Episode 173 - The Girl with All the Gifts
Spooky season is officially upon us, and Not A Bomb is ready to hand out all the treats! This year, our listeners picked out the movies for Spooktober! We are kicking this terrifying month off with 2016’s post-apocalyptic sci/fi horror film - The Girl with All the Gifts. Based on the book of the same name, The Girl with All the Gifts depicts the breakdown of society after a fungal outbreak. Does this sound a lot like a popular Sony video game that turned into a critically acclaimed show? The two share a lot of similarities! Sporting a very strong cast and a unique spin on the zombie genre, The Girl with All the Gifts was not released in the United States but did receive a lot of critical acclaim in the UK. Does this film have what it takes to stand out in the zombie crowd? Should it have played in American theaters? Are fungal zombies scarier than the classic George Romero zombies? Listen and find out!
The Girl with All the Gifts is directed by Colm McCarthy and stars Gemma Arterton, Paddy Considine, Glenn Close, and Sennia Nanua.
Shoutout to listener Tom H for the great recommendation!

NAB Presents: Breaking Brad - Experiment 9: Labor Pains
Welcome back to Not A Bomb Presents: Breaking Brad. The premise is simple. Troy, Sammy from GGTMC, and Jose from Watch/Skip+ pick some of the worst films imaginable to see if they can break Brad. In this episode, the gang “delivers” a discussion on 2009’s Labor Pains. Starring the infamous Lindsay Lohan, Labor Pains finds Lindsay faking a pregnancy to keep her job. Yep, that’s the premise. The 94-minute runtime is plagued with unfunny jokes, a bratty little sister, Chris Parnell belittling himself, lame dog jokes, smoking in the girls room, and some of the worst music ever created. This may be the film that ends these little experiements!
