Episode 201 - Monkey Shines
Welcome to your favorite movie podcast, Not a Bomb!! This is the podcast where we revisit some of the biggest box office failures in cinema history and explore whether they deserve a second chance.
After delving into deep discussions on “mother!” and “Blade Runner”, we decided to take a whimsical turn with a new theme month - Ape-Ril. That's right, in the coming weeks, it's all about monkey business at Not A Bomb. This week, our focus is on the 1988 horror film (?) - “Monkey Shines.” Directed by horror trailblazer George A. Romero, “Monkey Shines” tells the story of a person with quadriplegia who develops an unexpected relationship with a monkey… or rather, a small ape. Throughout its two-hour runtime, Monkey Shines goes to great lengths not to frighten the audience. However, the plot will leave you pondering how frozen brain tissue and Gatorade can forge a telekinetic bond between a small ape and a quadriplegic. Oh, and we dive into one of the most peculiar sex scenes in film history. You simply have to listen to hear all about it.
Monkey Shines is directed by George A. Romero and stars Jason Beghe, John Pankow, Kate McNeil, and Joyce Van Patten.

Episode 200 - Blade Runner & Blade Runner 2049
Welcome to your favorite movie podcast, Not a Bomb!! This is the podcast where we revisit some of the biggest box office failures in cinema history and explore whether they deserve a second chance.
We are incredibly grateful for all the support we've received over the last 200 episodes and we look forward to many more. For this special occasion, we decided to discuss the seminal science fiction film, Blade Runner. Despite its status as a thought-provoking and visually stunning work of art, the initial release of the film was a commercial flop.
We also talk about the 2017 sequel, Blade Runner 2049, which strikes a perfect balance between building on the legacy of the original and standing on its own as a great film. Unfortunately, the sequel also bombed and failed to make a profit for the studios.
To delve into these two iconic science-fiction works, we welcomed a special guest, Cam, offering a Gen Z perspective. This episode wouldn't have been the same without Cam, and we're excited to have him share his insights on this captivating futuristic saga.
Blade Runner is directed by Ridley Scott and stars Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, Sean Young, Edward James Olmos, M. Emmet Walsh, Daryl Hannah, William Sanderson, Brion James and Joe Turkel.
Blader Runner 2049 is directed by Denis Villeneuve and stars Ryan Gosling, Harrison Ford, Ana de Armas, Sylvia Hoeks, Robin Wright, Mackenzie Davis, Caral Juri, Lennie James, Dave Bautista and Jared Leto
