Episode 262 - Red Sonja
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!
Behold! In the age of steel and shadow, the warriors of Not a Bomb gather 'round the blazing fire to speak of a long-forgotten legend—Red Sonja, the first of Marvel’s sagas to stride onto the silver screen. With flame-haired fury, she is portrayed by the statuesque shield-maiden Brigitte Nielsen. Beside her, the mighty Arnold of the House Schwarzenegger appears—not as Conan the Cimmerian, but as some other sword-swinging warlord, lost to the winds of poor writing.
Lo! The tale sought to ride the wave of the Hyborian Age, yet it faltered like a drunk on a dragon’s back. Scorned by the masses and mocked by the scribes, Red Sonja was cast into the abyss of forgotten films.
But fear not, wanderers of cult cinema! For this day, a champion rises! Kevin, blood-brother to the podcast, joins the fray—his insight as sharp as Valeria’s blade—as the trio cleaves through the chaos of camp and carnage.
Is Red Sonja worthy of your precious hours? Or should it be banished to the lands of bad movie exile? Only one way to know—summon the episode and listen, if ye dare!
Not A Bomb has plenty of news designs in our Merch store! Head over to the Not A Bomb Tee Public store and check them out. Special thanks to Ted Blair for the amazing designs!
We're committed to hearing your feedback and suggestions. If there's a cinematic flop you'd like us to delve into, please reach out to us at NotABombPod@gmail.com or through our contact page. Your reviews and feedback are what drive us. If you enjoy our content, consider leaving a review on Apple Podcast or Spotify.

Episode 260 - Bloodshot
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!
For June, the hosts have decided to don their capes and dive into the world of comic book superhero films. To kick off the month, we will be discussing the 2020 film Bloodshot. Released during the COVID-19 pandemic, Vin Diesel’s superhero film aimed to establish the Valiant Comics Cinematic Universe. Unfortunately, it failed to resonate with audiences, and we may never see that vision come to life. Should you give this film another chance? Tune in to find out!
Additionally, the hosts will share their favorite current comic book runs and discuss what they are currently reading.
Bloodshot is directed by David S.F. Wilson and stars Vin Diesel, Eiza Gonzalez, Sam Heughan, Toby Kebbell, Talulah Riley, Lamorne Morris, and Guy Pearce.

Episode 259 - Megalopolis (5 Year Anniversary show)
To mark this cinematic milestone, the Not A Bomb crew clearly had to pick something special, right? So naturally, they chose a $120 million fever dream funded by a legendary director’s own checkbook. That’s right — it’s time to witness the glorious fall of New Rome in Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis (2024).
What happens when a filmmaking icon goes full chaos mode? You get a sci-fi “fable” so pretentious, incoherent, and self-indulgent that it makes Battlefield Earth look focused.
Troy and Brad wade through the rubble to see if there's anything worth salvaging. Can they find a silver lining, or is this just a masterclass in how not to spend $120 million?
Tune in to find out — it’s the cinematic trainwreck you can’t look away from.
Not a Bomb would like to take a moment to thank all our listeners over the last five years. This podcast began as a small COVID project and has evolved into something much more. We couldn't have done it without our fantastic community.
Megalopolis is directed by Francis Ford Coppola and stars Adam Drive, Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LeBeouf, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishbourne, Kathryn Hunter, and Dustin Hoffman
