Did you know Chuck Norris destroyed the periodic table because Chuck Norris only recognizes the element of surprise? Or how about this. Did you know Chuck Norris can drown a fish? That’s right! Chuck Norris makes his debut on Not a Bomb, the podcast that reexamines some of cinema’s biggest bombs. This week, we discuss two of the most unique Norris films - 1992/1993’s Sidekicks and 1995’s Top Dog. Not A Bomb welcomes back fan favorite - Jose! Chuck Norris, like many 80’s icons, had a difficult transition into the 90’s which makes discussing these two films so fascinating.
