Episode 233 - Madame Web

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. “He was in the Amazon with my mom when she was researching spiders before she died.” The time has finally come as Troy and Brad discuss one of the biggest bombs of 2024 - Madame Web. No review of Madame Web would be complete without superfan - Jose from Watch Skip Plus, and his vast knowledge is put to the test as Troy and Brad have so many questions. Madame Web is a maddening comic book film short on plot but heavy on exposition. Do the spider-women ever get their powers? Is Dakota Johnson an alien or a robot? Why is the villain clearly ADR’d? Did Pepsi sponsor this movie as anti-Coke Cola propaganda? Listen and find out! Madame Web is directed by S. J. Clarkson and stars Dakota Johnson, Sydney Sweeney, Isabela Merced, Celeste O’Connor, Tahar Rahim, Mike Epps, Emma Roberts, and Adam Scott.
