To mark this cinematic milestone, the Not A Bomb crew clearly had to pick something special, right? So naturally, they chose a $120 million fever dream funded by a legendary director’s own checkbook. That’s right — it’s time to witness the glorious fall of New Rome in Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis (2024).

What happens when a filmmaking icon goes full chaos mode? You get a sci-fi “fable” so pretentious, incoherent, and self-indulgent that it makes Battlefield Earth look focused.

Troy and Brad wade through the rubble to see if there's anything worth salvaging. Can they find a silver lining, or is this just a masterclass in how not to spend $120 million?

Tune in to find out — it’s the cinematic trainwreck you can’t look away from.

Not a Bomb would like to take a moment to thank all our listeners over the last five years. This podcast began as a small COVID project and has evolved into something much more. We couldn't have done it without our fantastic community.

Megalopolis is directed by Francis Ford Coppola and stars Adam Drive, Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LeBeouf, Jon Voight, Laurence Fishbourne, Kathryn Hunter, and Dustin Hoffman

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema’s biggest box office failures and decide if they deserve a second chance.

In this week’s episode, the gang sadly bids farewell to Re-May-ke month with an American remake of a beloved Korean classic. Grab your hammer and enjoy some dumplings as Troy and Brad discuss Spike Lee's 2013 film, Oldboy. Remaking Park Chan-wook's masterpiece is a bold move, but with a talented director like Spike Lee at the helm, one would expect this neo-noir to be a success. Unfortunately, critics and audiences largely overlooked its theatrical release, and it only earned $5 million against a $30 million budget. Despite its failure at the box office, does this film deserve a second chance? Download and find out!

Oldboy (2013) is directed Spike Lee and stars Josh Brolin, Elizabeth Olsen, and Sharlto Copley

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema’s biggest box failures and decide if they deserve a second chance.

In this episode, Troy and Brad discuss one of the most underrated science fiction films of the last 30 years—a film that raises the intriguing question: “What if Kurt Russell didn’t have a mullet?” This week, they delve into the 1998 film Soldier, which some consider a potential sidequel to Blade Runner. This film stretches the limits of "face acting"—and maybe even Paul Anderson’s directing chops. Is it worth a second watch? Does Russell manage to leave a mark with just 104 words of dialogue? And will Brad at long last reconcile his oddly specific obsession with child death in cinema? Tune in to find out!

Soldier is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and stars Kurt Russell, Jason Scott Lee, Connie Nielsen, Michael Chiklis, and Gary Busey
