Episode 59 - Supernova (2000)
Welp, we did it! On this week’s episode of Not a Bomb, the gang hits rock bottom. The podcast finds itself, yet again, lost in space. This week, a group of people go looking for some mystery person or thing in space when something scary happens. Sound familiar? The difference this time is that the movie completely sucks and is totally not scary. The film destroying Brad and Troy’s will to live this week is 2000’s sci-fi adventure(?) - Supernova.
This film has all the ingredients of of a bomb. We’ve got multiple directors, studio executive changes, slashed budgets, unfinished scripts, digital “blackface”, years of editing, and sleepwalking actors. All this results in the worst film that Not a Bomb has ever discussed… and we’ve reviewed Solarbabies! The guys examine the history of the Alan Smithee pseudonym and why Walter Hill is credited as Thomas Lee. More importantly, this move is a bomb and you should never watch it! Never ever watch it. We extend our apologies to anybody who was playing along and watched this piece of junk. We are really really really sorry!
Supernova is directed by Walter Hill and stars James Spader, Angela Bassett, Robert Foster, Lou Diamond Phillips, Peter Facinelli, Robin Tunney, and Wilson Cruz.
