Episode 127 - The Eyes of Tammy Faye (2021)
Prestige Month continues on Not A Bomb and this week the gentlemen tackle a little seen biopic from 2021 - The Eyes of Tammy Faye. Audiences were not rushing to the theaters when this film was released, unless it was a Marvel property, and The Eyes of Tammy Faye came and went just like donations to the PTL Club. This episode goes from one extreme to the next, much like the film! Brad and Troy discuss the history of Jim and Tammy Bakker, the dangers of heavy petting at a Christian college, what makes a “Christian” movie…well…”Christian,” and Jessica Chastain’s academy award winning performance. Oh and lots of inappropriate hand stuff. You might want to listen to this episode with headphones if you’re at work!

Episode 126 - Hugo
Welcome back to Not A Bomb Podcast, the show where we go back and reexamine some of the biggest bombs in cinematic history. The theme for this month is all about prestige films, movies that bombed at the box office but also won multiple academy awards. We kick things off with a discussion of a high profile family, adventure film from 2011 - Hugo. This gives Troy and Brad a reason to talk about one of the greatest directors of all time - Martin Scorsese. Hugo was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and took home five wins, but it wasn’t enough to save it from losing more than $100 million during its box office run. As a bonus, Troy and Brad share their top three Scorsese films and talk about the relevancy of the academy award ceremony.
