Episode 53 - The 13th Warrior
Hey Bomb Crew, welcome back and welcome to season 2 of the Not a Bomb podcast. On this week’s show, Brad and Troy “Friday Night” Sauer, tackle the forgotten 1999 adventure film - The 13th Warrior. Billed as the film by the writer of Jurassic Park and the director of Die Hard (some might even say The Predator), The 13th Warrior is known as one of the biggest box office bombs of all time and was universally panned by the critics.
The 13th Warrior is a pseudo retelling of the epic poem Beowulf and has Spanish actor Antonio Banderas portraying an Arab Muslim traveler who finds himself thrust into an adventure with Norse Vikings. This is one of the most thinly plotted movies discussed on the podcast and really only acts as an excuse to get into the next action set-piece.
Listen as Troy (who clearly had one too many cocktails at dinner) and Brad talk about some of their favorite adventure films, one of the worst trailers of all time, and the concept of the conduit character.
The 13th Warrior is directed by John McTiernan and stars Antonio Banderas, Diane Venora, and Omar Sharif.

Episode 52 - Ghostbusters 2
Hello Bombers! It’s time to celebrate the one year anniversary of the Not A Bomb podcast. This week, Brad and Troy discuss Ghostbusters 2, which was actually the catalyst for the podcast. Released five years after the original, Ghostbuster 2 brings back all of our beloved characters while introducing quirky, new ones (we’re looking at you, Dr. Janosz Poha). Our heroes battle rivers of slime, New York bureaucracy, diapers, and the villainous Vigo the Carpathian.
Failing to out gross the original film, Ghostbuster 2 was panned by critics who felt the film too closely resembled the plot of the first movie and the characters lacked any charm or wit. Brad and Troy use the two hour podcast runtime to debunk the haters and prove, once and for all, that Ghostbusters 2 is one of the best sequels in the industry!
Special shoutout to all of the listeners who have made the first year of this podcast so special. Additionally, Brad and Toy would like to thank all of our guests for taking time to appear on our show and share their love for movies that bombed at the box office!
Ghostbusters 2 is directed by Ivan Reitman and stars Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Sigourney Weaver, Harold Ramis, Rick Moranis, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts, and Peter MacNicol.

Episode 51 - Brazil
Welcome to the Ministry of information Podcast. Please complete all appropriate paperwork, including form B37-42 subsection C, and listen to the latest episode of Not A Bomb. On this vey bureaucratic episode, the guys discuss 1985’s science fiction/dystopian film - Brazil. Directed by Monty Python troupe member, Terry Gilliam, Brazil is known as one of the most visually stunning films of all time with an especially “dark” ending. While the film had no problem being released internationally, Universal studios had an issue with the length of the film as well as the depressing ending. The story of what transpired behind the scenes is almost as fascinating as what showed up on the big screen!
Brazil is a satirical take on corporate work life, which seems to be too close to home for both Troy and Brad. Additionally, Brazil sparks comparisons to Southland Tales which leads Brad to say a few nice words about the Richard Kelly opus.
Brazil is directed by Terry Gilliam and stars Jonathan Pryce, Robert De Niro, Katherine Helmond, Ian Holm, Bob Hoskins, Michael Palin, Ian Richardson, Peter Vaughan, and Kim Greist.
