Welcome back to Not A Bomb! This is the podcast where we dive into some of cinema's biggest box office failures and explore whether they deserve a second chance! Pack your bags! We’re hitting the road; it's vacation time! For August, Not A Bomb's theme is vacation movies! Troy and Brad ride down the holiday road with the Griswold family in their fourth installment of the Vacation films, 1997s Vegas Vacation. Did the Griswold Cinematic Universe (GCU) run its course when Sparky and the gang found their way to Sin City? Does a PG rating, a sleepy performance from Chevy Chase, and a “barely-there” plot make Vegas Vacation a certified bomb? Surprisingly, one of the hosts has watched this thing 900 times! You’re going to have to listen and find out who is the expert of the GCU! Vegas Vacation is directed by Stephen Kessler and stars Chevy Chase, Beverly D’Angelo, Randy Quaid, Wayne Newton, Ethan Embry, and Wallace Shawn. Not A Bomb just launched new designs in our Merch store! Head over to the Not A Bomb Tee Public store and check them out. Special thanks to Ted Blair for the amazing designs! We value your feedback and suggestions. If you have a cinematic flop you'd like us to discuss, please reach out to us at NotABombPod@gmail.com or through our contact page. Your reviews and feedback are what keep us going. If you enjoy our content, consider leaving a review on Apple Podcast or Spotify. Cast: Brad, Troy
