Episode 268 - Captain America (1990)
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!
Before the MCU assembled its mighty empire… before Chris Evans’ chiseled jawline became America’s favorite shield… there was Menahem Golan.
From the minds that brought you some of cinema’s most glorious disasters comes what many call the worst superhero movie ever forged in celluloid—Albert Pyun’s 1990 Captain America! The Not A Bomb boys are suiting up and once again teaming with Pyun to deep-dive into the red, white, and… “what were they thinking?”
This Cap didn’t soar into box offices—he barely thawed out long enough to see a theatrical release in the Philippines! And yet, through the decades, this star-spangled oddity has built a cult following worthy of Hydra’s secrecy.
So… have Brad and Troy sworn allegiance to this cinematic super-soldier, or will they hurl the shield straight into the trash heap of history? Grab your headphones, true believers—there’s only one way to find out!

NAB Presents: The Classics - Deliverance
Welcome to Not A Bomb Presents The Classics, a series where Jose and Sammy join Troy and Brad to discuss some of the greatest films ever. In the second edition, the gang travels down the river and uses their pretty mouths to talk about 1972’s Deliverance. Consider one of the great American films of all time; Deliverance brought the world dueling banjos and squealing like a pig and hunk Burt Reynolds. However, it also brought one of the more thought-provoking, transgressive thrillers of all time. How well does this 1972 classic hold up? Listen and find out!
We hope you join us on this upcoming journey as Not A Bomb takes on The Classics!
