The podcast where we tackle cinema's biggest box office failures and decide if they deserve a second chance. “Would a robot ever dream of leaving the stars behind?” This week, Troy and Brad explore one of 2024's most ambitious animated flops—Mars Express! Joining the discussion is director, editor, writer, and most importantly - friend of the podcast, Michael Neel, ready to break down this cyberpunk noir. The gang dives deep into the tangled mysteries of Mars, dissecting everything from brain farming conspiracies to the bittersweet android-human partnership at the film's core. Before jumping into the main discussion, Michael talks about his own film, Infinite Santa 8000, and provides the guys a unique perspective on the creative process. Is Mars Express a modern Blade Runner or just another confusing space odyssey? Did the film's heady themes and experimental animation scare off audiences? Directed by Jérémie Périn and featuring stunning visuals alongside a complex narrative, Mars Express might just deserve a ticket back to theaters—or does it? Tune in and find out! Don't forget to check out our Not A Bomb Tee Public store for all your Martian-themed merch! As always, we love your feedback, so hit us up at NotABombPod@gmail.com or leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify. Let's keep saving cinema's forgotten treasures together.

Welcome back to your favorite podcast about some of Hollywood's biggest bombs. This month, Not A Bomb is examining some of 2023's biggest box office failures and critically lambasted films! Once again, Brad's shenanigans are back and he's breaking all the rules. On this week's episode, the guys welcome back Jose from Watch/Skip+ to discuss the very divisive film from 2022 that didn't get a wide release until 2023, Babylon. This three hour epic is an ode to Hollywood during the transition from silent films to talkies (imagine Singing in the Rain but much darker in tone). Notable for its All-Star cast, Babylon failed to make an impact at the box-office and divided most critics. Does Babylon's 3-hour runtime deserve your attention? Is it too obnoxious, trangressive, and pretensious for the average film fan? Or maybe this is a visually majestic tragedy that will soon become a cult classic? Download and listen!Babylon is directed by Damein Chazelle and stars Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt, Diego Calva, Jean Smart, Jovan Adepo, Li Jun Li, P.J. Bryne, Lukas Haas, Max Minghella, Rory Scovel, Katherine Waterston, and Tobey Maguire. As the year comes to an end, Not A Bomb wants to know your best/worst films of 2023. Head over to Not A Bomb and submit your choice! Also, longtime friend of Troy and Brad, Michael Neel, released his movie - Infinite Santa 8000 via Synapse Films. Do yourself a favor and order your copy before they are gone. If you want to leave feedback or suggest a movie bomb, please drop us a line at NotABombPod@gmail.com or Contact Us - here.

Welcome the newest episode of Dark Discussions, your place for the discussion of horror film, fiction, and all that’s fantastic. With our discussion of the new film, The Witch, where we spoke a good amount on it and the reaction of viewers, the remainder of our discussion focused on a whole lot of things which has now been broken out as its own episode. The fifth of the rare Bits, Pieces, and Body Parts episodes is here. Your co-hosts go on about a number of interesting topics. We happen to discuss a bit about the 10 Cloverfield Lane title and its relationship (or maybe not so much of a relationship) with the original Cloverfield film and how Hollywood decides to make trailers and advertise. The new Ghostbuster reboot trailer is here and we discuss that. Also we discuss the Oscars, how two genre legends were memorialized (Wes Crave and Leonard Nimoy), and how many genre films (or films with genre roots) won awards including The Revenant, Room, The Hateful Eight, Mad Max, and Ex Machina. Lastly there's an interview with director, screenwriter, and animator Michael Neel who is behind such cult flicks as Drive-In Horror Show and Infinite Santa 8000. He talks about his new projects including a whole web series related to the Infinite Santa post-apocalyptic universe. Also, there's a new Terror Tantrum review by Patrick Lacey where he discusses the Scream Factory blu-ray release, Curse and Curse 2. Call this episode a bonus episode since our review of The Witch and 10 Clovefield Lane are all but upon us.

Welcome the newest episode of Dark Discussions, your place for the discussion of horror film, fiction, and all that’s fantastic. 12 Monkeys, A Boy and His Dog, Desert Punk, The Screwfly Solution, The Matrix, Mad Max, Atlas Shrugged, any number of zombie and alien invasion films. You name it, post-apocalyptic film and literature has been a staple of the genre fan for years. From complete failure of the machine in Mad Max and Atlas Shrugged, to the threat upon the fairer sex in the Screwfly Solution and A Boy and His Dog, to the behavioral science of the characters in The Walking Dead and The Stand. It's been used as a commentary on the world and where we are headed for decades. Then we have Christmas horror. Bob Clark, most famous for the delightful holiday film, A Christmas Story, was also the man behind Black Christmas. Silent Night, Deadly Night caused an uproar during its initial release in the early 1980's. Gremlins, backed by Stephen Spielberg, became an immediate classic and caused the change in the American film rating system. But what about independent cinema. Here on Dark Discussions, co-host Philip interviews director/screenwriter Michael Neel about his mash up animated post-apocalyptic and Christmas film that pays tribute to Christmas horror, post-apocalyptic horror, and adult graphic material such as The Walking Dead, Heavy Metal magazine, and classic anime. Whether a fun film to have a blast with or a movie with messages intentional or not, Infinite Santa 8000 , the new film by Burnt Reindeer Films, comes alive. One of the best animated genre films of 2013. As always we welcome your comments: darkdiscussions@aol.com (written email or attached mp3 files) WWW.DARKDISCUSSIONS.COM
