Episode 266: #pissmanvatar

Zero Credit(s), , , ,

John returns to the podcast to help Henry get to the bottom of this new Avatar movie only to crack open the largest well kept secret in Hollywood: James Cameron’s secret agenda that he’s been carrying out over the length of his career. Not much more needs to be said, but John does introduce the concept of GentleMinioning only for it to get banned by theaters the very same day. This is an all-timer, folks, if you only listen to one episode of Zero Credit(s) this summer, make it this one, right here on Zero Credit(s).

Episode 265: Jeff is Here to Make Us Happy (ft. Jeff)

Zero Credit(s), , , ,

John is away for business this week, so Henry has tapped deep into the Zero Credit(s) reserves to scrounge up a guest. Friend of the show Jeff (@Gifsaidwrong) is here to bring us cheer. What delightfully fun topics does Jeff have for us during this very awful, no good, pretty bad time? There’s only one way to find out, and that’s by listening to Zero Credit(s).

Less Than Zero 7: John Interviews AI / A Little Henry Chat

Less Than Zero, , , , ,

John Interviews AI
Inspired by covering text-chain generators and artificial intelligence in recent days, John has invited a guest, Cathy, onto the show in order to test her abilities and determine if it can pass for human. What he finds scares not only himself, but the very guest he’s interviewing. Will robots rise up and replace humanity? This interview holds none of the answers.

A Little Henry Chat
Henry is alone and dangerously anxious and sober. His ranting and rambling leads him to the path of the circular history – everything is repeating itself and there’s no way to stop it from happening. Might as well discuss some news items that he hasn’t a had a chance to cover on the show yet, just to get them out of his topic hole. All that, plus mild attempts at humor.

Episode 264: Coachella Fans Can’t Get Over How Shredded Danny Elfman Looks at 68

John is back from having Covid this week and boy is his mind just the Swiss-est of cheeses. Can he hang in there for our first inaugural 10-hour Marathon Episode? Probably not. The phones are still ringing folks, and they’ll keep ringing till the end of time. There’s nothing that can be done for them. We also have the latest hot takes on Joker 2: More Joker as well as whatever the heck John is on about when he starts ranting about Danny Elfman.

Episode 263: Jamie Hates Bad Comic Book Villains Who Are from Movies and Comic Books (Ft. Jamie)

Zero Credit(s), , , , ,

It’s John’s birthday! But he came down with covid, so he isn’t here to celebrate. Instead, we bring back a guest host we haven’t seen since reality split that one time. Does she remember what happened back then? No. She does not, because that wasn’t her. Instead, please enjoy the comedic stylings of Jamie as Henry and Jamie navigate some headlines (and their marriage) to get to the bottom of why all the villains are getting movies and sequels. We’ve got that and a little more, right here on Zero Credit(s).

Episode 262: [Morbin’ Intensifies] Morba Lisa

Zero Credit(s), , , ,

The internet is an all powerful but ultimately all dumb force. Through sheer memery and willpower of bad jokes alone, Morbius is seeing a second life. After smashing through the box offices without picking up so much as a couple of loose pocketfulls of change, Morbius is being re-released in 1000 theatres all because the algorithm doesn’t understand irony. We didn’t know this outcome when we were recording, but we nailed what was going to happen – jokes reviving a dead god no one wants to worship. Also John has a story about an elderly woman and the Mona Lisa. We’ve got those things and more, this week on Zero Credit(s).

Episode 261: Movies Are Too Long: Part One

Zero Credit(s), , , ,

It’s Friday and you’re looking forward to the weekend. You have nothing planned, so you’re looking forward to just relaxing at home, maybe doing a little yardwork, but nothing serious when your phone pings. Your heart sinks as you read over the notification. It’s the government backed cultural department. You’ve been selected for this weekend’s mandatory viewing of the new Marvel movie to help stimulate the economy and prop up the failing movie industry. The requisite $25 ticket price has already been deducted from your account. You consider skipping out anyway. They already have their money, right? But you don’t want to have to deal with appearing in court to contest the noncompliance citation you’d incur. So you go to the movie. How bad could it be, right? Just a couple hours of mind-numbing entertainment starring people with all the free time in the world. You sit in the dark movie theatre, a bowl of government issued pop corn in front of you ($15 deducted automatically from your account) and watch as the title drops. Avengers: The Longest War: Part One flashes on screen along with the FCC mandated run time listed very tiny in the bottom right corner. Your heart sinks further as you read 1 Day, 23 hours, 30 minutes. Chris Pratt appears on the screen and laughs. You know it was probably in the script for him to laugh, but it feels as though he is laughing at you, you poor, poor fool.

We continue our trend of covering huge movie franchises this week by diving straight into a couple of Fast and Furious related updates that are sure to not grate on you. You all love hearing about Vin Diesel every week, right? Right. We also promise and eventually deliver some Star War news that is sure to excite or perplex or whatever. I think we did a pretty okay job of it, too. It’s all right here, right now, on Zero Credit(s).

Episode 259: Eat Gruel or Do Excel

Zero Credit(s), , ,

After being mad and screaming all last week, it’s time to dial things back a bit and just vibe. Little influence from current news, little influence from our lives, mix it up and just vibe and see where we end up. Has the cultural landscape evolved beyond the scope that allowed Game of Thrones to be the tour de force that it was? Let’s discuss how our lives have been changed and shaped by technology so that we’re just little islands for wave after wave of content to crash into. This is Zero Credit(s).

Episode 258: Everything Sucks and We’re Mad

Zero Credit(s), , , , ,

Lots of things to be mad about, and only 1 hour, 12 minutes to be mad this week. Henry and John are charged up with rage this week at the very, very dumb things that are happening. A leak of a supreme court decision draft, the content of the leak, and of course, Fast and Furious news are all just rubbing us the wrong way. Hope you like hearing people be mad.
