SPOILER'D: Her Private Hell — Nicolas Winding Refn's meta sci-fi giallo about a killer myth, a director's harem, and one seriously fractured family.In this spoiler-filled breakdown of Her Private Hell, Watch Skip Plus explores Refn's dreamlike narrative, shocking imagery, the Leatherman mythology, daddy issues, horror influences, and one of the year's most ambiguous endings.

We genuinely couldn't decide if this was a Watch... or a Skip. Nicolas Winding Refn's first film in nearly a decade is hypnotic, hilarious, violent, gorgeous, frustrating—and unlike anything else in theaters. This week, Cupcake and WillDaBeast tackle Nicolas Winding Refn's long-awaited return with Her Own Private Hell, a hypnotic blend of neon noir, Hollywood satire, hyperviolence, eroticism, and dream logic that left us laughing, scratching our heads, and wanting to see it all over again.Along the way we revisit Refn's remarkable career—from Bronson and Drive to Only God Forgives and The Neon Demon—while discussing Sophie Thatcher, Charles Melton's magnetic screen presence, stunning cinematography, David Lynch influences, and why this may be the strangest conversation we've ever had on Watch Skip Plus.Whether you think it's a masterpiece or a complete disaster...we're not entirely sure you're wrong.- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!***Original Theme music: Linus Fitness-Center https://tr.ee/j7RkZlFOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.comBe kind.

Tentacle Horror Gets DEEP?!You've seen Touch Me (streaming on Shudder and AMC+), and now it's time to unpack... whatever THAT was. From alien tentacle sex and body horror to trauma bonding, cult psychology, addiction, and one seriously divisive ending, we're breaking down everything that made Touch Me one of the strangest horror movies of the year. Did the movie have something meaningful to say—or was it simply throwing every bizarre idea at the screen?

Live-action Hentai Alien Psychosexual Thriller is….a choice.Watch Skip Plus is BACK! WillDaBeast is back from his Vegas Birthday jaunt, and the Boyz review their first streamer: the Shudder/AMC+ exclusive Touch Me. The Addison Heimann directed psychosexual thriller debuted January 2025 at Sundance. With its attractive cast (Olivia Taylor Dudley, a fiery Jordan Garvaris, a studly and nude Lou Taylor Pucci) and impressive cinematography, could the film's abuse and trauma mixed with Adult Swim humor and weirdo non-sequitors and tentacle sex (yes….Hentai-esque tentacle sex) have been too much for distributors? There may actually be a reason this was dumped on streaming.HIDE YOUR WIVES AND BOYFRIENDS AND CHECK OUT OUR SPOILER FREE REVIEW!(Come back for the SPOILER'D / movie breakdown episode streets Sunday!)- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.comBe kind.

WillDaBeast was on vacay, but Cupcake joined our YouTube brothers' podcast “...And Now for Something A Little Bit Different” to discuss the James Gun led DC Studios' second film after the successful Superman: Supergirl, starring Milly Alcock, Eve Ridley, David Corenswet, and Matthias Schonaerts. Written by Ana Nogueira and directed by auteur Craig Gillespie (“Lars and the Real Girl”, “I, Tonya”, and Disney's “Cruella”), this film BOMBED spectacularly. Is it really terrible or is this a major case of SCRIPTONITE and a victim of test screenings that saw 25 MINUTES shaved from the originally planned running time of Two Hours and 15 minutes?

This week's experiment: Visitors from the Arkana Galaxy, an Eastern European sci‑fi fever dream that asks, “What if humanity's first contact looked like a disco‑soaked existential crisis?” and then answers with one of the most gloriously unhinged films ever committed to celluloid. Strange creatures, stranger humans, and a plot that feels beamed in from another dimension collide into something so confident, so imaginative, so defiantly weird that you start to wonder if the filmmakers actually were from Arkana.The movie drifts through surreal set pieces, deadpan performances, and cosmic absurdity with the swagger of a masterpiece that knows you'll never fully understand it and doesn't care. In no way is this Breaking Brad; if anything, it might be one of the greatest films ever made, a reminder that sometimes the best cinema comes from the outer edges of sanity and geography.Expect baffling brilliance, unexpected beauty, and the kind of sci‑fi ambition that makes modern blockbusters look timid. Visitors from the Arkana Galaxy isn't just a movie, it's a transmission from a better, weirder universe, and we're lucky it reached us at all.Be sure to subscribe to the Gentlemen's Guide to Midnite Cinema to hear more of Sammy.

