Blast Zone: Movies That Bombed
It's not a podcast about bad movies. It's a podcast about movies that did badly. Join comedians Jon Drake (@drakegatsby) and Ian Dukes (@ianpauldukes) as they dig up the bombs that shook Hollywood. Every episode reviews a movie that lost money at the box office and tries to figure out what went wrong.
