Episode 141 - Fight Club

The first rule of Not A Bomb Podcast, is that you don’t talk about Not A Bomb Podcast. Just kidding! Please, tell everybody about Not a Bomb Podcast! Share the love! Speaking of love, Brad and Troy punch their way through another entry in bromance month. This week, the guys discuss 1999’s seminal classic - Fight Club. Directed by Not A Bomb favorite - David Fincher, Fight Club was a surprise bomb and left many critics lukewarm. The movie only experienced success because of the number of DVD’s the studio eventually sold. Now, in 2023, the guys ask a series of important questions about this influential film. Is Fight Club still relevant? Why did the audience miss the point of the film in 1999? What is Fight Club trying to say about the America Dream? Has much changed between 1999 and 2023?
