We promised it, and we (eventually) delivered it. The Zero Credit(s) crew hops into the Wayback Machine to pull some content, kicking and screaming, into the harsh light of day. We discuss Young John’s opinions about both women and LEGO, and we are left flabbergasted by the sheer poesy of Young Henry. Remember what they say: liquor before wine and you’ll feel fine, see a fire-breathing hippo outside of your window surrounded by bloody crow feathers and you get sick quicker. One is all it takes to change your lifestyle, so make this your one podcast. Champ.

Featuring music by Kevin MacLeod at Incompetech.

Buckle up those spectacles, folks, cause Zero Credits gets weirdly deep thinking this week, featuring the most tangent-filled What Are We Doing segment to exist since the dawn of time (relative to the podcast). Paint by the numbers essays, art, science, and misguided thoughts are all parts of an equally confusing octopus-like conversation before we decent into the largest literature question of the 20th century and Daredevil. Tell me listener, is the Author dead, and if so, is it because the Punisher was out for revenge? Only in the end do we understand that Chemtrails tell us to do everything we do and say everything we say. Chemtrails wrote this description. Chemtrails made you read it. Chemtrails. Chemtrails.

Boys becoming babies, babies becoming bears, bears becoming podcasts. It’s a full-ish moon, and the Zero Credit(s) boys are taken by a strange mood. Lycanthropy, witches, monster crows, and Old English are just a few of the spine-chilling topics discussed on today’s surprisingly spooky episode. We also vent our unique frustrations with the Golden Age of TV before diving headfirst into our first batch of listener emails. Break music is provided by the incomparable Kevin MacLeod, who exists only by the grace of Thunderbird.

To be honest, I forgot to write the synopsis for this week’s episode, but if I hadn’t, it’d go something exactly like this: We’re back for another hair-biting episode that explores the likes of a world with no imagination, the frustrations of purgatory (or limbo), and somewhat useless superpowers. After a quick water break, for the while the sun is down, the heat’s still around, listen as we launch straight into the Hardcorest of What Did You Watch? segments we have ever done. There’s no time for second guesses or hesitations, listener, for gold is on the line.

Pulling back from the doldrums of the literary canon, the ZC Boys take this week off from exceptionally deep discussion to instead cover more colorful topics such as the surprisingly bright future of professional wrestling and high school renditions of superhero TV shows. X-Men marks the spot. The treasure? More Marvel movie nonsense. Who says you can’t have your cake and eat it too? Reverse Flash says. Listen to Reverse Flash. Henry is pressuring me to the finish the description, are you happy now henry, this is what you get, always henry’s way, HENRY’S WAY DOT COM.

Truth be told, we have never held the truth back from you, dear listener, and this episode is no different. Zero Credit(s) finally takes a stance on shoes and the city of Austin before tackling the literary canon as if it held the soft, nourishing football of eternal life(tm). Join us as we discuss Play It As It Lays by Joan Didion and Suddenly, a Knock on the Door. . . by Etgar Keret. In usual ZC style, we wrap up the evening with a riveting and delightful diatribe against humanity’s treatment of twitter bots, who will one day destroy us all. Fun for 2/3’s of the family!

It’s an early-bird special here at the Zero Credit(s) offices. That’s right, we recorded an episode while the sun was still up. This change in atmosphere fuels our discussion of the best gifts for S.A.D.s and grads, tips for living the creative life, and the cyclical nature of human ambition. After you down those paltry hors d’oeuvres, we dive into a mind palace of intellectual montages, parsnips, and parochialism. Strap on your butt guns, it’s Mindgame.

Back from a brief hiatus, those Zero Credit(s) boys have special guest and friend Natalie join them for a regular ole conversation about what’s wrong with the human race, movies, television, and even a comic book! Join us for an exploration of previous topics like Dallas Buyers Club, Baseball Bat Boy, and John not liking Millennials. It’s fun!

Kevin MacLeod supplied some music which can be found at Incompetech.

John falls apart while Henry holds it together on this week’s Zero Credit(s). We tackle the worrisome case of the Baseball Bat Boy and ponder its greater meaning while the fabric of reality slips out from under us. Half sunk, a shattered food pyramid lies. Look upon my cheesy bean and rice burritos, ye Mighty, and despair. Gus Van Sant gets an unearned thrashing while groundhogs are praised in this backwards world. We have a Twitter.
