Description

Go Speed Racer, Go Speed Racer, Go! That’s right folks! On this episode of Not A Bomb Podcast, the gang tackles the 2008 sports/action film - Speed Racer. Based on the anime/magna of the same name, Speed Racer is known as one of the biggest movie bombs of all time. To help Troy and Brad discuss such a colossal cinema failure, Sammy, from Gentlemen’s Guide to Midnight Cinema comes to the show. Speed Racer is brought to the big screen by the visionary directors - The Wachowskis. Following the success of the Matrix trilogy, The Wachowskis took over the troubled production at the request of Warner Brothers Studios and producer Joel Silver. Sadly, the film failed to start and never had a chance at the box office. Critics did nothing to assure anyone other than 12 year old boys that they would enjoy the film and the movie lost close to $100 million. Oh wait, is that Shaft and the dude from Ninja Assassin?!?!?!?!Speed Racer is directed by The Wachowskis and stars Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci, John Goodman, Susan Sarandon, Matthew Fox, Benno Furmann, Hiroyuki Sanada, Rain, and Richard Roundtree.If you want to leave feedback or suggest a movie bomb, please drop us a line at NotABombPod@gmail.com.
