Less Than Zero 7: John Interviews AI / A Little Henry Chat



John Interviews AI
Inspired by covering text-chain generators and artificial intelligence in recent days, John has invited a guest, Cathy, onto the show in order to test her abilities and determine if it can pass for human. What he finds scares not only himself, but the very guest he’s interviewing. Will robots rise up and replace humanity? This interview holds none of the answers.

A Little Henry Chat
Henry is alone and dangerously anxious and sober. His ranting and rambling leads him to the path of the circular history – everything is repeating itself and there’s no way to stop it from happening. Might as well discuss some news items that he hasn’t a had a chance to cover on the show yet, just to get them out of his topic hole. All that, plus mild attempts at humor.

Episode 264: Coachella Fans Can’t Get Over How Shredded Danny Elfman Looks at 68



John is back from having Covid this week and boy is his mind just the Swiss-est of cheeses. Can he hang in there for our first inaugural 10-hour Marathon Episode? Probably not. The phones are still ringing folks, and they’ll keep ringing till the end of time. There’s nothing that can be done for them. We also have the latest hot takes on Joker 2: More Joker as well as whatever the heck John is on about when he starts ranting about Danny Elfman.

Episode 263: Jamie Hates Bad Comic Book Villains Who Are from Movies and Comic Books (Ft. Jamie)



It’s John’s birthday! But he came down with covid, so he isn’t here to celebrate. Instead, we bring back a guest host we haven’t seen since reality split that one time. Does she remember what happened back then? No. She does not, because that wasn’t her. Instead, please enjoy the comedic stylings of Jamie as Henry and Jamie navigate some headlines (and their marriage) to get to the bottom of why all the villains are getting movies and sequels. We’ve got that and a little more, right here on Zero Credit(s).

Episode 262: [Morbin’ Intensifies] Morba Lisa



The internet is an all powerful but ultimately all dumb force. Through sheer memery and willpower of bad jokes alone, Morbius is seeing a second life. After smashing through the box offices without picking up so much as a couple of loose pocketfulls of change, Morbius is being re-released in 1000 theatres all because the algorithm doesn’t understand irony. We didn’t know this outcome when we were recording, but we nailed what was going to happen – jokes reviving a dead god no one wants to worship. Also John has a story about an elderly woman and the Mona Lisa. We’ve got those things and more, this week on Zero Credit(s).
