Not a Bomb

Episode 268 - Captain America (1990)


Listen Later

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!

Before the MCU assembled its mighty empire… before Chris Evans’ chiseled jawline became America’s favorite shield… there was Menahem Golan.

From the minds that brought you some of cinema’s most glorious disasters comes what many call the worst superhero movie ever forged in celluloid—Albert Pyun’s 1990 Captain America! The Not A Bomb boys are suiting up and once again teaming with Pyun to deep-dive into the red, white, and… “what were they thinking?”

This Cap didn’t soar into box offices—he barely thawed out long enough to see a theatrical release in the Philippines! And yet, through the decades, this star-spangled oddity has built a cult following worthy of Hydra’s secrecy.

So… have Brad and Troy sworn allegiance to this cinematic super-soldier, or will they hurl the shield straight into the trash heap of history? Grab your headphones, true believers—there’s only one way to find out!

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. If you would like to submit your own list, please use this form to enter your 25 choices.

For a film to be eligible, it must have been released between January 1, 2020, and December 31, 2025. Those are the only rules. Thank you for being a part of the community! Stay tuned for a special episode revealing the results in December. Head over to Not A Bomb 25 in 25 to fill out the form!
