One of the Zero Credit(s) boys is celebrating a birthday, much to the other’s chagrin. Also, Rest in Peace Bob Barker. We’ve got some box office chats and discussions of the silicon valley city of tomorrow, all right here on the last episode recorded in August. May the upcoming months be much cooler.

In a surprise nice weather weak (read: it was under 100 degrees for one day), the boys meet to discuss: the retirement of Mario-voice Charles Martinet, a new special drink that John is All About(TM), and the legal ramifications of non-human authors. We’ve got all that and more right here on Zero Credit(s).

It’s another hot one, but this time it’s cause we have so much hot, hot content to cover. The Blind Side, Michael Burry, a weird drink that John goes in depth about for some reason – we’ve got it all PLUS a 2023 bingo card update, right here on Zero Credit(s).

The heat rises this week and the ZC boys’ brains are a’cookin’. The title makes this episode sound way more elegant and sophisticated than it really is.

The heat is on, but not much else is – so what are the Zero Credit(s) boys to do? Hmm. This is a tough one. It’s 105 degrees. John has AI woes. It’s 105 degrees. Light bulbs have been banned. It’s 105 degrees and it’s August 1st. That and more, right here on Zero Credit(s).

Finally, two white guys in their 30s weigh in on Greta Gerwig’s Barbie (2023). We know you’ve been clamoring for our thoughts and here they are. We tried to not talk about Ken too much (and failed) while also tackling the larger themes the film explores. Also we only saw the movie once before recording this.

SPOILER ALERT: This episode contains spoilers for: Barbie (2023).

Music:

Writing show notes unfortunately would break the picket rules. So would doing episode art. So instead, enjoy these random words: SAG-AFTRA, WGA, STRIKE, PICKET, MOVIES, TELEVISION, TIKTOK, NPC MOMENT, ETC.

The Internet as it was, is no more. Barbenheimer completed their research, resulting in a new social media bomb, one capable of destroying 1000s of Twitters. Or something like that.

Barbie and Oppenheimer are just around the corner, but until then it’s Twitter vs Meta, Elon vs the Zuck. All that and more, right here on Zero Credit(s).

It’s a solo Henry venture this week – get ready for an OceanGate wrap up, Elon vs Zuckerberg, and a full Choose Your Own Adventure game. All that and less, right here on Zero Credit(s).

Underclocked – Underclocked Remix

This episode has aged poorly, but it happened so it’s still going up. Orcas attacking yachts. CEOs cutting corners. More things I can’t remember, all right here on Zero Credit(s).
