We're back with a discussion on a movie we have been meaning to talk about since we launched the podcast - The Cable Guy! This dark comedy stars Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick, and was directed by Ben Stiller.

  Zero Effect offers an interesting premise and moments of sharp dialogue but struggles with uneven pacing and a protagonist who can be more confusing than compelling!

Episode 21 features a very special interview with critically acclaimed singer- songwriter, novelist, painter, and fellow baseball fan extraordinaire Dan Bern. Bern's music has been compared to that of Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Bruce Springsteen, Phil Ochs and Elvis Costello. A prolific composer, Bern estimates to have written over one thousand songs. His music has been featured in Amazon Prime's award-winning kids program “The Stinky & Dirty Show” as well as films “Jimmy Carter Man From Plains”, “Get Him to the Greek”, “The Bubble”, “Zero Effect”, and “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story". Dan is also an inductee of the Iowa Rock 'n Roll Music Association Hall of Fame. An avid baseball fan, Dan has penned numerous songs about baseball many of which have been featured on "The Tony Kornheiser Show". He has also released two albums of baseball songs - "Doubleheader" (2012) and "Rivalry" (2020). Dan joins "The Case For" for a very special interview where him and Russell discuss a variety of topics including baseball lore, the Steroid Era, The BBWAA and Veteran's Committee Ballots, pitch-clocks, Steve Goodman, John McEnroe, Barry Bonds, Pete Rose and everything in-between including Dan's baseball songs. Dan even wrote a song specifically for the episode entitled "That's the List" which plays in its entirety at the conclusion of the episode!! 

The new film from director Jake Kasdan is Red One, now playing in cinemas, and itself a massive, expensive Christmas blockbuster film. On the flip side, he started his directorial career with a microbudget indie by the name of Zero Effect back in 1998. In this special episode of Film Stories, he takes his through his work. He and Simon talk about his blockbuster movies (Jake's, not Simon's), but also the indie film that got lost a little, The TV Set. Plus there's chat about the physical side of filmmaking, and a whole lot more... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of the show we are wrapping up our August deliberations about Ben Stiller in 1998 with a conversation about Jake Kasdan's Zero Effect. Over the course of our chat you will hear us bicker over whether this movie is a great gem or if it indeed has zero effect on the viewer, whether Jake Kasdan is a glorified nepo-baby and if Bill Pullman is as funny as he seems to be. We also talk about Sherlock Holmes energy this movie goes after, importance of stakes in a noir movie, Soderberghian vibes and more! Tune in and enjoy!

This week, we discuss two films connected to Sherlock Holmes. The first is Zero Effect (1998), a mystery comedy film written and directed by Jake Kasdan in his feature directional debut. Starring Bill Pullman as "the world's most private detective", Daryl Zero, and Ben Stiller as his assistant Steve Arlo, the film's plot is loosely based on the Arthur Conan Doyle short story "A Scandal in Bohemia". The second is The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (1970), written and produced by Billy Wilder and I. A. L. Diamond, and directed by Wilder. Steven Moffat and Mark Gatiss, the creators and writers of the BAFTA and Emmy Award-winning series Sherlock, credited the film as a source of inspiration for their show.   Timestamps What we've been watching (00:00:55) – Vigil Season 2, Frozen, The Remains of the Day Zero Effect (00:19:55) The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (00:54:50) Coin toss (01:34:30)   Links Instagram - @callitfriendopodcast @munnywales @andyjayritchie   Letterboxd – @andycifpod @donnchadh   Justwatch.com – streaming and rental links - https://www.justwatch.com Christopher Lee's Life Is Way Cooler Than Yours - https://youtu.be/5yPsa4PGVhc?feature=shared

Pattie was a little light this week but Bill has enough to fill in the blanks. Documentaries, cop shows, holiday fare, and an Oscar worthy film are all in store.And, if you have seen the series The Glory on Netflix and have been wondering if school bullying is as bad as that series makes it look, Pattie found a YouTuber who tells the stories of bullying that inspired the series. She's Rotten Mango, and her episode 2006 Cheongju Curling Iron Case - Real Story Behind The Glory is a really informative report.Reviewed this weekThe Worst of Evil on HuluBad Surgeon: Love Under the Knife on NetflixCandy Cane Lane on Amazon Prime VideoGenie on PeacockLeave the World Behind on NetflixAlso mentioned: The Zero Effect with Ryan O'Neal

This month we return to larger, more mainstream studio movies with our review of "Zero Effect," about a wacky, quirky, zany private detective (played by the opposite of wacky, quirky, and zany: the human cardboard cutout known as Bill Pullman) and his assistant, Ben Stiller, who dive into a mysterious case of blackmail and murder.

