Would you talk about a failed IPO that an investment bank adivsed on?

Would you bring up a failed IPO that an investment bank boutique advised on in an interview? Just curious if it's sort of a dick move or not? Personally think it's a cool conversation to know more details about what happened internally that the media doesnt mention.