Disclosure Day SPOILER'D | Spielberg's Aliens, That Ending Explained & Why It Almost Works*SPOILERS AHEAD IN THE DESCRIPTION TOO!Cupcake and WillDaBeast go full spoiler on Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day — the alien footage, the ending that divided them, and one very confusing wheelchair alien in what might be the most ambitious final act Spielberg has stumbled on in years. Does this sci-fi drama earn its Close Encounters comparisons or plays more like a prestige X-Files episode that runs out of answers right when you need them most. Is it mid-tier Spielberg with flashes of greatness, or did the movie genuinely sh*t the bed at the finish line?

Spielberg, aliens, and a CGI fox that should be tried for war crimes. Welcome to Disclosure Day.Cupcake and Mike review Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day, starring Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor, Colin Firth, Colman Domingo, and Eve Hewson — a North by Northwest-meets-Close Encounters conspiracy thriller about what happens when the government finally admits aliens are real. Written by David Koepp, scored by John Williams, shot by Janusz Kaminski — this is about as classic-Spielberg a creative team as it gets. So why does this conversation get so heated? Is Spielberg "too old for this"? Why are Mike and Jose deeply split on Emily Blunt and Josh O'Connor performances? Is the third act really the humanity unifying resolution or did a legendary filmmaker shit the bed?

Masters of the Universe (2026) | Flash Gordon Meets The Office (We Mean That as a Compliment)It's not a good movie. It is, however, a great time — and Cupcake and WillDaBeast are ready to make the case.Travis Knight's Masters of the Universe has everything: a jacked Nicholas Galitzine, a scenery-devouring Jared Leto as Skeletor, Alison Brie going full Evil-Lyn, and a tone so chaotic it somehow circles back around to charming.

This week's experiment: the shimmering, logic‑defying pop‑music fever dream known as Glitter. A film that dares to ask, “What if Mariah Carey starred in her own A Star Is Born?” and then immediately forgets to answer because it got distracted by a sparkly butterfly.Set in a version of 1980s New York that appears to have been reconstructed entirely from perfume commercials and vague memories, Glitter is less a movie and more an extended montage that occasionally remembers it should have dialogue. Plot threads drift in and out like they're late for a different film, emotional beats land with the grace of a dropped microphone, and the editing suggests someone was frantically trying to escape the room while cutting it.Mariah whisper‑acts her way through heartbreak, fame, and several questionable wardrobe choices, while her love interest delivers a performance so beige it could be sold at Home Depot. It's not just a movie, it's a stress test. Of patience. Of endurance. Of Brad's ability to keep his soul from leaving his body mid‑episode. And this week, we find out whether he can survive ninety minutes of glitter‑coated melodrama… or if this is the moment he finally, truly, spectacularly breaks.Be sure to subscribe to the Gentlemen's Guide to Midnite Cinema to hear more of Sammy.

Raiders of the Podcast & EF ContentmentJose (Cupcake) and Mike (WillDaBeast) bring back two beloved pod guests — Kevin from Raiders of the Podcast and E.f. Contentment — for a spoiler-free review of Obsession (2025), the polarizing TIFF sensation from YouTube filmmaker Curry Barker, now distributed by Blumhouse.Part Gen Z Fatal Attraction, part Ari Aster descent-into-dread, Obsession arrives loaded with hype, and the crew debates whether it earns every bit of it. Starring Michael Johnston and a star-making Indy Navarrete, this is a horror film with layers: a monkey's paw premise modernized into something raw, uncomfortable, and genuinely hard to shake. Imagine Hereditary meets May meets Fresh — and you're still not quite there.The Boyz cover Barker's origin story (including his debut $800 found footage film Milk & Serial), the film's consent and mental health subtext, and whether Indy Navarrete is the next Mia Goth.

We also debate whether the franchise should just lean into being a 90-minute fight movie and stop reaching for Game of Thrones-esque mythology.Two of us walked out calling it a watch, one a BIG skip.

