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.

We just watched Honey Don't — twice — and still can't believe how bad it was. Directed by Ethan Coen and co-written with Tricia Cooke, the film stars Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Evans, and Charlie Day in what should have been a stylish neo-noir. Instead, it's a messy, over-sexed, and painfully misguided movie that left us frustrated, confused, and honestly kind of angry. In this episode of Thumb War, we break down exactly why Honey Don't doesn't work — from the awkward sex scenes, one-note characters, and forced political gags, to the wasted performances of a stellar cast. We also compare it to Drive-Away Dolls, Bound, and even classic Coen Brothers films like Fargo and No Country for Old Men to highlight just how far this one misses the mark. Spoilers throughout. We also talk representation, Ethan & Joel Coen's split, and why this film feels like a wasted “blank check” project. If you saw Honey Don't, did you hate it as much as we did? Send us an email!

There have been a number of big summer movies like "F1: The Movie," "Superman" and "Jurrassic World: Rebirth." But these popcorn movies are not likely destined for big awards. Studios like to hold back the Oscar contenders for the fall, so in this week's episode we dive into which movies to watch for this fall and into the winter. You can also review a full list of notable films below.

Channing Tatum plays the thief, Peter Dinklage and Kirsten Dunst swirl around him. “Anemone” – Daniel Day-Lewis comes out of retirement for this film directed by his son, Ronan. The plot?

In this week's episode I sat down with Violet Ferguson. Violet is an emerging producer, content creator, and disability advocate based near Toronto, Ontario. Over the past few years, she's focused on sharing disability-led stories and supporting disabled voices through her filmmaking and advocacy work. She recently served as the associate producer on the award-nominated series The Squeaky Wheel: Canada, a disability-focused production that prioritized accessibility and disability representation both in front of and behind the camera—now heading into its second season. We discuss the 2025 film Materialists starring Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans. More specifically, we discuss a topic that's not often mentioned on-screen.

Send us a textWhat happens when movie obsession meets podcast dedication? A journey from basement recordings to approaching 200 episodes of cinematic conversations.Looking back at nearly four years of podcasting, we laugh about our humble beginnings—passing a single microphone back and forth, recording in friends' basements, and overthinking every introduction. Those early technical struggles have evolved into a dedicated setup and growing audience, especially as our TikTok clips gain traction. Despite our full-time jobs limiting production time, our passion for watching and discussing films remains unwavering.The streaming landscape has captured our attention lately, with one host deep into Stranger Things for the first time ("It's such binge worthy... I'm hooked") while the other eagerly discusses Peacemaker's return. We dive into Margaret Qualley's dark comedy "Honey Don't," dissecting everything from its disjointed plot and excessive sex scenes to the star-studded cast including Aubrey Plaza and Chris Evans. Sidney Sweeney's recent films "Eden" and "Americana" also get attention, with particular praise for Rod Howard's storytelling in "Eden" despite its limited theatrical promotion.Our conversation detours through Chance the Rapper's impressive new album, Tarantino's future projects, and the universal frustration of sitting through increasingly lengthy pre-movie advertisements ("sometimes it is 40 minutes before they start playing the movie"). Through it all, our enthusiasm for cinema shines through—whether recommending underrated gems or analyzing industry trends.Ready to join our movie-loving community? Subscribe now and catch our upcoming reviews of "Caught Stealing" with Austin Butler, plus our special episode marking our 200th milestone that's just around the corner!
En este episodio reflexiono sobre Materialistas (2025), la nueva película de Celine Song (Vidas Pasadas), una comedia romántica dramática que va mucho más allá del entretenimiento. Con Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal y Chris Evans en los papeles principales, el filme nos muestra cómo el amor moderno en las grandes ciudades se ha convertido en una transacción más, marcada por el materialismo, las apariencias y el miedo a la soledad. Pero detrás de esta historia late una pregunta profunda: ¿qué nos ofrece nuestra cultura como “salvación” frente al vacío? ¿Es el amor romántico idealizado capaz de llenar nuestro anhelo más profundo? Inspirado en voces como Tim Keller y C. S. Lewis, exploramos cómo el materialismo ciega nuestro corazón y cómo solo un amor más profundo —el amor de Dios en Cristo— puede liberarnos de la soledad y darnos verdadera satisfacción. Un análisis cultural y espiritual que conecta cine, teología y vida real.
Margaret Qualley is a true one-of-a-kind force in film and television. Her work is always appointment viewing because her filmography is brimming with variety and unique characters that challenge her to swing big in new ways. From The Leftovers and The Nice Guys to The Substance and Honey Don't, those roles don't work unless they're filled with an actor willing to pour every ounce of themself into bringing them to life on screen, and that right there is a consistent truth of Qualley's work.In her latest, Ethan Coen and Tricia Cooke's Drive-Away Dolls follow-up film, Honey Don't, Qualley headlines as the title character. Honey is a private investigator in Bakersfield, California who gets caught up in a series of deaths tied to a mysterious church. With the help of her assistant (Gabby Beans), Honey's attempt to crack the case puts her in Reverend Drew Devlin's (Chris Evans) orbit and overlaps with her budding relationship with Aubrey Plaza's MG, and her role as a supportive sister and aunt to Kristen Connolly and Talia Ryder's characters respectively.With Honey Don't now playing in theaters nationwide, Qualley joined me for a Collider Ladies Night chat during which we revisited her days as a dancer, including what prompted the switch to focus on acting. She also looks back on memorable lessons learned making The Leftovers and The Nice Guys, considers how working on The Substance changed her, and talked about her top-tier scene partners in Honey Don't.

