Zero to Zero

Well, we did it! We made it to the end, all of us safe and sound. The Zero to Zero podcast hosts are all alive and well, at least. We can't necessarily say the same for the characters of The Flash (2023). We've reached the end of the goofiest and bloodiest DCEU movie we've ever watched for this podcast. Did we like looking at it? No. Was the story brilliantly written? No. But did we have a good ti...

After a normal period of waiting since the last episode, we have made it to part 2 of the Flash. We learn all about this whacky weird world that Old Barry Prime has found himself in, and it turns out everything is mixed up! Eric Stoltz played Marty McFly?? Tom Cruise played who in what?? And on top of it all, there's no metahumans in this version of the timeline! Giga, Sam, and Val brainstorm how...

They said it couldn't be done! They said it shouldn't be done! Sam has been dragged back kicking and screaming to once again watch a bad-looking movie: The Flash! Is this the worst-looking movie we've ever watched? Possibly! Should this movie exist? Absolutely not! Let's all grit our teeth and try to tolerate two simultaneous Ezras Miller as we investigate the mystery of the 100 CGI mothers and th...

Supaidaman is back on the scene, ready to kick some ass! But only the asses of specific people who he finds worthy of the effort. This week Giga and Val talk Season 1 Episodes 3 and 4, featuring a truly bug-eyed monster and merman premonitions. Val | Gigalithic Twitter | Cohost

After 400 years, Val heard the telepathic messages Giga has been sending out, asking someone to watch the Spider-Man tokusatsu with them. So here we were! Two out of three of the old gang are back together to watch some more superpowered goofiness, and Spiderman (Japanese)(1978)(TV show) does not disappoint. This show is like taking a ride on the back of a superspeed motorcycle, AKA sick as hell!!...

Well, we finally finished Mystery Men, and the movie didn't get better since last time. In the third act, the Mystery Men gang do a mega whoopsie daisy and superkill the superhero they came to rescue. Oh no! Now it's up the them and their Chekov's Tank to defeat Casanova Frankenstein at his Frankenstein Casa. The hijinks that ensue can only be described as "not actually funny" and "improv'ed whole...

Watch out, here he comes! The racism man is in town and really went bananas on the script for Mystery Men in this part. But that's not all, the movie also does some peak aughties humor that only guys who are NOT gay can pull off. Stay on the lookout for really, really funny jokes such as when a woman, or when a skunk humps someone's leg. It goes on for a long time. We also meet some new characters...

Zero to Zero returns! That's right, everyone is here, Giga, Val, and... Jo??? The gang talks about the first third of the critical darling, 1999's "Mystery Men" starring Ben Stiller, William H. Macy, and Hank Azaria in only his second most problematic role that I can think of. We meet our heroes, villains, antagonistic other heroes, Tom Waits, who is horny for octogenarians, and much mor...

At long last, we have completed this ridiculous project of ours! The Bladetastic Era of Zero to Zero has come to an end, and nothing could be more appropriate than the trash ending Fant4stic gave us. The Fantastic Four finally team up for the first time in this movie, but will it be better than their single team attack in the 2005 movie? Well, it depends if you even count this one as a team attack...

We don't have to watch Blade: Trinity anymore! We may never know what really happened behind the scenes that led to this movie being such a disaster, but one thing we know for sure is that it made us sad. We'll always have "suckheads". Join us next week to find out if the third act of Fant4stic is any better than the third act of Blade: Trinity, a question nobody has ever asked before! S...

Part 1 of Fant4stic was kind of surprisingly okay, so they decided to take a hard left from generic action-adventure into tragedy and body horror! How will we ever get back to funny prank montages now? More importantly, how will Doctor Doom be the villain? I wish I knew, but unfortunately I'm no expert at pattern recognition!

We're in the second act of Blade: Trinity, and we've learned some things about this movie! Did you know? Dracula wasn't supposed to be in it! Good luck to us trying to make sense of the plot with that in mind. Meanwhile, Wesley Snipes was supposed to be in it, and allegedly he is! Sometimes! Against all odds, we wish we were watching Fant4stic. Sam | Val | Gigalithic Twitter | Cohost

What's up, wig watchers? It's time for a movie that's been hanging over this podcast for a long time: 2015's Fantastic Four, AKA Fant4stic! It's a more interesting movie than any of us expected, although that does not mean it's good! Victor Von Doom has his highest ever APM (accents per minute) but will it be enough to defeat the Fantastic Four? We'll find out eventually, when they exist! Sam | Va...