MK2 (2026): Fatalities, Fan Service & a Panel Divided | ft. Brian from Lucky Finds ComicsJose (Cupcake), Mike (WillDaBeast), and Brian from Luck Key Finds Comics go spoiler-free on Mortal Kombat 2 (2026) — and the panel is split wide open. Karl Urban arrives as Johnny Cage, Ludi Lin returns as Liu Kang, Josh Lawson is back as Kano, and Adeline Rudolph steps up as Katana in a film that's part fan service, part franchise-building behemoth, and — for at least one of us — a brutal disappointment. Fans of Mortal Kombat (1995), Mortal Kombat (2021), and classic video game tournament films like Enter the Dragon and Bloodsport will find a lot to chew on here. We dig into the franchise legacy, the creative team behind the film, and deliver three very different verdicts — including one that drops the hammer hard. Watch or skip? You'll have to listen to find out who loved it, who had reservations, and who called Finish Him on the whole thing.

HOKUM (2026) — Full Spoiler Breakdown & Ending Explained SPOILER WARNING — this one is fully spoiled. Cupcake and WillDaBeast go deep on Hokum, Damien McCarthy's 2026 supernatural Irish folklore horror starring Adam Scott, and nothing is off limits. What starts as a haunted hotel story quietly becomes something much more devastating: a film about guilt, accidental violence, and whether the ghosts we carry are out to destroy us or set us free. We unpack the full mythology of the witch in the honeymoon suite, trace every character's haunting back to its source, and wrestle with whether McCarthy earned his ending or showed too much too soon. Mike also gets personal in a way that genuinely stopped us in our tracks. We also break down the full Damien McCarthy filmography fingerprint....every crossbow, chalk circle, chained man, and creepy rabbit across Caveat, Oddity, and Hokum...and make the case that these three films deserve to be packaged and sold as an Irish folklore trilogy.

Hokum Review | Caveat & Oddity Director Damian McCarthy Swings Big with Adam ScottIrish folklore horror is having a moment — and Hokum (2026), the latest from writer-director Damian McCarthy (Caveat, Oddity), might be its most ambitious entry yet. Adam Scott (Severance, Parks and Rec, Krampus, Step Brothers) plays an author so deeply unlikable you'll be rooting against him, but McCarthy keeps pulling you into his strange, slow-burning world anyway. Think The Shining, 1408, What Lies Beneath, and Creepshow blended with ancient Irish mythology and a very weird goat. Austin Amelio (The Walking Dead) also appears in a memorable supporting role. Cupcake crushes on this sexy dude.Jose (Cupcake) and Mike (WillDaBeast) debate whether McCarthy's supernatural stew holds together and whether this completes what just might be an Irish folklore horror trilogy.

If Possession, Black Swan, The Babadook, or Bram Stoker's Dracula hit for you, this film belongs in that conversation: It's a story about creative partnership, female friendship, betrayal, and the unresolved trauma that lives in the space between two people who were once everything  to each other.- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.comBe kind.

This week's experiment: the baffling, bargain-bin martial arts spectacle known as King Kong Fu. A film that dares to ask, “What if a kung fu master… was also a gorilla?” and then refuses to answer that question in any coherent way.Shot in Wichita, the very place Troy grew up, this cinematic fever dream brings things uncomfortably close to home. Local landmarks, questionable fight choreography, and a surprising amount of gorilla-related mayhem combine into something that feels less like a movie and more like a dare that went too far.We would explain the plot, but much like the film itself, it seems to wander off halfway through and never fully return. Instead, expect a whirlwind of awkward dialogue, ambitious-but-confusing action, and editing choices that suggest time itself may be broken.It's not just a movie, it's a test of endurance. Of friendship. Of sanity. And on this episode, we find out whether Brad can survive a gorilla with a black belt… or if this is the episode that finally breaks him.No bananas required. Just emotional support.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+ • A podcast on Anchor.

