Episode 35 - Speed Racer
Go Speed Racer, Go Speed Racer, Go! That’s right folks! On this episode of Not A Bomb Podcast, the gang tackles the 2008 sports/action film - Speed Racer. Based on the anime/magna of the same name, Speed Racer is known as one of the biggest movie bombs of all time. To help Troy and Brad discuss such a colossal cinema failure, Sammy, from Gentlemen’s Guide to Midnight Cinema comes to the show.
Speed Racer is brought to the big screen by the visionary directors - The Wachowskis. Following the success of the Matrix trilogy, The Wachowskis took over the troubled production at the request of Warner Brothers Studios and producer Joel Silver. Sadly, the film failed to start and never had a chance at the box office. Critics did nothing to assure anyone other than 12 year old boys that they would enjoy the film and the movie lost close to $100 million. Oh wait, is that Shaft and the dude from Ninja Assassin?!?!?!?!
Speed Racer is directed by The Wachowskis and stars Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, John Goodman, Susan Sarandon, Matthew Fox, Benno Furmann, Hiroyuki Sanada, Rain, and Richard Roundtree.

Episode 34 - Showgirls
For the finale of listener request month, Not A Bomb is joined by the sensational Jose to discuss the 1995 Paul Verhoeven film - Showgirls. Yes, the most famous NC-17 film of all time (so probably best not to listen with the kids around)! Showgirls was both a critical and financial bomb and singlehandedly destroyed the reputation of star Elizabeth Berkley.
Our amazing friend Jose drops some fascinating knowledge about Showgirls, the making of the film, and the people behind the camera. Troy and Brad’s contribution isn’t as informative but they do ask important questions like how does Nomi talk with so much teeth showing all the time. Also, did you know that Robert Davi was in Die Hard?
Be warned - this episode goes some places and is definitely not safe for work - thanks Troy!
Showgirls is directed by Paul Verhoeven and stars Elizabeth Berkley, Kyle MacLachlan, Gina Gershon, Glenn Plummer, Robert Davi, Alan Rachins, and Gina Ravera.

Episode 33 - Serenity (2005)
On this week’s episode of Not A Bomb, TV has invaded the podcast as Troy, Brad, and John tackle 2005’s Serenity. The film acts as the conclusion to the short-lived 2002 Fox television series, Firefly, which was cancelled during its first and only season.
Serenity and Firefly were created by Joss Whedon of Buffy and Angel fame (possibly, two of the greatest shows of all time according to one host). Despite the high anticipation from the Firefly fans, Serenity was not too “shiny” at the box office and performed poorly. The film did, however, garner favorable reviews and still lives on as a cult favorite.
The gang kicks off the show talking about their favorite television shows and then takes a look back at Joss Whedon’s career. They also examine why this beloved movie failed to attract more fans. There is a lot of talk about Serenity’s theme song which might be one of the worst things in music history. Ever. Seriously, it’s that terrible.
Serenity is directed by Joss Whedon and star Nathan Fillion, Alan Tudyk, Adam Baldwin, Summer Glau, Chiwetel Ejofor, Jewel Staite, Sean Maher, and Morena Baccarin.
