Episode 82 - Raging Fire
Happy New Year, and welcome back to another face kicking episode of Not A Bomb. Using the “Donnie Yen” clause in the podcast bylaws, the boys are starting the new year talking about 2021’s Hong Kong police/action film - Raging Fire. This is Benny Chan’s final directorial film before his passing in 2020 and feels like a throwback to classic Hong Kong cinema of the 80’s and 90’s. Raging Fire is the story of a righteous cop who must cross paths with his former protégé. Both Troy and Brad think this is one of the best action films from last year, if not the last 5 years, and recommend you seek it out immediately.
To kick off the podcast, the guys talk about their holiday break and some of the films they watched. Additionally, Troy explains the reason why there are seven production companies on this film and the difficulties working within the Chinese government. Oh, and obviously, the boys guy-crush over Donnie Yen for a solid hour.
Raging Fire is directed by Benny Chan and stars Donnie Yen, Nicholas Tse, and Qin Lan.

Episode 81 - MacGruber
Welcome back to Not A Bomb podcast! On this week’s episode, Troy and Brad finish the year with a review of 2010’s comedy/action/parody film - MacGruber. Born out of an SNL skit, MacGruber was a critical and financial bomb but has garnered a cult following since its release over ten years ago. The character was even given a second chance this year with a branch new television series.
Grab your dental floss, tennis ball, thimble, and stalk of celery for this unpredictable discussion. Troy and Brad debate which actor is best at dropping “F” bombs, the subtle art of deadpan comedy, the protected “art” of parody, and whether they should go back and watch the 80’s action classic Extreme Measures. The guys also give listeners a little preview of what’s coming in 2022!
MacGruber is directed by Jorma Taccone and stars Will Forte, Kristen Wiig, Ryan Phillippe, Val Kilmer, Maya Rudolph, and Powers Boothe.

Episode 80 - Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping
Incredible Thoughts,
Incredible minds, I’m so overwhelmed
How did my brain conceive them?
Welcome back to another incredible…sorry….we mean dope episode of Not A Bomb! This week, the guys get funky fresh with the Style Boyzs and 2016’s mockumentary - Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping. Written, directed, and produced by the guys of Lonely Island, Popstar attempts to satirize pop music and pop culture. To ensure Troy and Brad get all the pop culture references, they bring in friend of the show, Jose! Bonus - Jose gives us the latest news on One Direction and Taylor Swift (she wasn’t really arrested for murder)!
Listen as Troy says rapper artist’s names out loud (poorly) as well as his take on LFO and the hit song “Summer Girls.” The guys also try and figure out who was brave enough to show their “junk” on the big screen and debate what is the best mockumentary of all time?
Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping is directed Akiva Schaffer and stars Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, Akiva Schaffer, Sarah Silverman, Maya Rudolph, Tim Meadows, and Joan Cusack.