We Saw Mother Mary and Oh My God — Spoiler-Free ReviewWe were supposed to review another film this week, one that also featured a pop star with a title starting with "M". Then A24 dropped Mother Mary — and honestly? Best pivot we've ever made!David Lowery's Mother Mary stars Anne Hathaway as a pop star on the cusp of her comeback, pulled back into the orbit of her estranged best friend and former costume designer, played by Michaela Coel. What sounds like a celebrity drama slowly reveals itself as something far more raw, strange, and beautiful. If you loved Black Swan, Portrait of a Lady on Fire, or anything in A24's weirder corner of their catalog, this one is for you.Jose and Mike share their spoiler-free takes with just genuine enthusiasm and a whole lot of feelings about Anne Hathaway, Michaela Coel, the music (by FKA Twigs, Charli XCX, and Jack Antonoff, and that FKA Twigs sequence.

We talk about what makes this feel like a grounded, gorier version of Nobody and how Wheatley's genre-blending sensibility makes Normal feel like the neo-noir Western we didn't know we needed.Then we pivot to Lee Cronin's The Mummy, the divisive body horror family drama that's also an exorcism film that's also a Sam Raimi Evil Dead riff that's also a revenge movie. We love Cronin, and there's real craft here, but we dig into why the film's identity crisis keeps it from landing as hard as it could. From the Nazmaranian demon mythology to the dentures scene to that wild epilogue, nothing is off limits.GET INTO OUR NEW SPOILER'D BREAKDOWN!- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.comBe kind.

 Normal & The Mummy: A Double Feature Worth Your Time (Spoiler-Free) | WatchSkip+Cupcake and Mike are doing something a little different this week — a genuine double feature review, clocking in under 30 minutes. First, they dig into Normal (2025), the new Ben Wheatley action-comedy written by Derek Kolstad and Bob Odenkirk. Is it just Nobody again? Not even close — and the guys break down why this deeply weird, gory, surprisingly soulful film deserves your attention in theaters right now. Then they turn to Lee Cronin's The Mummy (2025), the Blumhouse/Atomic Monster horror that has the internet divided. Jack Reynor leads a cast through something that plays less like a classic mummy tale and more like a psychological body horror spiral in the vein of Evil Dead Rise and Pet Sematary. Both hosts have verdicts. Neither one will spoil a thing — that's what Sunday's SPOILER'D episode is for.- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS!FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.comBe kind.

SPOILER'D: Faces of Death (2025) — Copycat Killers, Train Girls & the Internet as MonsterFull spoilers, full chaos. Jose, Mike, and guest Brian from Lucky Find Comics break down every gruesome detail of IFC/Shudder's Faces of Death remake — from Dacre Montgomery's twitchy, OCD-informed performance to the question of whether that final girl ending earns the whole messy ride.They dig into the movie's fascinating meta premise (a killer remaking the original death tapes), the De Palma split screen that should've happened more, the Don't F**k With Cats second act that genuinely works, and the bumbling cops that nearly tank the third. Brian brings his true crime psychology lens to the villain's motivation, and the crew debates whether Margot's haunting final upload is a victory or the beginning of something darker.Also on the table: the Exorcist taxi shot, the Charli XCX cameo, the lipstick knife backstory nobody asked for but Brian delivered anyway, and the Shudder franchise potential that could make this the next VHS.Two watches.

Is the Faces of Death Reimagining Worth It? Spoiler Free w/ Guest BrianJose, Mike, and returning guest Brian from Luck Key Finds Comics take on the 2025 reimagining of Faces of Death, itself the notorious 1978 Mondo cult film that everyone whispered about but nobody's parents would let them watch. Directors Daniel Goldhaber and Isa Mazzei (Cam, How to Blow Up a Pipeline) modernize the concept in a big way, and the result is... complicated.We break down the cast (Dacre Montgomery (Stranger Things), Barbie Ferreira (Euphoria), Josie Tota, Jermaine Fowler, and Charli XCX), the Shudder/IFC acquisition, and whether the third act holds up or falls apart. Three opinions. No spoilers.

Think Force Majeure meets Marriage Story with a twist that will make you want to cancel your next dinner party game night.

