Episode 205 - Total Recall (2012)

Welcome to your favorite movie podcast, Not a Bomb! We take a second look at some of the biggest box office bombs in cinema history to see if they truly deserve their infamous reputations.

Our podcast is launching into outer space this "Re-MAY-ke" month as we explore the sci-fi adventure of 2012's Total Recall. Reimagining the beloved Paul Verhoeven classic was quite the challenge, considering its iconic status in the sci-fi/action realm. The 2012 adaptation replaces certain sci-fi aspects of the original with heightened action scenes, featuring more leaps, gunplay, and chases. Additionally, this version includes what could arguably be one of the most contentious performances ever dissected on our show. Intrigued to learn more? Tune in to discover who we're talking about!

And don't forget, "Get your ass to the podcast!"

Total Recall (2012) is helmed by director Len Wiseman and features a cast including Colin Farrell, Kate Beckinsale, Jessica Biel, Bryan Cranston, John Cho, and Bill Nighy.

Episode 204 - Psycho (1998)

Welcome to your favorite movie podcast, Not a Bomb!! This is the podcast where we revisit some of the biggest box office failures in cinema history and explore whether they deserve a second chance.

‘Re-MAY-ke” month is upon us! That’s right! For the whole month of May, we are re-examining some of the biggest remake bombs in cinema history. We kick off the month with "Emcee" (Alex) and "Cupcake" (Jose) from Watch/Skip+ and discuss 1998’s remake of the Alferd Hitchcock classic - Psycho. Known as a shot-for-shot remake, the 1998 film brings all the color, violence, and maybe an orifice (just listen) to the updated version. The film failed to recoup its massive budget but, surprisingly, wasn’t hated by everyone. However, the most important questions is whether we considered it a bomb! For that, you need to listen!

Psycho (1998) is directed by Gus Van Sant and stars Vince Vaughn, Julianne Moore, Viggo Mortensen, William H. Macy, and Anne Heche

Make sure to check out Jose and Alex on Watch/Skip+ and drop them a review!
