Episode 253 - Soldier
from Not a Bomb Hosted by Not A Bomb Podcast
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. In this episode, Troy and Brad discuss one of the most underrated science fiction films of the last 30 years—a film that raises the intriguing question: “What if Kurt Russell didn’t have a mullet?” This week, they delve into the 1998 film Soldier, which some consider a potential sidequel to Blade Runner. This film stretches the limits of "face acting"—and maybe even Paul Anderson’s directing chops. Is it worth a second watch? Does Russell manage to leave a mark with just 104 words of dialogue? And will Brad at long last reconcile his oddly specific obsession with child death in cinema? Tune in to find out! Soldier is directed by Paul W.S. Anderson and stars Kurt Russell, Jason Scott Lee, Connie Nielsen, Michael Chiklis, and Gary Busey Not A Bomb has has plenty of spooky designs in our Merch store!
