Welcome back to Not a Bomb! This is the podcast where we claw into cinema’s biggest box office cat-astrophes and decide if they deserve a second life. We’re feline pretty proud to be celebrating five years of batting around cinematic flops (the cat puns are just beginning, folks)!
The Catwoman episode from Not A Bomb sounds like a glorious descent into the litter box of superhero cinema. Directed by Pitof (yes, just Pitof), this 2004 disaster ditched DC’s iconic Selina Kyle for a leather-clad, basketball-playing Halle Berry—who somehow went from Oscar royalty to dodging CGI cats and shampoo-fueled villainy in under two hours. The film couldn’t use Batman, Gotham, or any recognizable lore, and yet it still managed to purr its way into infamy.
But leave it to Not A Bomb to find the silver whisker in the furball. With Jose from Watch Skip Plus bringing his signature energy, Troy suffering existential dread, and Brad unleashing a barrage of feline puns, this episode promises to be a riot. Whether Catwoman is a misunderstood gem or just a cinematic hairball, the debate is worth the listen.
If you’re ready to hear grown men meow through movie trauma, this is the episode to curl up with.
