Episode 117 - Congo
It has been argued that there is no such thing as a “perfect” film. On this week’s episode of Not A Bomb, we put that theory to the test as Troy and Brad discuss 1995’s talking gorilla film - Congo. The guys cannot tackle such a film as Congo without help, so they welcome Charlie back to the show but also The Twisted Kid Matt - host of The Mix Tape Podcast makes his Not A Bomb debut. The podcast quickly devolves into juvenile human/gorilla relationship jokes, turning Dylan Walsh into a human punching bag, and praising what should have been Delroy Lindo’s Academy Award Winning performance. *** Just a warning, this episode is NSFW so DO NOT listen in your car with your kids! Seriously! You might have to explain some very politically incorrect jokes. You’ve been warned!
