Episode 110 - The Rocketeer

What’s up, Bomb Squad and welcome back to the Not A Bomb Podcast. This is the show where we go back and reexamine some of the biggest cinematic bombs of all time. On this week’s show, Troy and Brad welcome their good friend and Lothar expert - Charlie. The episode is definitely a love letter to one of the greatest adventure films of all time, 1991’s The Rocketeer. Noted for its amazing cast, stellar movie poster, and some of the greatest 1930’s slang, The Rocketeer is what a summer blockbuster movie should be!
