Welcome back to Not A Bomb podcast! This is the show where we examine some of the biggest bombs in cinematic history and see if they deserve a second chance. On this episode, we are excited to welcome back Michele Meek to the show and discuss 2021’s comedy-drama - Licorice Pizza. Written and directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, Licorice Pizza failed to recover its modest budget of $40 million but did manage to snag a few Academy Award nominations. This period piece has stellar performances, brilliant direction, and a few controversial storylines. As usual, Michele brings her unique perspective to the episode and asks some incredibly interesting questions about Anderson’s storytelling choices. Is Licorice Pizza a bomb? Is the core relationship between the leads too controversial for mainstream audiences? Does the film deserve a second look? Listen and find out! Licorice Pizza is directed by Paul Thomas Anderson and stars Alana Haim, Cooper Hoffman, Sean Penn, Tom Waits, Bradley Cooper, and Benny Safdie.