SPOILER'D: They Will Kill You — The Ending, The Pig Head & Why the Immortal Twist WorksFull spoilers. No mercy. Cupcake and Mike are diving all the way into They Will Kill You, Kirill Sokolov's gloriously unhinged action-horror film starring Zazie Beetz, Patricia Arquette, Heather Graham, and Tom Felton.We break down every major beat: the burning axe scene (an all-timer), Heather Graham's rogue eyeball, the hotel's satanic hierarchy, what the devil's pig head actually means, and that ending. We also talk about the film's surprisingly sharp class commentary, the Get Out-adjacent themes of power and sacrifice, and why this is one of the most fun hard-R genre films in recent memory if you go in with the right mindset.Think Kill Bill's gleeful brutality meets the John Wick hotel mythology meets Big Trouble in Little China's "just catch up" storytelling energy — and you're in the right zip code.───────────────────────────────

They Will Kill You (2026) — Spoiler-Free Review | Is Zazie Beetz Our New Action Queen?This week Cupcake (Jose) and Mike (WillDaBeast) sit down with They Will Kill You (2026), a horror action comedy from Russian (and super-cutie) director Kirill Sokolov that's drawing inevitable comparisons to Kill Bill, Ready or Not, and Boy Kills World. But is it more than the sum of its influences? They dig into the cast (Zazie Beetz, Patricia Arquette, Tom Felton, Heather Graham), the director's Tarantino-heavy inspirations, and why this one might actually surprise you.

This week's experiment: the pint-sized action sequel The Impossible Kid, starring the endlessly charming Weng Weng. After the crew unexpectedly fell in love with the chaotic brilliance of For Your Height Only, they're diving back in… and happily so.And somehow, the magic is still there.What could have easily felt like a retread instead leans into everything that made the first film so special, the inventive action, the earnest weirdness, and a lead performance that's impossible not to root for. Sure, it's scrappy. Sure, it's unconventional. But that's exactly where the charm lives.This time, instead of asking “what are we watching?” the better question might be “why are we smiling so much?” The gadgets are still wild, the plot still zigzags in unexpected ways, but it all comes together into something that feels genuinely fun, and surprisingly heartfelt.It's not just a sequel… it's a reminder that sometimes lightning can strike twice.And on this episode, instead of trying to break Brad, the guys might have accidentally found something they all just… enjoy.Be sure to subscribe to the Gentlemen's Guide to Midnite Cinema to hear more of Sammy.

Is Project Hail Mary the Sci-Fi Event of the Year?

Love is in the air… which means it's time for a group of so-called friends to emotionally waterboard their buddy with terrible cinema.This week's experiment: the glitter-soaked fever dream starring Paris Hilton — The Hottie and the Nottie. A romantic comedy that bravely asks, “Can true love conquer all?” …and then immediately tests that theory against a script that absolutely cannot.We would break down the plot, but that would imply there's structure. Instead, imagine a loose collection of baffling decisions, early-2000s fashion choices, and jokes that feel like they were rescued from a rejected middle school notebook — all stitched together with lip gloss and desperation.It's a movie that doesn't just challenge beauty standards and rom-com tropes… it challenges friendships. And on this episode, we find out whether love is patient, love is kind — and whether Brad can survive 90 minutes of this without filing a formal complaint.Happy Valentine's Day. Bring chocolate. And emotional support.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+ • A podcast on Anchor.

It's a magical day…..for Season 2 of 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.To kick off the new season, the guys dive headfirst into their very first Neil Breen experience — Fateful Findings, a movie that boldly asks, “What if one man did everything… and maybe shouldn't have?”We tried to write a quick synopsis, but that's scientifically impossible. This film doesn't have a plot so much as it has… events. Many events. All happening. All at once. In ways no human mind can fully process.Will writer/producer/director/star/caterer/sound editor/makeup artist/set decorator Neil Breen finally be the one to break Brad?

Peace on Earth. Can it be??? No, apparently not. Angst and dread continue to reign supreme as we enter the death throes of 2025, so let's just embrace it and have a very happy Crisis-mas! We've stuffed the stocking fit to bursting in this year's special Christmas episode. We welcome back Sammy from the Gentlemen's Guide to Midnite Cinema, and habitual Caliber 9'er, Bryce Hamilton (who never says no to a good bit of stuffing). Together, we'll be delving into a triple feature of sort-of-Christmas movies, starting with Wake in Fright (1971) directed by Ted Kotcheff, taking a detour into classic film noir with Lady in the Lake (1946), directed by Robert Montgomery and accelerating finally up into a Hong Kong action cinema frenzy with City On Fire (1987), directed by Ringo Lam. We will be announcing a Spoiler Territory section for all these films. So if you haven't seen them before you listen, you can nevertheless avoid spoilers for Wake in Fright by skipping ahead to the 1:34:50 mark, for Lady in the Lake by skipping ahead to the 2:27:48 mark and for City On Fire by skipping ahead to 3:30:16.