Well, we knew it was coming! This week, we're starting Blade: Trinity and the rumors were true. Folks, it's not as good! Wesley Snipes clearly doesn't want to be here, and Sam clearly doesn't want Ryan Reynolds to be here. We've got an ill-defined group of villains digging up an ill-defined bigger villain, so thank goodness for Wikipedia to help us out there. Eh, it's fine. As long as nothing happ...

We were warned about the ending of Rise of the Silver Surfer, but nothing could have prepared us for just how terrible it is! Why are the Fantastic Four such a terrible team? Good thing Galactus wasn't in this movie, because they'd have had a real hard time dealing with him! Hey, where'd Doctor Doom go? The ocean? Well, bye, I guess!

Movies are back! We finished Blade II, and it was basically good again! After a somewhat boring second act that was mostly guns and swords, we finally get what we come to Blade for: intrigue, character arcs (alive to exploded), badāsse one-liners, and guns and swords. Let's dive into the blood pool together and be rejuvenated. Bring some tissues and razor blades just in case! Sam | Val | Gigalithi...

We're back for more Rise of the Silver Surfer, and the misogyny is getting worse and worse! Did they literally forget that Sue is a scientist? Can she contribute anything to the story besides being Reed's hot girlfriend? Well, maybe after the Wedding of the Century, she'll finally become Reed's hot wife. That's right, it didn't even happen and it's still the only thing the news wants to talk about...

We're back in Blade II this week, and it's an action-heavy second act! Almost everything that happens in this viewing is one of two long action sequences, and we're not entirely thrilled with it. It's still a better woman than Catmovie, as they say, but it's not as good as Blade, as they also say. On the bright side, we're intrigued about the intrigue, so hopefully the third act will be good! Sam...

It's time for the movie of the century! We're starting Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. So far, it's got all the worst qualities of Fantastic Four, with none of the charm! Our precious Stan Lee is here, of course, but they threw him off the roof for confusing reasons! Jeez! They can't let us have anything. Sam | Val | Gigalithic Twitter | Cohost

This week, we debut our new names as we begin watching Blade II. It's a ridiculous movie full of blood cocaine and guns, and no, I didn't forget a comma there! Hey, I bet Blade would really like the Silver Surfer! That guy could fly through all the vampires and kill them instantly. I wonder if he would be a good fit for the Bloodpack? I guess we'll find out next week! Sam | Val | Gigalithic Twitte...

Hey, look at us finishing movies two weeks in a row like a normal movie-watching podcast! Never mind how long ago we started them! This week, we finished watching Fantastic Four. A lot happens in the third act. Victor von Doom becomes Doctor Doom. The Thing becomes Ben Grimm. The Human Torch becomes [editor's note: fill in his character arc here when you remember what it was]. Most importantly, Mi...

It took two full months, but we have finished Blade at last! It's an unsurprisingly great third act, complete with some extremely cool one-liners and more blood than you could possibly drink. The final battle was with the villain of the movie! Imagine that! They just don't make 'em like this anymore, folks. Good thing there's two more where that came from! People like both of them, right? Sam | Va...

Act 2 of Fantastic 4? Geez, if I wanted to look at all these numbers, I'd go to a library and look up numbers in a book! But it's true, we did watch Fantastic 4 again. There's not a lot of superheroism to be found in this part of the movie, but there is some exquisite supervillainy and enough montages to make a montage of montages. And, perhaps most importantly of all, 🎵 reet teh da may bada reoo...

Oops, we're back! We got so scared of Thing from the Fantastic Four that we slipped and fell off the Brooklyn Bridge and weren't able to record an episode for over a month. Finally, we're back to watch Blade again! What was happening in this movie again? I don't remember. Stream Chinchin by Bang wa Cherry. Sam | Val | Gigalithic Twitter | Cohost

Alright, I don't think it's a stretch to say that things got a little heated during our previous discussion of Blade. We got a little worked up because of how much this movie rocks, and we all said some things we regret. There's no reason to force a ridiculous format change on our podcast just because it feeled funny at the time. The important thing is, as long as we're all having fun, we're all t...
