Episode 204: Disney Marvels at All This Zack Snyder News
Look, it can no longer be denied. Zack Snyder is going to save cinema with his cut of Justice League. We all thought it was going to be Christopher Nolan’s Tenet, but that film was a false prophet that dragged cinema down into the dirt. Only Zack Snyder can pull off the movie event of the decade, neigh, the century to singlehandedly save the movie going experience. But no story is complete without a villain, an antagonist to stand in the way of our intrepid hero. Enter Disney, a media conglomera...

Supplemental Reading: Better Luck Tomorrow
In 2002, MTV productions took a chance on Justin Lin and let him direct what is now a cult-classic coming of age story based in Southern California. Justin Lin would go on to direct episodes of the cult-classic Community before moving on to more mainstream projects such as Fast and Furious: Tokyo Drift and doing such a great job that he’s been entrusted with bringing the franchise to an end. It all started with this little movie right here, the first canon Fast and Furious movie (although techni...

Episode 200: The End of the Time Thing
After a month of hopping through time at the behest of the Zeitgeists, those perky time ghosts of old, the Zero Credit(s) boys are finally back together in the Victorian Manor they call home.

It’s the 200th episode of Zero Credit(s) and boy do we have p...

Episode 199.Supplemental Reading: Fast Five 2
In 2011, a man had a dream. A dream to create the best action/car/heist movie of all time set in Brazil, using an already established franchise and characters people already knew. Unfortunately, Hannah Barbara would not give up the rights to Speed Buggy, so Justin Lin had to fall back to The Fast and Furious Franchise instead. For fun, he brought along Chris Morgan, writer of the previous film, for a lark and knocked the entire movie out of the park. It’s all here. Then, in 2018, two men thrown...

Episode 199?: Normaltimes
Everything is normal in this perfectly normal episode. We haven’t let the perverts come in with their twisted notions of what should be happening this time of year and ruin everything. Not here on Normal Credit(s). No way. In this normal episode of Normal Credit(s), we’ve got a pretty good and normal time for you all, as long as you aren’t one of those perverts who wishes everything were spooky and dire all the time.

Supplemental Reading: Bloodshot
Valiant comics may not be as well known as your run of the mill DC or Marvel comics, but they still exist and with Marvel being over and DC being…DC, Valiant Entertainment is in a prime position to take over the superhero space with their particular brand of superhero. To kick things off we have Bloodshot, starring Vin Diesel, Eiza Gonzalez, Guy Pearce, and Winston from New Girls. Will this origin story turned action adventure thriller be good enough to launch an entire cinematic universe? Well,...

Episode 198: TERF Wars
If you’re looking for something other than JK Rowling discussion, I guess you could like watch Bloodshot in preparation for next week. Cause this week, it’s all JK Rowling stuff surrounding the release of her new book that she publishes under a man’s name, but we still all know it’s her. I thought the point of a nom de plume was to be anonymous, not known to be the other person. Why keep up the charade if everyone knows it’s you? I don’t get it, but then again, I’m just an intern here at Zero Cr...

Episode 197: Boperade AKA John Loves When the Titanic Sinks
Management here. Henry’s going through some things, such as screaming alone in a room. Because of this, he did not do the following: tell the intern to right a description of the episode, come into the office all week, shower, create an episode title. As such we, Management, have taken over these duties. Please enjoy our perfect attempt at nailing the Zero Credit(s) brand: John hates the Titanic. Music: Boat Parade Nick Lutsko

Episode 195: DC Flightdome Batsimulator 2020: The Synder Cut
The first annual (?) DC Fandome event happened last weekend, and boy were a lot of heroes happy to hear the news, including two young, intrepid, but mild-mannered podcast hosts with no special qualities whatsoever. That’s right, our heroes, the Zero Credit(s) boys are here on the scene to give you all the high-flying, fast-shooting action of DC Fandome, at least for everything that was not just a trailer for a movie, because Henry does not watch trailers and John did not watch the event.

Episode 193: COVIDisney+
It’s not as though we set out each episode to talk about our current thoughts of the ongoing health crisis here in America, but it’s like, how can you not talk about it right now? Apologies to our fams in other countries who have dealt with it in a reasonable and professional manner, but the US is just shitting the bed with COVID on a daily basis, and that can be a tough thing to deal with day after day. On a lighter note, there’s no way in hell you’re going to catch me dead paying $30.00 for t...

Episode 192: Twitchin’ for Content
As we enter 2023 AC (After COVID), there is no entertainment left. Gone are the days of the unfinished but uplifting documentaries on Netflix. We are past the re-airing of old pilots by major cable networks. The days of the re-airing of shows canceled after one season is also past. Nothing is left. There is no hope. No distraction from the virus waging war on unsuspecting, bored individuals. Suddenly a voice rings out in the darkness. “Hey guys, here I go streaming again.” It is Ninja, the most...

Everyone remembers the anti-crime dog with the trench coat and the sordid, checkered past, but did you know he also has an album where he tells people not to do drugs?

Episode 188: We Can’t Stop Talking About Quibi
The more we learn about this absurd streaming service, the more it makes sense. There’s some sort of morbid, magnetic attraction to finding out just why the streaming service that caters to people watching on their cell phones failed. And for the most part it’s obvious. Cause it’s a streaming service that caters to people watching on their cell phones. But how did we get here? How did we get to the point where Quibi is a reality? That’s what we keep discovering and when we discover more of that,...

Episode 187: Time for a Quiupdate (Quick Quibi Update)
In the continuing series of bad things happening, there comes a moment when they keep happening. The Zeitgeist is not a series of closed off events separated by time. It is a nebulous flow of never ending ghost energy that permeates everything we do, think, and say and to that end, we got a bunch of updates of things we’ve already talked about. JK Rowling’s back, as is Quibi, and the 512 Pecan Porter flows like water. Come take dip in our smooth pecan info blasts. This week on Zero Credit(s).