PREPARE YOURSELVES: the first ever double review episode is upon YOU!!!! In what can only be described as a historic “creature double feature”, the verbose Watch/Skip Plus guys take on TWO movies in one episode - stripped down, no pluses, quick intro's, full on movie review glory! First up, yet another reinvention for the Predator franchise, Predator Badlands crash lands in theatres. Dan Trachtenberg (director of the last two Predator films - Prey and the animated Hulu exclusive Predators:Killer of Killers) gambles that audiences will take to a Predator film from the vantage point of the Predator itself. Did this perspective shift/PG-13 CGI fest work or should it be trophy killed as prey? Next up, Pod-Father Sam U. Rai from the Gentleman's Guide to Midnite Cinema sneaks in and the three take on the much anticipated Frankenstein, a little streamer exclusive on Netflix from wonderkind, monster-lover Guillermo Del Toro. After all the adaptations of Mary Shelley's thought-provoking novel,  did Del Toro build us a better masterpiece or are his creative excesses (brilliant and visually appealing as they are) taking the sheen off his usual visionary style? PS: Listen on to find out the weird James Cameron connection and the similar themes in both films!GET THIS DOUBLE INSIDE YOU………NOW!TIMESTAMPS00:00 Teaser04:52 Predator Badlands: The Franchise13:17 Predator Badlands: Below the Line / The Crew 18:22 Predator Badlands: Above the Line / The Cast20:40 Predator Badlands Spoiler Free Thoughts33:08 Predator Badlands SPOILED!43:29 Frankenstein: Intro44:17 Frankenstein: Below the Line / The Crew 49:24 Frankenstein: Above the Line / The Cast58:23 Frankenstein: Spoiler Free Thoughts 01:24:05 Frankenstein SPOILED!01:47:29 Outro- - - - - - - - - -WE ARE WATCH SKIP PLUS! FOLLOW/LIKE/SUBSCRIBE/REVIEW/LOVEEmail us: WatchSkipPlus@gmail.com#predatorbadlands #dantrachtenberg #ellefanning #dimitriusschusterkoloamatangi #patrickaison #sarahschachner #benjaminwallfisch #jeffcutter #20thcenturystudios #fox #disney #tsgentertainment #frankenstein #guillermodeltoro #oscarisaac #jacobelordi #christophwaltz #miagoth #felixkammerer #charlesdance #danlaustsen #alexandredesplat #bluegrassfilms #demilofilms #doubledareyou #ggtmc #jamescameron #berniewrightson

Crime and transgression from the golden age of Italian exploitation cinema this week, as Sammy from the Gentlemen's Guide to Midnite Cinema pops in to discuss Cry of a Prostitute (1974), directed by Andrea Bianchi, followed by To Be Twenty (1978), directed by Fernando Di Leo. We discuss the amazing second act of Henry Silva's career as a genuine star of Italian cinema, and delve into the deeper themes of gender politics in Di Leo's surprisingly heavy swing at the genre conventions of the day. It's not really possible to spoil Cry of a Prostitute, but we will call out Spoiler Territory for To Be Twenty. If you want to skip ahead from that point, you can rejoin the conversation at the 2:41:48 mark to avoid spoilers. Want to get in touch?

As the BO for the new Marvel film craters...our new episode is up (after tech snafus!) *Links in bio - please check out our video episodes on Spotify and YouTubeThe Boyz bring back Sam U. Rai from the Gentleman's Guide to Midnite Cinema to discuss yet another SUPERHERO film: the eagerly awaited The Fantastic Four: First Steps. The MCU is still floundering of late, far from its billion dollar a movie hey day. The ingredients are all there: Visionary director (Matt Shakman who created WandaVision), incredible cast (Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Ebon Moss-Barach, and Joseph Quinn), a retro-futuristic look, key Marvel characters (Galactus, Silver Surfer, Mole Man). Will this restore the MCU to greatness and finally herald a true vision of Marvel's first family or is it more Kevin Feige-trickery and just a placeholder for the next (Doomsday) movie? Strap in for an image-less, plus-less, two hourlong, no-holds-barred discussion that critiques the film and the state of the MCU.

