Episode 331 - Jacob’s Ladder (1990)
This week on Not A Bomb, Troy and Brad descend into a waking nightmare with 1990's Jacob's Ladder. Starring Tim Robbins and directed by Adrian Lyne, this psychological mind-bender blurs the lines between reality, hallucination, and pure terror.
While Jacob's Ladder might not fit the traditional definition of a horror film, make no mistake — this is one of the most unsettling and nightmarish cinematic experiences you'll ever encounter. With disturbing imagery, an overwhelming sense of dread, and a story that keeps you questioning everything, Jacob's Ladder proves that sometimes the scariest things aren't monsters lurking in the shadows, but the horrors hiding inside our own minds.
Join Troy and Brad as they attempt to make sense of this haunting film and decide whether Jacob's Ladder is truly a bomb!

Episode 146 - Hudson Hawk
Welcome back to another exciting episode of Not A Bomb. This is the podcast where we go back and reexamine some of the biggest bombs in cinematic history and see if they deserve a second chance. On this week’s episode, the guys are joined by Sammy from the GGTMC and Jose from Watch/Skip+ to discuss 1991’s action comedy - Hudson Hawk. Starring the legendary Bruce Willis as our titular character, Hudson Hawk leans heavy into the comedy and the works of Leonardo da Vinci. Yeah, this film is pretty bonkers. Audiences and critics didn’t “catch the Hawk” on its initial release but the film has become a cult hit. Did our podcast crew enjoy Bruno’s vanity project and laugh at all of the silly quips? Or did somebody side with the general audience and find this movie to be a chore to sit through? Download and find out!
Timestamps: Intro - (1:03), Box Office Results, Critical Response, and Movie Guide Review - (3:09), Behind the Camera - (8:29), In Front of the Camera - (26:34), Production and Development - (55:50), Commerical Break - (60:03), Hudson Hawk Discussion - (61:53), Is it a Bomb? - (98:42), Listener Feedback - (101:40), and Outro - (124:38)
Hudson Hawk is directed by Michael Lehmann and stars Bruce Willis, Danny Aiello, Andie MacDowell, Richard E. Grant, Sandra Bernhard, Donald Burton, and James Coburn.
