Here we stand on the precipice of the end. Fast X. The second (or third) to last movie. How does the Louis Leterrier directed, Justin Lin written movie fair? How does Jason Momoa stack up to the all time great villains of the Fast Saga? And most importantly, where does Fast X come in for the rankings between Henry and John? All of these questions painstakingly answered, right here on Zero Credit(s).

In 2020, a man had a vision. Car go space? Justin Lin was assigned the task and boy, does he ever technically deliver. But is the 9th installment of this time-honored franchise a good entry into the official canon of American muscle cars? Only time will tell, folks. Only time will tell. Until then, here’s our hastily rendered opinions based on vague memories and feelings of sitting in a theatre without the ability to take notes!

Supplemental Reading: Fate of the Furious

September 21, 2018Supplemental ReadingCars, Charlize Theron, Dominic Toretto, Dwayne Johnson, Fate of the Furious, FFCU, Finale, Jason Statham, Kurt Russell, Letty Ortiz, Ludacris, Michelle Rodriguez, Roman, Taj, Tyrese, Vin DieselZero Credits

In 2017, a series had a vision. To bring an end to everything it had been building for the past 16 years. That series was the Fast and Furious Cinematic Universe and this is that end. With a new director in F. Gary Gray and the same ole Chris Morgan blood pumping through its veins, this movie sought to be what no other FFCU movie could be. Somewhat decent. We’ve seen the highs, the lows, and the lower lows, but for the first time we experience the upper middle. Characters emote more than they ever have before. Enemies become quipping, babysitting friends. And Roman fulfills his destiny. All of these moments and more, we discuss in this Supplemental Reading as we bid the FFCU adieu.

Until next time, friends. See you in 2019.

Supplemental Reading: Fast Five

September 1, 2018Supplemental ReadingBrazil, Cars, Dwayne Johnson, Fast Five, FFCU, Gal Godot, Ludacris, Paul Walker, Safe, The gang's all here, Tyrese Gibbons, Vin DieselZero Credits

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. Everyone you’ve ever loved. All the cars you kind of tolerate. And even new friends and foes in the form of Dwanye Johnson, aka the only thing missing from the previous movies. Buckle everything up. It’s five types of fast and it’s all for you.

Episode 92: Shmaylights Shmaving Shmime

March 16, 2018Zero Credit(s)Black Panther, Cryptocurrency, Daylight Saving Time, Happiness, I Got Them Hoes, Kendrix Lamar, Ludacris, Pray for Me, The Fast and The Furious, TimeZero Credits

It’s that time of year, folks. Flowers start to bloom. Birds unearth themselves from their underground nap. And most US citizens suffer from the mass delusion that physically moving time forward an hour is worth it because…??? Seriously, name one legitimate benefit from moving the clocks ahead an hour. My mom used to say it was for after school activities, so that there’d be light out for football practice, etc., but school let out at 2:25 pm so that never made sense and neither did she. I think it’s the highest time to stop falling for this social experiment of a garbage fire and abolish Daylight Saving Time.

Also discussed: South by Southwest, Musical Paradoxes in Movies, and Advice on Not Seeking Happiness. But seriously, it’s mostly the DST thing. Also a note, the episode is about twenty minutes shorter due to last week’s monster of an episode. Equivalent exchange and all.
