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 127 - The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021)
Prestige Month continues on Not A Bomb and this week the gentlemen tackle a little seen biopic from 2021 - The Eyes of Tammy Faye. Audiences were not rushing to the theaters when this film was released, unless it was a Marvel property, and The Eyes of Tammy Faye came and went just like donations to the PTL Club. This episode goes from one extreme to the next, much like the film! Brad and Troy discuss the history of Jim and Tammy Bakker, the dangers of heavy petting at a Christian college, what makes a “Christian” movie…well…”Christian,” and Jessica Chastain’s academy award winning performance. Oh and lots of inappropriate hand stuff. You might want to listen to this episode with headphones if you’re at work!