As we near the end of the millenium, a new influence takes hold of noir - Sundance-era American indies. Comedy, absurdism and heightened worlds begin to intersect with tales of crime and desperation. Our two films tonight both came out in 1998, and both show that influence. Zero Effect updates Sherlock with a post-Tarantino vibe, while The Big Lebowski sees the Coens set their own inimitable, endlessly quotable course.Recommendations:Tristan - Banshees of InisherinFred - Charlotte Wells: Laps, Blue Christmas, & AftersunWritten & Produced by Tristan Johnson & Fred PelzerA Strange Phantom ProductionMusic by Kevin MacLeod.Learn more about us or follow us on Letterboxd

In this episode I am joined by my pal Steven Hayes to talk about three quirky detective films: ZERO EFFECT, BRICK and BIG LEBOWSKI! Check it out!

This week on Open Sources Guelph, we catch up with old friends. Dinner with friends has gotten the former U.S. President into trouble again, and being a little too quick with the proverbial hickory stick has made a lot of people in China mad at their president-for-life. Guess we'll just have to make some new friends, and that's what we do this week as we interview another one of Guelph's new councillors. This Thursday, December 1, at 5 pm, Scotty Hertz and Adam A. Donaldson will discuss: Yeezy Does It. On the weekend, Donald Trump entertained some diner guests at his fake-White House/country club in Florida, rapper Kayne West and his new friend the white supremacist hate monger Nick Fuentes. Naturally, Trump claims to have no idea how West and Fuentes ended up having dinner with him, but how will this further escalate the growing anti-Semitic sentiment in the U.S. and North America? The Zero Effect. A fire at a residential building in northwest China sparked a string of nation-wide protests not seen in the Xi Jinping era, and likely not seen since the Tiananmen Square uprising in 1989. Why? The "COVID Zero" policies that seem to have prevented firefighters from saving lives in the fire because after three years, the policy is as harsh as it ever was. How did China let their COVID fight go so wrong? Saved By Michele. As we continue our formal introduction to the new Guelph city councillors, we come around to Ward 3 and it's interesting to note that this ward replaced their outgoing female councillor with the one female candidate who was running in the ward? We will also Michele Richardson about those great expectations, the new realities of Bill 23 and what to expect at her first planning meeting next week. Open Sources is live on CFRU 93.3 fm and cfru.ca at 5 pm on Thursday.

You were just going on vacation when you come across a dead body in your hotel room. The cops think that you're the murderer. While they're breathing down your neck, the real killer is getting away. Guess it's a good thing that you're a medical doctor who writes murder mysteries when you're not moonlighting as a private investigator. Josh, Adam, and Jason discuss the mystery genre where normal people have to step in for the police to solve the big mystery. The suspect list contains such films/TV shows as The Zero Effect, Nero Wolfe, Knives Out, Blowout, Lady in White, Confess Fletch, The Thin Man, just a fraction of the Sherlock Holmes adaptations, and much more. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/brickedpit/message

ZERO EFFECT takes the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle short story "A Scandal in Bohemia" and updates it in a 1998 comedy slash mystery from Jake Kasdan which Sidey loves and I had never seen before. Bill Pullman is tortured soul Daryl Zero; the world's greatest private investigator and a recluse who will only be represented in public by his long-suffering assistant Arlo (Ben Stiller). Together, Zero and Arlo have solved some of the world's most bewildering criminal cases, including The Case Of The Man With Mismatched Shoelaces and The Case of the Hired Gun Who Made Too Many Mistakes. When wealthy businessman Gregory Stark (Ryan O Neal) hires the duo to find missing keys to a safety deposit box, Zero uncovers a secret involving Gloria Sullivan (Kim Dickens), a paramedic with a mysterious past, whilst also finding himself slowly falling in love with her.Both the Downey Jr. SHERLOCK movies left me cold and beyond KNIVES OUT I would be hard pressed to name anything in this genre that's raised even a semi out of me recently so I'm probably not the best to review this because beyond the excellent opening 40 minutes where we are introduced to Zero and his world, I found the movie to be meandering and sometimes predictable during the actual mystery. A huge lack of chemistry between Pullman and Dickens doesn't help and the ending seems somehow both abrupt and overly long at the same time though Sidey will point to all the stuff that's good about it: the off kilter neo-noir aspects, Bill Pullman's magnetic performance, the pulpy mystery and surprising denouement so if you are a fan of the Sherlock Holmes mythos or the crime mystery genre and haven't seen this, you should absolutely check it out.   We love to hear from our listeners!

Behavioral Economics is an interesting field of study that yields insights into how we make decisions. With the Possibility Effect, Certainty Effect, and Zero Effect all producing unique conclusions into how people generally weigh different outcomes. This can help explain the hesitancy in utilizing more undefined-risk strategies, despite their impressive results over time.

