Episode 255 - Rollerball (2002)
Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we dive into some of cinema's biggest box office failures and explore whether they deserve a second chance.
““Re-May-ke” month returns as Not A Bomb welcomes the “Breaking Brad” crew with special guests - Sammy from the GGTMC and Jose from Watch Skip Plus as they discuss one of the worst films to (Jon-a-ton) Cross this podcast with the 2002 remake - Rollerball. This one might’ve broken the hosts completely—everyone’s just shaking their heads as the legendary McT somehow turns a beloved 1975 classic into a full-blown night vision nightmare. And fair warning: if you're one of the five remaining Chris Klein superfans out there, you may want to sit this one out. The poor guy catches more strays than a background extra in a John Wick movie. So buckle up, blast some Slipknot, and dive into the chaos.
Rollerball (2002) is directed by John McTiernan and stars Chris Klein, Jean Reno, LL Cool J, Rebecca Romijn, Naveen Andrews, and Pink.

Episode 156 - Grindhouse (3 Year Anniversary Show)
On this very special episode of Not A Bomb, the gang celebrates their three-year anniversary with a show dedicated to all thing’s grindhouse cinema. To cap it off, the guys dive deep into 2007’s epic theatrical bomb - Grindhouse. We couldn’t celebrate this anniversary without some help. So, we asked Sammy, “The Godfather of Grindhouse,” to join us and puts his knowledge on display.
Released as an over three-hour experience, Grindhouse featured two full length films - Planet Terror and Death Proof from Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. Also, various other directors contributed fake movie trailers to capture the traditional grindhouse theatrical experience. Sadly, this unique film experience flopped at the box office and prevented audiences from getting another experiment like Grindhouse for a long time.
Before the timestamps, we have one last note. We at Not A Bomb thank you for your support over the past three years! This community is fantastic and we look forward to exploring more epic movie bombs with all of you.
