Episode 23 - Con Air
Welcome back, Bomb Squad, and get ready to fly the friendly skies of Con Air. In this episode, Troy and Brad take this special opportunity to examine the career of the one and only Nicolas Cage. They then tackle one of Cage’s most financially successful films that also didn’t fair well with the critics, Con Air.
Why does a movie called Con Air spend so much time on the ground? Is Nic Cage for real with that hair? What is going on with that Alabama accent? Why does Troy hate 1996’s The Rock so much? And would a plane crash landing in Las Vegas kill thousands of people? Oh, let’s talk about terminal velocity (not the Charlie Sheen film but the physics concept)!
Con Air is directed by Simon West and stars Nicolas Cage, John Malkovich, John Cusack, Ving Rhames, Colm Meaney, Steve Buscemi, Wykelti Williamson, Dave Chappelle, Danny Trejo, and M.C. Gainey.

Welcome back, Bombers and LETS GET READY TO RUMBLE! For this week’s episode Brad and Troy are joined by fellow podcaster, Alex McAlister, from the Friends with Cinefits podcast to discuss 2000’s comedy/wrestling epic - Ready to Rumble. The boys step into the squared-circle to find out how Brian Robbins’ wrestling opus fairs under the stress of Not A Bomb’s figure four leg lock.
Ready to Rumble draws in many wrestling personalities from the World Championship Wrestling (WCW) promotion and finds man child - Gordie, along with his best friend Sean, on a mission to find Jimmy “The King” and get him back into the ring. Get ready for septic tank jokes, gay panic, David Arquette yelling, and the smallest wrestling crowds ever. Oh…and some epic Michael Bolton jokes….epic!
PS - Brad melts down.

Episode 21 - Miami Connection
Gobble, Gobble Bombers and welcome back to the Not A Bomb Podcast. Turkey month is here!!!! Brad and Troy, friends forever, pack their bags and head to Orlando…er, Miami for 1987’s independent martial arts film – Miami Connection. The podcast rocks out to the iconic Taekwondo band, Dragon Sound, and the guys also discuss this film’s crazy journey to cult status.
Miami Connection is an amazingly, bad film. No, really! The plot falls apart with the ever-so slightest examination and the action choreography…well…I guess we can call it action choreography…is something truly unique. However, the earnest performances, the amazing Mickey Mouse Club music, the ninja biker gangs, a multi-national martial arts rock band, middle aged college students, and karate John Oates, create a film that you must see to believe. You want a movie that is so bad that it’s good???? You’ve come to the right dojo!
Miami Connection is directed by Richard Park and Y.K. Kim, and stars Y.K Kim, Vincent Hirsch, William Ergle, Siyung Jo, Kathie Collier, Joseph Diamond, Maurice Smith, and Angelo Janotti.
Additionally, the guys discuss the following films:
Duel to the Death – 1983
Ninja III: The Domination - 1984
Pray for Death – 1985
Cool as Ice – 1991
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle II: The Secret of the Ooze - 1991
Ninja Scroll – 1993
The VelociPastor - 2018
