Happy Halloween, everybody! On this spooky edition of Not A Bomb, the “Breaking Brad” crew discusses the sequel to one of the greatest horror films of all time, Fright Night Part 2. Picking up 3 years after the events of the first film, Fright Night Part 2 finds Charley Brewster and vampire hunter Peter Vincent battling a brand new cadre of sexy vampires. Fright Night Part 2 was given less of a budget than the original film and struggled to get theatrical distribution. The critics were also harsh on the sequel and the vampire flick didn’t really find an audience until it was released on VHS. Oh…and a highly publicized murder of a studio executive might have played a part in this films rough distribution cycle. Yeah, this movie had some dark things happening behind the scenes. Does Fright Night Part 2 live up to the original or has this horror franchise lost its bite? Spoiler alert: someone called this thing a bomb! You won’t be able to guess who!

Fright Night: Part 2 is directed by Tommy Lee Wallace and stars Roddy McDowall, WIlliam Ragsdale, Traci Lind, and Julie Carmen. Be sure to subscribe to the Gentlemen’s Guide to Midnite Cinema to hear more of Sammy. Also, check out Jose’s podcast - Watch/Skip+. Both are highly recommended.

Spooky season rolls on as the gang welcomes back friend of the show Sammy from the GGTMC to chat about 1986’s sci-fi/horror/comedy - Night of the Creeps. A “B-Movie” through and through, Night of the Creeps begins with weird alien puppets and, somehow, ends up in the 1980s. The guys use the film as a jumping-off point to analyze the works of Fred Dekker, discuss which decade of horror is the best, douche-bag characters named Brad, and Martin Scorsese. Yeah, the episode goes places.

Night of the Creeps is directed by Fred Dekker and stars Jason Lively, Tom Atkins, Steve Marshall, and Jill Whitlow.

This movie has earned a devoted following since its original release and has secured its spot on numerous "best of" lists in the horror community. During this episode, we delve into the film's psychological horror elements, society's relentless pursuit of perfection, the nuances of awkward romances, Frosty the Snowman, modern kinks, and so much more!

Spooky season is officially upon us, and Not A Bomb is ready to hand out all the treats! This year, our listeners picked out the movies for Spooktober! We are kicking this terrifying month off with 2016’s post-apocalyptic sci/fi horror film - The Girl with All the Gifts. Based on the book of the same name, The Girl with All the Gifts depicts the breakdown of society after a fungal outbreak. Does this sound a lot like a popular Sony video game that turned into a critically acclaimed show? The two share a lot of similarities! Sporting a very strong cast and a unique spin on the zombie genre, The Girl with All the Gifts was not released in the United States but did receive a lot of critical acclaim in the UK. Does this film have what it takes to stand out in the zombie crowd? Should it have played in American theaters? Are fungal zombies scarier than the classic George Romero zombies? Listen and find out!

The Girl with All the Gifts is directed by Colm McCarthy and stars Gemma Arterton, Paddy Considine, Glenn Close, and Sennia Nanua.

Shoutout to listener Tom H for the great recommendation!

Welcome back to Not A Bomb Presents: Breaking Brad. The premise is simple. Troy, Sammy from GGTMC, and Jose from Watch/Skip+ pick some of the worst films imaginable to see if they can break Brad. In this episode, the gang “delivers” a discussion on 2009’s Labor Pains. Starring the infamous Lindsay Lohan, Labor Pains finds Lindsay faking a pregnancy to keep her job. Yep, that’s the premise. The 94-minute runtime is plagued with unfunny jokes, a bratty little sister, Chris Parnell belittling himself, lame dog jokes, smoking in the girls room, and some of the worst music ever created. This may be the film that ends these little experiements!

Make sure to stick around after the discussion to hear the winners of the listener requests for October!

Welcome back to Not A Bomb Presents: Breaking Brad. The premise is pretty simple. Troy, Sammy from GGTMC, and Jose from Watch/Skip+ pick some of the worst films imaginable to see if they can break Brad. In this episode, the we tackle…well, we’re not exactly sure what it is, but the film is called Love on a Leash. In this “romantic comedy,” Jana wears a lot of green, finds a dog that turns into a man at night, gets sexually assaulted by her store manager, tries to walk on water, sleeps in a heart-shaped bed, takes erotic dog-themed photos, and becomes an old woman by the end of the film. Not only did this film Break Brad, but the collateral damage is quite evident.  Do not watch the movie, but certainly listen to the episode!
