On this week’s episode of Not A Bomb, Troy and Brad are happy to welcome back to the show Sammy from the GGTMC to talk about Super, a dark and twisted comic book film, written and directed by James Gunn.

Super is directed by James Gunn and stars Rainn Wilson, Elliott Page, Liv Taylor, Kevin Bacon, Nathan Fillon, Gregg Henry, Michael Rooker, Andre Royo, Sean Gunn, Stephen Blackehart, and Linda Cardellini.

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!

This week the guys grab their mop buckets and turn the dial to weird as they dive into UHF—the only film brave enough to give us Conan the Librarian, Gandhi II, and a guy who teaches poodles to fly (sort of). Is UHF a lost comedy gem or just a Twinkie-wiener sandwich of a movie? Tune in and find out—supplies are limited, so act now!

UHF is directed by Jay Levey and stars Weird Al Yankovic, Kevin McCarthy, Fran Drescher, Michael Richards, David Bowe, and Victoria Jackson.

Did you know the Roku Channel existed? (No, seriously, it’s not just a screensaver for your TV!) Did you know they make original content? Did you know they handed over $8 million of actual, spendable money to fund a satirical biopic? Well, bust out your Hawaiian shirts and accordions, because all of that is true — and the result was Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. It’s a wonderfully unhinged parody of the life of “Weird” Al, brimming with the kind of silly-yet-sincere sweetness only a man who made “Eat It,” “Like a Surgeon,” and “Amish Paradise” could deliver. This movie is criminally underseen (like, “should be serving a life sentence” underseen), and Troy and Brad spend this episode doing what any good friends would do — aggressively bragging at their listeners until they finally go watch it.

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is directed by Eric Appel and stars Daniel Radcliffe, Evan Rachel Wood, Rainn Wilson, Toby Huss, and Julianne Nicholson

Comic Book Month kicks off with a bang as Not A Bomb tackles a legendary title once deemed “unfilmable.” So, who did Hollywood call? Zack Snyder, of course…

Join the crew as they time-jump back to 1985 and dive into the Ultimate Cut of Watchmen (2009)—a bold adaptation of one of the greatest graphic novels ever written. While the theatrical release struggled to connect with mainstream audiences, does the Ultimate Cut finally deliver the definitive version fans were hoping for?

Helping unpack this dense and divisive film is long-time listener and first-time guest Alex, who brings fresh insight to the conversation. The episode also explores Warner Bros. Animation’s 2024 Watchmen: Chapter I & II releases and how they stack up against Snyder’s vision.

Who watches the Watchmen? Not A Bomb does—and now you can too.

Watchmen is directed by Zach Snyder and stars Malin Akerman, Billy Crudup, Matthew Goode, Carla Gugino, Jackie Earle Haley, Jeffery Dean Morgan, and Patrick Wilson

Behold! In the age of steel and shadow, the warriors of Not a Bomb gather 'round the blazing fire to speak of a long-forgotten legend—Red Sonja, the first of Marvel’s sagas to stride onto the silver screen. With flame-haired fury, she is portrayed by the statuesque shield-maiden Brigitte Nielsen. Beside her, the mighty Arnold of the House Schwarzenegger appears—not as Conan the Cimmerian, but as some other sword-swinging warlord, lost to the winds of poor writing.

Lo! The tale sought to ride the wave of the Hyborian Age, yet it faltered like a drunk on a dragon’s back. Scorned by the masses and mocked by the scribes, Red Sonja was cast into the abyss of forgotten films.

But fear not, wanderers of cult cinema! For this day, a champion rises! Kevin, blood-brother to the podcast, joins the fray—his insight as sharp as Valeria’s blade—as the trio cleaves through the chaos of camp and carnage.

Is Red Sonja worthy of your precious hours? Or should it be banished to the lands of bad movie exile? Only one way to know—summon the episode and listen, if ye dare!

This week, Troy and Brad rocket back into the Superman universe—only this time, it’s his super-powered cousin stepping into the spotlight. That’s right, we’re soaring into 1984’s Supergirl!

Armed with an all-star cast and the legacy of Krypton’s favorite son, Supergirl set out to capture the magic of Superman... and crash-landed in the Phantom Zone of bad ideas. Incoherent plot? Faye Dunaway as a power-hungry sorceress? Weird romantic subplots no one asked for? Faster than a flying Omegahedron and stranger than a witch in an amusement park—this movie has it all.

Tune in as the guys uncover if Supergirl is a misunderstood gem or a cinematic kryptonite bombshell. Either way, the truth will shock you!

Supergirl is directed Jeannot Szwarc and stars by Faye Dunaway, Helen Slater, Hart Bochner, Peter Cook, Mia Farrow, Marc McClure, Maureen Teefy, Brenda Vaccaro, Simon Ward, and Peter O’Toole

For June, the hosts have decided to don their capes and dive into the world of comic book superhero films. To kick off the month, we will be discussing the 2020 film Bloodshot. Released during the COVID-19 pandemic, Vin Diesel’s superhero film aimed to establish the Valiant Comics Cinematic Universe. Unfortunately, it failed to resonate with audiences, and we may never see that vision come to life. Should you give this film another chance? Tune in to find out!

Additionally, the hosts will share their favorite current comic book runs and discuss what they are currently reading.

Bloodshot is directed by David S.F. Wilson and stars Vin Diesel, Eiza Gonzalez, Sam Heughan, Toby Kebbell, Talulah Riley, Lamorne Morris, and Guy Pearce.
