Welcome back to another exciting episode of Not A Bomb Podcast. This is the podcast where we re-examine some of the biggest bombs in cinematic history. Oh man, do we have a treat for you! This week's show is all about Cannon films, and you can't talk about Cannon without Austin Trunick. Austin is the author of two excellent retrospective books - The Cannon Film Guide: Vol 1 and 2. If you have ever wanted to know something about Cannon Films, Austin is the guy to talk to. While Cannon created a ton of cult favorites, they also dipped their toes into some prestige storytelling. We decided to go a bit more “highbrow” with this week's choice and are discussing 1985's Runaway Train. This Academy Award nominated film started as a screenplay by legendary filmmaker Akira Kurosawa and was passed around by several Hollywood executives. The story of two escaped convicts who become stuck on a…you guessed it…runaway train finally found a home with Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus. Austin brings so much insight to this film and we are super excited he joined us for this week's conversation. So, sit back, relax, and learn all about one of the best stories to come out of The Cannon Group, Runaway Train. Runway Train is directed by Andrei Konchalovsky and stars John Voight, Eric Roberts, Rebecca De Mornay, Kyle T. Heffner, John P. Ryan, T.K. Carter, and Kenneth McMillian.Be sure to check out The Cannon Film Guide: Vol 1 and Vol 2, or please support your local bookstore and ask them to order it for you. If you want to leave feedback or suggest a movie bomb, please drop us a line at NotABombPod@gmail.com or Contact Us - here. Also, if you like what you hear, leave a review on Apple Podcast.

"ROYAL BLOOD!" Well, Cannonheads. The Cannon Bros (Frank & Geoff) have one last Cannon hurrah before shooting up the coffin of The Cannon Canon. The Cannon Canon is taking an indefinite hiatus (possibly returning with a new format/focus in the future) and what better way to send us off than with Cannon's "final" movie, HELLBOUND! In this episode, The Cannon Bros reminisce about their 4-year run and FINALLY try Bronson's cologne, Mandom! We chat about the wild tone shifts of Hellbound, the proto-Walker Texas Ranger vibes, the heavy lifting of acting from Calvin Levels and of course...thuddy quips from the “black hole of comedy”, Molasses 2x4! Thank you to everyone who listened and supported the show! Especially to our Patreon members and also to the author of The Cannon Film Guide series himself, Austin Trunick. We thought we'd be the future! But then Marion Cobretti pointed his gun at us and said, "No. You're history". Thanks for everything, Cannon fans.

We continue Marc's Miserable MARVELous May with 1990's Captain America - movie that should have been made by New World Pictures but wasn't.

Is Captain America the older sibling of Ralphie and Randy Parker from A Christmas Story? Can a piano stay tuned when placed on a castle wall overlooking the ocean? Should you let your kids wander the streets of Washington DC at night so they can practice their amateur photography skills? We discuss.

Austin Trunick is a film enthusiast and author of the two-volume series The Cannon Film Guide, soon to be expanding into its third volume. Austin and I spend some time talking about the history of the Cannon Film Group, and how their brand of cheap action films fit into the larger movie culture of the 80s. This involves a lot of comparing notes about early video rental places prior to the transition to DVD. We also dig drive-ins like the Mahoning Valley Drive-In. — See Show Notes at www.AaronBossig.com Follow me on Twitter - @AaronBossig

“It's not religion – it's the onset of senility.”We take a look at one of the last films made by the legendary Cannon Group, FIFTY/FIFTY (1992) before the company went belly up. The film stars Robocop and Ted Stryker as a pair of bickering mercenaries hired by the CIA to overthrow a meddlesome dictator. We're joined by Cannon aficionado Austin Trunick, author of The Cannon Film Guide, to discuss this under-the-radar gem.

This part 2 of the Cannon Cast. If you missed part 1 - we discussed the Tobe Hooper film INVADERS FROM MARS (1986) with our special guest Austin Trunick, author of The Cannon Film Guide. As previously mentioned, our conversation was too large to be contained in one single podcast episode. So we split it in two. This episode we pick up right where we left off and discuss Tobe Hooper's other two Cannon Films: LIFEFORCE (1985) and THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 (1986). So welcome and enjoy our conversation already in progress.

