Episode 269 - Super
Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema’s biggest box office failures and decide whether they deserve a second chance. We are celebrating five years of discussing cinematic flops!
On this week’s episode of Not A Bomb, Troy and Brad are happy to welcome back to the show Sammy from the GGTMC to talk about Super, a dark and twisted comic book film, written and directed by James Gunn. Violent, dirty, and heartwarming(?), Super shows the dark side of vigilantism and might be difficult to stomach if you are not prepared. Get ready for needle drops, wrenches to the head, and waiting behind dumpsters.
Super is directed by James Gunn and stars Rainn Wilson, Elliott Page, Liv Taylor, Kevin Bacon, Nathan Fillon, Gregg Henry, Michael Rooker, Andre Royo, Sean Gunn, Stephen Blackehart, and Linda Cardellini.

Episode 266 - Weird: The Al Yankovic Story
Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema’s biggest box office failures and decide whether they deserve a second chance. We are celebrating five years of discussing cinematic flops!
Did you know the Roku Channel existed? (No, seriously, it’s not just a screensaver for your TV!) Did you know they make original content? Did you know they handed over $8 million of actual, spendable money to fund a satirical biopic? Well, bust out your Hawaiian shirts and accordions, because all of that is true — and the result was Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. It’s a wonderfully unhinged parody of the life of “Weird” Al, brimming with the kind of silly-yet-sincere sweetness only a man who made “Eat It,” “Like a Surgeon,” and “Amish Paradise” could deliver. This movie is criminally underseen (like, “should be serving a life sentence” underseen), and Troy and Brad spend this episode doing what any good friends would do — aggressively bragging at their listeners until they finally go watch it.
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is directed by Eric Appel and stars Daniel Radcliffe, Evan Rachel Wood, Rainn Wilson, Toby Huss, and Julianne Nicholson
