Episode 287 - Caught Stealing
Welcome back to Not A Bomb! —the podcast where we resurrect cinema’s most infamous box office disasters and ask the burning question: was it really that bad? We’re celebrating five years of cinematic redemption.
Not A Bomb! marches on with their discussion of some of the biggest bombs of 2025. Some movies stroll into the Not A Bomb clubhouse with a polite knock. Others kick the door down, track mud across the carpet, and immediately ask where you keep the bourbon. Caught Stealing (2025) is absolutely the second kind.
This week, we dive into the pulpy, bruised‑knuckle world of Paul Tremblay’s crime novel turned cinematic fever dream — a film that somehow blends noir grit, slapstick chaos, and the kind of escalating misfortune that makes you want to pat the protagonist on the shoulder and say, “Buddy… maybe just stay home next time.” The guys are so happy to have Jose from Watch Skip Plus to join in on the conversation.
Caught Stealing is directed by Darren Aronofsky and stars Austin Butler, Regina King, Zoe Kravitz, Matt Smith, Liev Schreiber, Vincent D’Onofrio, Benito Martinez Ocasio, Griffin Daune, and Carol Kane

Episode 131 - Morbius
It’s Morbin’ Time!
Welcome back to another exciting episode of Not A Bomb podcast, the show that tackles some of the biggest bombs in cinema history! The crew is still looking at some of the biggest bombs of 2022 and this week they have a movie so nice Sony released it twice - Morbius. This D-List vampire finally grabbed the spotlight in the Marvel Cinematic Universe! The studio also hired a certified Joker and Oscar winner to play this iconic villain turned hero! To help breakdown such a complex and nuanced film (yes, that was sarcasm), Not A Bomb welcomes back Jose from the Watch/Skip+ Podcast and resident comic book expert, Korean Kool…aka Mr. John Nance. The conversation takes a lot of twists and turns including everyone’s thoughts on 2022’s superhero films, Hollywood messaging, Morbius lore, meandering story elements, and immature vampire jokes. This episode as it all, which is why it’s longer than the film itself!