Welcome to the Cannon Cast: Part 1 - INVADERS FROM MARS. This episode features special guest Austin Trunick, author of THE CANNON FILM GUIDE. Our plan was simple. Carve out a little bit of time to discuss Tobe Hooper's 3 Cannon films -INVADERS FROM MARS (1986), LIFEFORCE (1985), and THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE 2 (1986). Though we had a great conversation with Austin about these 3 films, it was a long conversation. So, we split this episode into two parts. You are listening to part 1. We go through introductions, share a few other films we've each watched recently, and spend some time talking about INVADERS FROM MARS. Enjoy Part 1 of our discussion with Austin and then check out Part 2 which will be released within a day or so of this episode.

Austin Trunick, the author of The Cannon Film Guide, joins me on the podcast today. Cannon Films produced some of the greatest 80s action movies. The podcast discussion ranges from behind-the-scenes history of Cannon Films to specific movies like Invasion USA, Firewalker, Bloodsport, and more. We talk about how Cannon Films jumped on and helped fuel the ninja and breakdancing crazes of the 80s. Plus Austin used to play D&D and is now getting back into the hobby and we touch on an RPG campaign is he hoping to run.
https://linktr.ee/_red_river_podcast This week we invited Austin Trunick on to talk about his series of books about Cannon. Just random discussions on Bronson, Chuck Norris, and The Exterminator 2, to name a few topics. The Cannon Film Guide vol2 1985-1987 will be out soon.

OH GOD! OH MAN OH GOD! OH MAN! OH...baby. Have we got a wild one today. The Cannon Bros (Geoff and Frank) are tackling the 1987 Norman Mailer "Comedy" Crime Drama, Tough Guys Don't Dance. Joining us is the author of The Cannon Film Guide Vol 1, 1980-1984 and the upcoming The Cannon Film Guide Vol 2, 1985-1988, Austin Trunick! That's right a POWERHOUSE of Cannon films knowledge. But will we be able to tell you what is going on in this movie? Probably not. Will we be able to explain if this is a powerful parody of the genre or Norman Mailer crapped this movie and book out in a haze of cocaine? Unclear. And why is everyone spitting out their unwieldy dialogue like they are doing a high school production of a Tennessee Williams play in the middle of Rhode Island? Well, we definitely don't get that, but we have a lot of fun trying to figure it out and so will you! So, sit back, relax, grab a head in a bag or three? And start figuring out if Tough Guys really Don't Dance? Maybe?

If you've listened to this show before, you know about our deep-rooted love for all things Cannon Films. We don't know exactly what it is about this company, but we can never stop talking about them. Ninjas, Chuck Norris, Charles Bronson, break dancing, sex comedies, Jean Claude Van Damme, and lots of shlock! What's not to love?! So this week, we brought in our new friend, Austin Trunick, the author of "The Cannon Film Guide Vol 1" (volume 2 is coming soon) to judge this all Cannon battle. Following the film guide, we stayed in the 80s for this episode. First up, going back to the early days of Cannon (under Golan and Globus of course), Mancrush brings the best of Cannon, 1982. Smack dab in the middle of this competition, Marc James grabs dons his zipper jacket and delivers the best Cannon had to offer from 1984. Bridging the way to Austin's Vol 2, Mike Ranger brings Cannon of 1986 to this battle! If you're a fan of Cannon Films, we're sure you'll dig this episode and we totally recommend picking up Austin's book! If you don't know Cannon, you'll definitely want to hear more by the end. In this episode, you might hear something about: faking it till you make it, turbulent partnerships, fancy lunches on styrofoam plates, naked horseback riding, careers we wish we had, video store ninjas, the cure to any computer virus wears sunglasses, hookers on television, the boring BBC, Amanda makes Marc lascivious, music for murderers, the perfect use for a U2 track, Chaka Kahn is a freakshow on the dance floor, Jean Claude Van Damme fables, The Cannon Kibbutz, V8 makes everything sexier, terrorists, uzis, motorcycles, explosions, violence, sex, crabs and a lot more Cannon tidbits from Austin!
