Episode 104 - Howard the Duck
Call him Howard THE DUCK (ooh) ain’t no way to conceal it.
With feathers touch I love him apart.
That’s right, ladies and gentlemen, on this very special two-year anniversary episode of Not A Bomb, the gang assembles to discuss one of the weirdest superhero films ever put up on the big screen - Howard the Duck. Based on the Marvel Comic character of the same name and executive produced by George Lucas, Howard the Duck was both critically panned and a financial flop. There is no way that Brad and Troy could tackle such a movie by themselves, so they brought in comic book expert, John Nance, to the flock.
