We’re in it folks – that time of the year when legally we should be able to just coast but the world keeps turning and asking things of us even though they won’t get done well into the new year. What do we do with wasteland energy? How do we weather this desolate landscape? We don’t have the answer, but we’ll sure talk about it at length with no real conclusions. The only good news in this maligned time is that Spider-Man isn’t going anywhere folks. We’ve got that and a little less, right here o...

Well, this is it. The end of the podcast (in November). Yep, after all this time, we’re finally at the end of our recording sessions (that take place in the month of November). What a way to go out, too. We’ve got so much (not) hard hitting news stories to cover, like a funny misunderstanding on Fox News and the anniversary of the death of Quibi. Let us all take a moment to reflect on what we’re thankful for and say goodbye to Zero Credit(s), once and for all (we’ll be back in December).

As the nights grow long, the need for content grows stronger. To that end, we’re here for you with the latest in the ongoing feud between Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson. That’s right, every update, we are here for you to dive deep into every little detail and talk way too much about it. We also have some local Austin news that made waves on the internet in the way of a new academic institution. All of that, plus jokes about the Venomverse right here on Zero Credit(s).

The sleepover over, it’s time to get back to business and cover what’s going on in the world in all its bad glory. The once-thought-canceled Morbius movie has a trailer and release date now, all but solidifying the Venomverse as a thing that exists. Texas is stirring in the news as it tries to ban every progressive book dating back to the 1960s. Political dog whistle inside jokes are becoming mainstream for some reason. And there’s some exciting Garfield news. This is a jam packed episode, so I ...

Published author Andrew Gretes joins us to cap off a season of spooky summoning to discuss in finality what to do about Brad, the difference between writing and being a writer, and the nature of the things we talk about here on Zero Credit(s). Also discussed, a final verdict on what demons and people who have been to hell think about Chris Pratt voicing Mario in an ill-begotten Super Mario movie and the greater implications of ducks. Happy Halloween from everyone here at Zero Credit(s).

Our third demon guest of the season pays the ZCPC boys a visit to alleviate some of their Brad woes. Why won’t he notice John or even acknowledge that John exists? Sigh. Jellies and Jams abound as we learn even more of the demon world of hell and all its cultural differences before getting to know our demon guest on a personal level. Laughs and learning, the world keeps turning. I don’t know why I said that, but we’ve got that and more, this week on Zero Credit(s)!

The sleep over continues and woes of Brad fill John’s mind. Why won’t he talk to John? It doesn’t make any sense. With thoughts of why, we summon our second demon of the season to get to the truth of the matter, only to find that the truth might be tricky than we thought. Lies abound as well as the eternal origin and fate of all camels on this week’s episode of Zero Credit(s).

The month-long sleep over is finally underway, and with the movies watched and the age-appropriate drinks drank’ed, it’s time for the first of four witching hours to commence. Henry and John have a deep need to get some answers from the spiritual world. Is “pick” short for “plectrum?” This is how we find out – by summoning demon Jeff, who’s had to get a job in hell due to the economy. Do demons know things? What do they know? Let’s find out.

Gather ’round and hear the tale of the cryptocurrency hamster, a mythical creature that can day trade crypto better than the indexes or even Warren Buffet. Yes, Mr. Gox, the cryptocurrency trading hamster is our greatest attraction today. But that’s not all! Nintendo’s stirring up some internet news with the announcement of their hand-picked cast for the Super Mario Movie heading to theaters Holiday Season 2022. These are the topics of the day, but get ready, for the night is fast approaching…

The Emmys happened this past weekend and boy are there things to discuss. I’m taking a mental health day, so there’s not more I can say than that lol.

We’re back on track with Henry at the wheel for this week’s episode of Zero Credit(s) and the first stop is Taco Bell. Henry’s never had Taco Bell before, and John’s very interested in talking about that. Is the Crunch Wrap Supreme too dry, or Henry just a failure at eating Taco Bell? The world may legitimately never know. Then it’s on to the big question of the week – Will Austin City Limits Music Festival actually happen? We’re one month out and the special event permit has yet to be issued by...

Henry’s having a tough week at work, so John’s in charge of the content for this episode. See if you can spot the difference! Several weeks ago, John made a promise. The context being he might be a super-taster, he promised to taste a Nintendo Switch cartridge. Well folks, he finally makes good on that promise. Will John taste anything at all, or will he taste literally the most disgusting thing he’s ever tasted and have it linger in his mouth the entire episode? There’s only one way to find out...