Take us with you for one last beach trip before summer ends here at Breakfast All Day. It's sort of an Arthouse Tuesday on a Friday with the mix of movie reviews we have for you. We begin with "Honey Don't," Ethan Coen's second solo outing without brother Joel. We both love the Coens, but we don't really agree on this. Margaret Qualley stars as a lesbian private eye investigating a suspicious car accident in Bakersfield, California. Aubrey Plaza, Chris Evans and Charlie Day co-star. In theaters. Next is "Splitsville," which we both loved. It's an indie rom-com focusing on two married couples and their twisted, intertwined lives. The understated meanness is delightful, but there's a vulnerability underneath. Dakota Johnson, Adria Arjona, Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin star. Covino directed from a script he and Marvin co-wrote. In theaters. Then we turn to the Devo documentary, titled appropriately, "Devo." If you love the '80s new wave band, you'll appreciate this breezy but super informative look at how they came together and created their signature look and sound. Plus the music is so great: Both of us feel lucky to have seen Devo in concert, and you should definitely check them out live if you can. Streaming on Netflix. Finally, it was a lengthy Movie News LIVE!, as we discussed the dismaying state of film journalism. Plus: sing-along "KPop Demon Hunters," Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein," and we remember the legendary Terence Stamp, who died this week at 87.

For this week's main podcast review, Nadia Dalimonte, Dan Bayer, Katie Johnson & Joseln Safadi join me to review and discuss the latest film from Ethan Coen, "Honey Don't!," starring Margaret Qualley, Aubrey Plaza, Charlie Day, and Chris Evans. The second in a "lesbian B-movie trilogy" following Coen and co-writer/producer Tricia Cooke's "Drive-Away Dolls" (2024), the film premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and received a mixed response, but is now playing in theaters from Focus Features. What did we think of this Bakersfield, California-set modern detective story? Please tune in as we discuss the writing, direction, performances, comedy, how much we miss Joel Coen, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

The board ruled he must serve at least three more years before becoming eligible again. Officials also noted that his brother, Lyle Menendez, is scheduled for a separate hearing the following day.

Passend zum heiß erwarteten Romanzen-Neustart WAS IST LIEBE WERT – MATERIALISTS von Celine Song nehmen Lenny & Xenia in diesem Podcast das ganze Genre des Liebesfilms mal genauer unter die Lupe. Welche Romance-Tropes & -Klischees feiern die beiden ab und welche hängen ihnen schon zum Hals raus? Und können die Kapitalismuskritik & das hotte Liebesdreieck aus Pedro Pascal, Dakota Johnson und Chris Evans in MATERIALISTS überzeugen? Im Zuge dessen werfen die beiden auch einen Blick auf die teils absurde Serienadaption der Buchreihe DER SOMMER, ALS ICH SCHÖN WURDE. Außerdem darf sich Jonas für die Starts der Woche dazugesellen und mit den beiden über AFTERBURN, BITTER GOLD & NOBODY 2 quatschen. Viel Spaß bei dieser neuen Podcast-Folge auf CINEMA STRIKES BACK!

James Cameron Wilson says the new #2 film Materialists with Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans is one of his favourites of the year. A fascinating insight into online dating, it's a classic romantic drama that looks sensational and boasts a great screenplay. He found #8 Together a barmy and nonsensical body horror with little to recommend it. And he thought #10 Nobody 2 with Bob Odenkirk not a patch on the first film, being a formulaic, predictable & witless John Wick knockoff. He loved Netflix's Shark Whisperer, an intriguing documentary which, unusually, puts both sides of the argument and is a visual treat. Learn more about your ad choices.

