Not a Bomb

Episode 271 - The Losers


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!

No Catwoman this week! Despite what was teased last episode, Troy and Brad are not diving into Gotham’s feline femme fatale just yet. That showdown is coming next week. For now, they’re heading into the explosive world of covert ops with a film that flew under the radar: The Losers (2010).

Joining them is none other than Jason “Solarbaby” Patric—a certified member of the Not A Bomb Mount Rushmore—who takes center stage as the villain squaring off against a rogue special ops team. With a cast stacked like a comic-con dream lineup (Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Zoe Saldana, Chris Evans, Idris Elba, and more), The Losers had all the makings of a blockbuster... yet somehow fizzled on arrival.

So the question is: was this just another forgettable action flick, or is it a hidden gem worth rescuing from cinematic obscurity? The guys rewind to 2010 to find out.

The Losers is directed Sylvain White and stars Jeffery Dean Morgan, Zoe Saldana, Chris Evans, Idris Elba, Columbus Short, Oscar Jaenada, and Jason Patric.

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!
