  Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema’s biggest box office failures and decide whether they deserve a second chance. We are celebrating five years of discussing cinematic flops.Spooky season is officially in session, so grab your favorite candy (unless it’s candy corn—because let’s be honest, that’s just wax with a marketing team) and join Troy and Brad as they summon the spirit of Jennifer’s Body, a film so misunderstood it ghosted its own audience.This week, the guys are raising the dead—and the discourse—with none other than Jose from Watch Skip Plus, who’s back to inject some serious insight and maybe a little holy water into the mix. You know he brings a unique perspective to any film discussion, especially one where the lead character eats boys and still manages to look flawless doing it.So light your jack-o’-lantern, lock your doors, and prepare for a conversation that’s hotter than Needy’s eyeliner and deeper than the demonic sacrifice that started it all. It’s horror, it’s humor, it’s high school trauma—and it’s all happening now.Jennifer’s Body is directed Karyn Kusama and stars Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, Johnny Simmons, J.K. Simmons, Amy Sedaris, and Adam Brody.To celebrate the last 25 years of film, the Not A Bomb podcast is compiling a Top 25 list from the Not A Bomb community.

• Episode 275 - The Rules of Attraction

  Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema’s biggest box office failures and decide whether they deserve a second chance. We are celebrating five years of discussing cinematic flops!Episode 275 of Not A Bomb continues Listener Request Month with Troy and Brad diving headfirst into the chaotic, nihilistic world of Roger Avary’s 2002 dark comedy The Rules of Attraction. Adapted from Bret Easton Ellis’s novel, the film follows three emotionally fractured college students—Sean Bateman (yes, Patrick Bateman’s younger brother), Lauren Hynde, and Paul Denton—as they spiral through drugs, sex, and existential dread at the fictional Camden College.While the marketing teased a cheeky American Pie-style romp, the film delivers something far darker: a transgressive, nonlinear fever dream built on split screens, rewound timelines, and surreal montages that mirror its characters’ moral decay. Critics weren’t laughing—many recoiled at its unflinching depictions of suicide, sexual assault, and emotional numbness—but Troy and Brad dig in, unpacking both the film’s stylistic bravado and its brutal honesty about youth culture.⚠️ Trigger warning: This episode contains discussion of heavy drug use, sexual violence, and suicide, mirroring the film’s unflinching content.The Rules of Attraction is directed by Roger Avary and stars James Van Der Beek, Shannyn Sossamon, Kip Purdue, Jessica Biel, Ian Somerhalder, Clifton Collins, Jr., Thomas Ian Nicholas, Swoosie Kurtz, and Kaye DunawayTo celebrate the last 25 years of film, the Not A Bomb podcast is compiling a Top 25 list from the Not A Bomb community.

We are celebrating five years of discussing cinematic flops!Episode 274 of Not a Bomb podcast celebrates The Magnificent Seven (1960), a film that dared to reimagine Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai through the lens of the American frontier. John Sturges didn’t just swap swords for six-shooters—he preserved the soul of the original while crafting a Western that would eventually earn its place among the genre’s greats.Despite its lukewarm reception in the U.S. at first, the film found its footing overseas, especially in Europe, where audiences embraced its rugged charm and ensemble cast. And yes, Charles Bronson’s magnetic screen presence gets plenty of love from the hosts—alongside reflections on the film’s legacy, themes of honor and sacrifice, and its influence on future Westerns. That’s a stellar pick from Wesley—and a bold cinematic journey for Troy and Brad to dive into! The Magnificent Seven is directed by John Sturges and stars Yul Brynner, Eli Wallach, Steven McQueen, Charles Bronson, Robert Vaughn, James Coburn, and Horst Buchholz.To celebrate the last 25 years of film, the Not A Bomb podcast is compiling a Top 25 list from the Not A Bomb community.
