Episode 131 - Morbius

It’s Morbin’ Time! Welcome back to another exciting episode of Not A Bomb podcast, the show that tackles some of the biggest bombs in cinema history! The crew is still looking at some of the biggest bombs of 2022 and this week they have a movie so nice Sony released it twice - Morbius. This D-List vampire finally grabbed the spotlight in the Marvel Cinematic Universe! The studio also hired a certified Joker and Oscar winner to play this iconic villain turned hero! To help breakdown such a complex and nuanced film (yes, that was sarcasm), Not A Bomb welcomes back Jose from the Watch/Skip+ Podcast and resident comic book expert, Korean Kool…aka Mr. John Nance. The conversation takes a lot of twists and turns including everyone’s thoughts on 2022’s superhero films, Hollywood messaging, Morbius lore, meandering story elements, and immature vampire jokes. This episode as it all, which is why it’s longer than the film itself!
