As we roll merrily along down the stream of Lezze Le Bon Temps Summer, we find ourselves back in da Bayou and this time, the monsters are real.

Grab some beignets and let’s find out, right here on Zero Credit(s), cher.

Let the good times continue to roll as we extend Lezze Le Bon Temps Summer with our coverage of Werner Herzog’s Bat Lieutenant Port of Call New Orleans, a movie with a clunky title but smooth, smooth action. Does Nic Cage’s performance and a slew of bad decisions save what could otherwise be a run of the mill movie with a so-so plot? Find out, right here on Zero Credit(s).

We had back to New Orleans to hunt some man for our coverage of Hard Target, an action thriller set deep in the heart of the deep south as part of our lezze le bon summer series. Jean-Claude Van Damme, Lance Henriksen, and the guy from the mummy who plays the mummy all combine with legendary director John Woo to create some good ole fashioned violence. How does this movie serve the city of New Orl...

Henry got sick, so the episode didn’t get uploaded in time, but here it is! Our deep dive into High School Musical for your ears and brains to enjoy.

Continuing our Dark Journey through the Dark Universe, we come across Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man (2025), a tragic horror tale (tail?) of a man wronged by a wolf man.

We’re back this week with a Don Bluth special served up to us by our good dear Fam Ashley.

Find out, right here on Zero Credit(s).

With the pirates sorted, it’s back to our Build-Your-Own Dark Universe Cinematic Universe coverage with Abigail, a comedy/horror film starring Dan Stevens (and others). We’ve already picked it for the DUCU by covering it, but does it earn its place in those hollowed halls? Only time will tell, right here on Zero Credit(s).

Done with the movies, we turn hard port to starboard toward what lies beyond the horizon: THE RIDES, ALL THE RIDES! Disneyland, Disney World, Disneyland Tokyo, Disneyland Paris, and Disney Shanghai all have a pirates related ride and we are here to dissect them and rank them amongst each other as requested by you, the fams, as part of our series on The Pirates of the Caribbean. We’re off to...

Well, we’re finally here at the last Pirates movie, hat in hand, begging for the final one of these movies to redeem the franchise and reward our time spent watching every single one of these movies in full. Will that happen? You know the answer. Right here on Zero Credit(s).

Well, we finally made it to a Pirates movie neither John nor Henry had seen before and boy is this one a doozy. Can Jack Sparrow carry a movie on his own? Will the best thing about these movies continue to be the Geoffrey Rush of it all? Only time will tell, I suppose, right here on Zero Credit(s).

Well, here we are at the end of the pirates trilogy. After this, there will be no more pirates movies. Crazy right? How far we’ve co–wait, there’s two more? Ugh, fine. We’ll do those, too. Right here on Zero Credit(s).

Back onto the high seas with we, as there be more pirates to see! We continue our foray into the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise with the second film of the series.

Find out right here on Zero Credit(s).

Arrrgh, dear fams, the time is nigh. You voiced it, we heard it, the pirates are here and it’s time to delve into Davy John’s locker for the plunder that is a Supplemental Reading of this fan-favorite film franchise.

It’s time to continue our own Build-A-DUCU Experiment with 2020’s The Invisible Man, written and directed by Leigh Whannell. Does this psycho thriller of a woman (Elisabeth Moss) tortured by a rich ex-boyfriend (some guy) earn its place in the DUCU, or are the connections  hard to see? Find out right here on Zero Credit(s).

Continuing our coverage of the Dark Universe, we veer off the road into a helicopter and tackle two burly men who eat Steroid Pancakes for breakfast. Yes, this has nothing to do with the Dark Universe, nor does it have anything to do with the FFCU. Instead, enjoy Henry and John day tripping off to Hawaii to talk about their daddy issues. Will James and Jonny Hale bring the promised buddy cop comed...

It’s time once again for a regular ole episode, one covering all the happenings of the annual Big Game (don’t sue us). Henry and John hit the gridiron to tackle the highs and lows of the evening including an overview of the game, a deep dive into the halftime show, and of course a step by step data point dissection of those time-honored and most beloved commercials. Will Big Game 60 go...

Continuing our coverage of the Dark Universe, we dive head first into the Mummy (2017) with Tom Cruise, Jake Johnson, and others. Will we unwrap the mysteries of why this movie failed to launch the Dark Universe proper, or fall victim of the Mummy’s curse and have to kiss her? Is Tom Cruise or Russell Crowe the better actor? All of these questions and more considered, right here on Zero Cred...

Drew from the Marvel’s A.C.E. is here to deliver some expert martial arts analysis for Jackie Chan’s latest film The Shadow’s Edge, a remake of 2007’s Eye in the Sky.

Join Henry and John as they descend into the camp what makes vampires, right here on Zero Credit(s).

Happy New Year, Fams. We’re kicking off 2026 with a deep dive into the latest Knives Out Mystery by Rian Johnson with a smattering of plans for the rest of the year. Does Wake Up Dead Man live up to the Knives Out name, or will it be buried under the full weight of the Church? Find out right here, on Zero Credit(s).

Well it’s that time of the year once again. We tabulate whether the year is a good or a bad via 10 spot checks into the Zeitgeist. Movies, Video Games, and Television kick us off into seven randomly picked categories submitted by you, the dear fams of our show.