And the truth is, he didn't die an ordinary man. In this bonus episode, Rob and Joe welcome Sammy from The Gentlemen's Guide to Midnite Cinema back on the show to pay tribute to the troubled genius of Ozzy Osbourne, a man whose life encompassed precipitous highs and very dark lows, but whose impact on the worlds of music and, indirectly, film  - not to mention pop culture at large - was immeasurable. Along with a discussion of his life and music, they also dive deep into Mario Bava's seminal 1963 horror masterpiece, Black Sabbath, the film from which the band took its name. After much dithering, the guys do eventually go into Spoiler Territory for the film – if you want to avoid those, the place to duck out and return later is 1:16:50. RIP Ozzy. Want to get in touch?

This week, we are trapped inside and beset by unnameable horrors in a dark corner of the Great White North. Sammy from the Gentlemen's Guide to Midnite Cinema pops in to discuss Pontypool (2008), directed by Bruce McDonald, followed by the notorious SOV act of lunacy, Things (1989), directed (if that's what you can call it?) by Andrew Jordan. As well as pondering the profound cultural influence of language as a thing in and of itself, we also tackle some other philosophical questions such as: The possibly Saxon origins of the word, "fart". Kettle or urn, which is better? And just what the hell does "no cap" mean? It's not really possible to spoil Things (because it's not really possible to understand the plot, assuming there is one), but we will call out Spoiler Territory for Pontypool.

Sadly, those nominations did not translate to box office success, and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen failed to recoup the $46 million budget. Does the third film of the “Trilogy of Imagination” deserve a second look? Or does this tall tale need to explode and be forgotten? Listen and find out!The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is directed by Terry Gilliam and stars John Neville, Eric Idle, Sarah Polley, Oliver Reed, Uma Thurman, Johnathan Pryce, and Valentina Cortese.Not A Bomb just launched new designs in our Merch store!

Welcome to your favorite spooky podcast about some of scariest cinematic bombs! On this week's thrilling episode, the gang bids a bittersweet farewell to the spookiest season of the year—yes, Spooktober is coming to a close. But hold on to your hats, folks, because this episode might have more tricks than treats! Our intrepid crew takes us deep into the realm of science fiction as they discuss the 2007 horror film The Invasion. Now, this motion picture marks the fourth cinematic adaptation of the 1955 novel “The Body Snatchers,” and stars none other than Nicole Kidman, alongside a pre-007 Daniel Craig, as they battle a world teeming with—you guessed it—body-snatching aliens! Joining the crew for this out-of-this-world discussion is Sammy from the GGTMC, and let me tell you, folks, things get wild fast. The conversation spirals into a chaotic frenzy—one so bizarre, it's been described as, and I quote, ‘like someone farting into your can of oatmeal.' Now, if that doesn't paint a picture, I don't know what will! So, dim the lights and prepare yourself for this light-hearted yet outlandish dive into The Invasion. It's all happening on the Not A Bomb Podcast—where absurdity reigns supreme, and the scares? Well, they're a little less than terrifying. Stay tuned! The Invasion is directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel and stars Nicole Kidman, Daniel Craig, Jeremy Northam, and Jeffery Wright. Not A Bomb just launched new designs in our Merch store!

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we explore some of cinema's biggest box failures and decide if they deserve a second chance.Listener Request Month rolls on as Troy and Brad welcome back Sammy of the GGTMC to take on one of the most intense films the podcast has ever covered. This week, we're headed to the trailer park with a big bucket of the Colonel's famous chicken in hand to dive into the 2011/2012 Southern Neo-Noir, Killer Joe. Brace yourself—this film is not for the faint of heart. It's brutal, violent, and pushes boundaries, fully earning its NC-17 rating. The gang covers everything from the best fried chicken to Matthew McConaughey's chilling performance, and even debates if this might be the movie that broke the Movie Guide scale.