INTRO:I'm finally back after my NDE from a month-long bout with H1N1 earlier this year. I'm Hank Davis, a nineteen year podcasting veteran, filmmaker, and soon to be musician (more on that in the coming weeks) and this is my review of Marvel's Fantastic Four.This is a spoiler-filled review of the movie and if you are overly sensitive to satire (that may or may not be funny) this won't be the podcast for you. SETTINGS:When it comes to the sets and immersion I feel that Fantastic Four shines. This is the first Marvel movie in recent years (that I've watched anyway) that has areas which actually feel populated and expansive. Maybe there are simply more people on Earth-828. We'd need to see the census data compared to Earth-616 but I digress.The retro design of the areas, vehicles, building interiors, clothing, and household items gave me a Jetsons meets Flash Gordon vibe. I thought they nailed costumes which are darn near impeccable. The aesthetics coalesce to create a believable world that simply hasn't been present in a Marvel film in quite some time. But a world is only as good as the characters you put in it.CHARACTERS:Vanessa Kirby's Sue Storm is believable, balanced, and didn't overpower the movie like Marvel tends to do female leads.Ben Grimm's portrayal is about as spot on as there's been in any incarnation of the character.While not my favorite, Joseph Quinn's Johnny Storm is likeable but not as punchy as the Chris Evans version. Thankfully, we didn't get the awkward “how are they related” gymnastics like the 2015 version. Outside of the writing Ralph Ineson does a solid job of bringing Galactus to life on the big screen.My sister's 8th grade sports trophy springs to life as Julia Garner attempts to give us a different take on Silver Surfer. While there's nothing like the original, Shalla-Bal didn't negatively impact the movie (outside of those initial concept renderings). Ultimately she portrayed a conflicted character that was believable. I laughed out loud when Stingray from Cobra Kai rolled in as the Mole Man. I guess Cobra Kai truly never dies! It's just been driven underground.Which unfortunately leads me to Reed Richards himself portrayed by Pedro Pascal. Pedro Pascal is as much Mister Fantastic as I'm Denzel Washington. I needed to see another Pedro lead like a golf club to the head (SFX). If you know, you know. He delivers amazing lines like "I don't know." and others that make you second guess the idea that he's the smartest man alive. I am suffering from Pedro fatigue!HITS:I'll say it again, the costumes were excellent! Even though I couldn't help but itch myself uncomfortably while looking at that material, the suits were incredible.The Thing was done justice in this movie! I thought about how cool playing a video game would be as he smashed through the columns of that building. Can we get The Thing vs The Hulk please? That's one of my favorite comic book childhood matchups.I liked the blending of high and low tech items. Seeing physical records made me nostalgic but didn't take away from the sophisticated feel the film delivers.The message of world-wide unity in the face of extreme turmoil was a refreshing insertion that didn't feel like a ‘nine iron to the head' political lecture.Who doesn't love a superpowered baby? Although I wished they would have fleshed that out more in this particular movie instead of hoping I watch what's next. A cute baby trumps an obnoxious dog any day of the week. I'm looking at you James Gunn!MISSES:Galactus is estimated to be approximately 440 meters tall.

Our latest guest on Soundtracking is Celine Song, writer and director of romantic comedy, The Materialists. Starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal, the film follows the story of a New York City matchmaker torn between her aspiring-actor ex-boyfriend and a charming millionaire. It's scored beautifully by our old friend, Daniel Pemberton.
England goalkeeper and Lionesses legend Hannah Hampton joins Nuala McGovern on Woman's Hour fresh from winning the UEFA European Women's Championship. Born with a serious eye condition, doctors told her she should never play football. She came into the recent Euros with questions over her ability to fill the gloves of recently retired Mary Earps. To add to that, she revealed her grandfather had died just days before the biggest tournament of her life began earlier this summer. Despite this, Hannah had an extraordinary tournament, particularly in those agonising penalty shootouts. She joins Nuala McGovern to chat all about it. In June this year in Pakistan, Bano Bibi, a mother of five, and Ehsanullah Samalani, a father of three, were accused of having an affair and were shot - on the orders of a tribal leader, according to police. The event caused outrage, not just because it was another so-called ‘honour killing', but because the authorities only took action after a video of the shootings went viral, more than six weeks later. Nuala is joined by Azadeh Moshiri, Pakistan Correspondent for BBC News, and Sheema Kermani, a woman's rights activist, dancer and theatre director who has been working with women in rural and marginalised communities for 50 years. Writer and director Celine Song's semi-autobiographical debut Past Lives earned her two Oscar nominations and a host of other accolades when it was released in 2023. She talks to Nuala about her second film, Materialists, a romantic dramedy starring Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, and how it was inspired by her own time working as a matchmaker for high-net-worth individuals in New York. Construction employs around 1.4 million people in Great Britain, according to the Office for National Statistics, but only around 15% of those people are women. And they don't always have a positive experience, with 30% having reported sexual assault at work and 64% saying men were paid more for the same role. So, as the industry faces a recruitment crisis, how could it evolve to become a safer and fairer place to work and encourage more women into construction? Nuala explores the problems and the opportunities with Faye Allen, author of Building Women, and Dr Carol Massay of Unity for Construction, who've both worked in the industry for more than 30 years. And we remember long-serving Blue Peter editor Biddy Baxter, renowned for turning the children's show into a television institution, who has died at the age of 92.Presented by: Nuala McGovern Produced by: Sarah Jane Griffiths
