.

Comic Book Month kicks off with a bang as Not A Bomb tackles a legendary title once deemed “unfilmable.” So, who did Hollywood call? Zack Snyder, of course…
Join the crew as they time-jump back to 1985 and dive into the Ultimate Cut of Watchmen (2009)—a bold adaptation of one of the greatest graphic novels ever written. While the theatrical release struggled to connect with mainstream audiences, does the Ultimate Cut finally deliver the definitive version fans were hoping for?
Helping unpack this dense and divisive film is long-time listener and first-time guest Alex, who brings fresh insight to the conversation. The episode also explores Warner Bros. Animation’s 2024 Watchmen: Chapter I & II releases and how they stack up against Snyder’s vision.
Who watches the Watchmen? Not A Bomb does—and now you can too.
Watchmen is directed by Zach Snyder and stars Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Carla Gugino, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeffery Dean Morgan, and Patrick Wilson

Behold! In the age of steel and shadow, the warriors of Not a Bomb gather 'round the blazing fire to speak of a long-forgotten legend—Red Sonja, the first of Marvel’s sagas to stride onto the silver screen. With flame-haired fury, she is portrayed by the statuesque shield-maiden Brigitte Nielsen. Beside her, the mighty Arnold of the House Schwarzenegger appears—not as Conan the Cimmerian, but as some other sword-swinging warlord, lost to the winds of poor writing.
Lo! The tale sought to ride the wave of the Hyborian Age, yet it faltered like a drunk on a dragon’s back. Scorned by the masses and mocked by the scribes, Red Sonja was cast into the abyss of forgotten films.
But fear not, wanderers of cult cinema! For this day, a champion rises! Kevin, blood-brother to the podcast, joins the fray—his insight as sharp as Valeria’s blade—as the trio cleaves through the chaos of camp and carnage.
Is Red Sonja worthy of your precious hours? Or should it be banished to the lands of bad movie exile? Only one way to know—summon the episode and listen, if ye dare!
