Episode 277 - Jennifer’s Body
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.
Spooky season is officially in session, so grab your favorite candy (unless it’s candy corn—because let’s be honest, that’s just wax with a marketing team) and join Troy and Brad as they summon the spirit of Jennifer’s Body, a film so misunderstood it ghosted its own audience.
This week, the guys are raising the dead—and the discourse—with none other than Jose from Watch Skip Plus, who’s back to inject some serious insight and maybe a little holy water into the mix. You know he brings a unique perspective to any film discussion, especially one where the lead character eats boys and still manages to look flawless doing it.
So light your jack-o’-lantern, lock your doors, and prepare for a conversation that’s hotter than Needy’s eyeliner and deeper than the demonic sacrifice that started it all. It’s horror, it’s humor, it’s high school trauma—and it’s all happening now.
Jennifer’s Body is directed Karyn Kusama and stars Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, Johnny Simmons, J.K. Simmons, Amy Sedaris, and Adam Brody.

Episode 191 - Jupiter Ascending
Welcome back to your favorite podcast about some of the biggest bombs in cinematic history. On this week’s episode, we once again find ourselves in sci-fi town with the 2015 space opera film Jupiter Ascending. Boasting a budget north of $200M, Jupiter Ascending left general audiences bewildered by the lack of character development, terrible script, nonexistent performances, dodgy CGI, and whatever Eddie Redmayne was doing on screen. This film is a misfire on all aspects. One starts to wonder just how it all went wrong and how The Wachowskis could go from The Matrix to a dog-man “surfing” with gravity boots. Woof!
Jupiter Ascending is directed by The Wachowskis and stars Channing Tatum, Mila Kunis, Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, and Douglas Booth.