Henry and John are back from the beach and boy are they tired. A beach, a pirate ship, and a cave of sexy ladies serving frozen drinks are just a few of the things they experienced, but now that they’re back, it’s time to tackle some real news. Jeopardy’s newest host and most recent executive producer has been fired, but what led us to this point? Henry’s got the full timeline of events to unpack and tear apart while John won’t shut up about the Twilight saga. It’s all here, and even more than y...

When we recorded this episode, OnlyFans had just announced a ban on adult content on their platform. Since the recording of this episode, they have announced a reversal of that ban. So what we have here is an episode recorded in a timespan of banned content and the implications of what it means for those content creators. Try not to shout “NONE OF THIS IS TRUE” at us too much, as we realize the content is no longer valid already, but it’s too late to go back now. We also discuss some of the more...

We thought we’d seen it all, but it turns out, there’s always more gas in the tank. That’s right, F9: The Fast Saga has more secrets to unveil in a planned director’s cut coming soon to DVD and Bluray. What does the existence of a director’s cut mean for the Fast and Furious coverage we’ve done so far? We don’t know. We really didn’t expect something like this to happen. We have this, plus Henry and John fight about moving to a different country to raise children for some reason, this week on Ze...

We’ve got some BREAKING NEWS this week, as we interrupt your normal episode description to let you know that this week’s episode BREAKS some news every segment. That’s right, we’re back in the Zero Credit(s) News Network Studios to bring you all the latest and BREAKING news from last Tuesday. A newcomer to the sonic movies is making waves. A mystery star and company will never speak to each other again. A politician has landed in some spicy water. And the most powerful musician of all time uses ...

We’re continuing our serious deep dive into current news events by pivoting to the underbelly of the gaming industry this week. Activision-Blizzard has been in the news a lot lately, but what’s really going on? In this episode, we take you through the major events day by day to hopefully show a complete picture of what’s going on with this lawsuit and the evil corporate actions therein. Also there’s some mouse talk. We have it all here on Zero Credit(s), this week on Zero Credit(s).

We don’t mince too many words this week – yes there’s some goofs and jokes and bits as always, but really, deep down I think what we’re trying to say is, if you can get vaccinated and wear a mask, then it’s time do so to protect those who can’t for whatever valid reason. We’ve got people to protect and stopping the spread is the only way to go about this. No one’s going to step in and save us this time (is our prediction), so it’s up to those of us who can do something. There is no politics. The...

Billionaires are going to space and Tunes are going into cyber…space? I guess? We deconstruct and drag everything happening with space lately in this episode to save everyone the trouble of doing it themselves. Ya’ll have bigger things to worry about than which dick in a dick shaped rocket doesn’t actually go to space or whatever.

Heading into this week’s episode, we had no content and things looked bleak when a shining statue descending from the heavens and nominated a bunch of actors, directors, writers, production people, etc., for awards. So I guess let’s talk about that forever. It’s the annual Emmy nominations episode right here, on Zero Credit(s).

We’ve got an exciting new addition to the Zero Credit(s) family line of products today as we introduce the OLED Model. Now with a crisp 7in OLED screen, you can enjoy our audio-only podcast in a much brighter setting. Also included is a wired LAN port so you can listen to the podcast on the stay without all that pesky buffering. Also included is a Fast and Furious themed game corner and the latest update of our far-flung future franchise – the Venomverse.

In 2020, a man had a vision. Car go space? Justin Lin was assigned the task and boy, does he ever technically deliver. But is the 9th installment of this time-honored franchise a good entry into the official canon of American muscle cars? Only time will tell, folks. Only time will tell. Until then, here’s our hastily rendered opinions based on vague memories and feelings of sitting in a theatre without the ability to take notes!

After a year plus delay, the time is finally here – Henry and John are going to see the next installment of that time-honored film franchise that is Fast and Furious. But first, let’s check in on Quibi and get lots of things wrong about how podcasts work. It’s all right here, on Zero Credit(s).

In 2016, manga and anime creator Hideaki Anno had a vision to bring Godzilla into the modern age with a brand new movie. This is that movie. But at the end of the long hot days of Hot Godzilla Summer, how does this Japanese revival stack up to the American versions we’ve been talking about for the past 10 weeks? It all finally comes to end, right here on a Zero Credit(s) Supplemental Reading.
