Not a Bomb

Not A Bomb Podcast explores the cinematic failures of the box office as well as movies that critics, universally, didn‘t love.

From misunderstood classics like Heaven’s Gate to cheesy flicks like Samurai Cop, you’ll find a wide variety of films that get a little extra attention and a possible second chance at success.
