Episode 198 - Phantoms

Not a Bomb

Welcome back to your favorite podcast about some of the biggest bombs in film history! In this week’s episode, we dive into the eerie world of “Phantoms”, a supernatural horror-thriller released in 1998. To assist in this underseen classic (?), the guys are happy to welcome Sammy from the GGTMC back to the show!

When a small town in Colorado is mysteriously wiped out, leaving only a few survivors, they discover an ancient evil lurking beneath the surface. As they unravel the chilling secrets, they realize they are facing a force beyond their comprehension.

Despite its intriguing premise and star-studded cast, “Phantoms” failed to resonate with audiences. Listen as we discuss whether it deserved its fate at the box office. More importantly, we spitball ideas for the buddy-cop film, “Skeet Heat,” starring Skeet Ulrich and Jamie Kennedy. Also, it that our own Brad Anderson in this film or Ben Affleck? It’s impossible to tell!

Phantoms is directed by Joe Chappelle and stars Ben Affleck, Peter O’Toole, Rose McGowan, and Liev Schreiber.
