Listen here, all you man-animals! They only way to gain leverage over everyone you know is checking out the latest episode of Not A Bomb. This is the podcast where we go back and reexamine some of the biggest bombs in cinematic history. And, oh boy, are we tackling one of the biggest science fiction bombs of all time - Battlefield Earth. Based on the science fiction novel of the same name, Battlefield Earth was the passion project of star John Travolta and was even dubbed “Pulp Fiction in space”. To assist in this colossal bomb, the guys once again welcome back Jose from the Watch/Skip+ podcast. Is Battlefield Earth a film that is so bad its good? Is this film really just “dutch angle” the movie? How many Kerbangos did Brad have to drink in order to get through this week’s film? Listen as we venture through the Saga of the Year 3000.
