Episode 325: Best/Worst 2023



Dread it, run from it, the end of the year happens all the same. Was 2023 a good or a bad? It’s time to deliberate and find out, the only way we know how: through the arduous task of Best/Worst. For nearly 3 hours, we will debate the best things of each category in order to derive some sort of meaning from them.

Thank you all for a great 2023, see you in the next one!


Supplemental Reading: Godzilla Minus One (2023)



Every so often, a movie comes up from the depths and stands 30 stories high without much fanfare or marketing and completely levels your expectations. This is one such movie. Godzilla Minus One is a love letter to the storied franchise and so much more. Listen to some of our deepest dives yet as we try to surface what makes this movie so good.


Episode 324: Sorry, Norman Lear



It doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it’s awkward. Norman Lear came up during our bingo update (only a few weeks left), and now he’s gone. I’m not saying we caused him to go, but the timing is very odd. So, we’re sorry, Norman. Maybe if we kept your name out of our mouths, you’d still be here. Also this week: Panera Bread?! That and less, right here on Zero Credit(s).


Supplemental Reading: The Fast and the Furious (1954)



What if we told you that the first Fast and Furious movie was not the first Fast and Furious movie, but an even older entry in the franchise, not only exists, but haunts the very electromagnetic spectrum waves that inhabit our internet? Well it’s true, buddy, and buckle up, cause this is a wild and crazy ride of 1950’s values. Directed and starring John Ireland, this movie is…something. Let’s explore it together, right here on Zero Credit(s).


Episode 321: Mucinex Christmas



We’re back! After a month long hiatus (wait…what are all these uploads…), we are back to discuss some crazy goings on. New, weird speakers of houses. Crazy side effects of TikTok. And an almost-to-the-end Zeit-bingo update from John. All of that and a little more, right here on Zero Credit(s).

Episode 319: Double Double Trouble Trouble “Ship O’Theseus”



The Frightentimes continue as we dive deep into a cave to find…ourselves? Doubles are inherently frightening and we discuss why that is in a true return to form for the old days of the show. That and a ton of horror reccs, right here on Zero Credit(s).
