Episode 158 - Money Train

Come on, ride the train (choo choo ride), and ride it (woo woo) (choo choo ride)! On this episode of Not A Bomb podcast, the guys welcome back friend of the podcast, Nate, to discuss 1995’s buddy action comedy - Money Train. Following the success of White Men Can’t Jump, studios hoped to replicate the box office return by reuniting Wesley Snipes and Woody Harrelson. The resulting film was 1995’s Money Train. Sadly, the film failed to make a White Men Can’t Jump sized impact and was both a financial and critical failure. Sure, Money Train might not be White Men Can’t Jump quality but were audiences and critics wrong about the movie? Is a 1995 Jennifer Lopez worth the price of admission? Does the chemistry of Snipes and Harrelson elevate a mediocre script? Download this week’s episode and find out. As a bonus, you get to hear the gang’s thoughts on White Men Can’t Jump. A great big shout out to Valencia for the suggestion!