ZERO EFFECT- A negative impact on your progress associated with inconsistency. Without consistency and persistence, it is difficult to maintain your momentum toward your goals. The impact of the Zero Effect comes from the exponential growth factor that consistency provides. If I do something every day, the first day I'll have some progress. If my starting point is at number 1, I'll be at some number greater than 1 (I call it “X” in the example below), whatever variable it is that I'm working on. Day 2, you get the exponential improvement, with that number X increased to the power of 2. You still get that exponential benefit on days 3, 4, 5, 6, and more, as long as you keep working on that sub-goal every day. What happens to people is that somewhere along the line, they think that their inspiration and persistent attitude are enough to keep going— and eventually, they forget. Their momentum is gone, due to what I call the zero effect.

Where Did All The Money Go - Trillion Plus Vaporizes With Zero Effect

This week, I was thrilled to welcome Washington City Paper film critic Noah Gittell back to the podcast for the first time since he joined me for an epic discussion last May on '90s duality in the films "Zero Effect" and "Fight Club." A reporter at BBC Talk Movies and a guest lecturer at Smithsonian Associates, Noah is also a freelance contributor at such notable outlets as The Atlantic, The Ringer, The Guardian, Polygon, and The Economist.In this fast-paced contemplative episode, he joins me to take a closer look at one of the most creatively fertile periods in the life of our favorite wild and crazy guy - Steve Martin. A comedian, actor, writer, director, producer, musician, magician, and Mensa level genius, Steve Martin is a man who has worn a number of hats throughout his fifty-plus year career but for the purposes of our conversation, we decided to zero in on Martin in the mid to late 1980s as he began embracing his career as an actor.From his supporting turn as a sadistic dentist in "Little Shop of Horrors" to his great ensemble studio comedies "Three Amigos!" and "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" to his surprisingly sweet, sexy, and sophisticated "Cyrano de Bergerac" adaptation "Roxanne," in this 52-minute discussion, Noah and I evaluate all sides of the Martin persona from the fully absurd to the downright horny.One of the world's most beloved entertainers you've heard discussed on Watch With Jen in past installments on David Mamet (for "The Spanish Prisoner"), Physical Media - Part 3 (for a new edition of "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles"), and '90s Romcoms (for "Father of the Bride") while this is our first episode dedicated to the actor, it's safe to say, it won't be our last.Originally Posted on Patreon (3/8/22) here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/63509809Logo: KateGabrielle.comTheme Music: Solo Acoustic Guitar by Jason Shaw, Free Music Archive

The Classic Film: Lake Placid (1999) "Three people attempt to stop a gigantic crocodile, who is terrorizing residents in Black Lake, Maine” (IMDb.com).

After watching 26 #NeoNoir films on #TheCriterionChannel Jim and Bill finally arrive at Part 5 of their journey. That's right, it's the final Neo Noir episode. Concluding this series of episodes, Jim and Bill first discuss Swoon, an interesting if somewhat dubious fit into the Neo Noir genre. Next Jim and Bill dive into John Dahl's 1993 sleeper hit, The Last Seduction, featuring a delicious (to put in Billy's words) performance by Linda Fiorentino.  With room to spare since Criterion left a big gap between 1994's The Last Seduction and their final entry, 2005's Rian Johnson Neo Noir, Brick, Jim and Bill provide several additional 90s Noirs you don't want to miss, including Zero Effect. Brick is the debut entry from Knive's Out's Rian Johnson, and it is an impressive debut to say the least. Johnson brings the Neo Noir detective world inside a high school setting, and there he utilizes all of the traits of the Noir genre and subverts them at every turn. Is it fun to watch high schoolers act as if they are inside a Raymond Chandler story? Yes. Yes it is.   Finally, a listener of the Neo Noir series suggested a new Neo Noir film as a pairing with Brick. 2020's The Kid Detective starring Adam Brody. Jim checked it out, and his take is it is a darkly comic Neo Noir that could very well be your next hidden gem.

Három olyan filmet mutatunk be (a hallgatóknak és egymásnak is), amiket kevesen ismernek, pedig érdemes lenne.

  This episode has dad sharing one of his favorite lesser known movies from the 90s:  Zero Effect.  This one stars Bill Pullman, Ben Stiller, and Kim Dickens who also appears in Lost.  This was a really fun conversation that goes into a ton of side issues about why we love film.  An amazing first effort from Jake Kasdan as a writer and director.  Dad always looks forward to what he's going to do next.

Twenty years ago on January 30th 1998, two cinematic characters who value their estrangement from the world presented the good and evil aspects of this lifestyle. In a modern retelling of Charles Dickens' GREAT EXPECTATIONS, Anne Bancroft takes out her heartbreak on two children who will grow up to be Gwyneth Paltrow and Ethan Hawke, while the world's greatest detective in ZERO EFFECT mainly just annoys his partner, much to our amusement. Maybe its being forced to read the novel in high school but we obviously lean towards the more comedic study of detachment as presented by Bill Pullman and Ben Stiller in Jake Kasdan's forgotten gem, but then again there may be something to The Florida Cinematic Universe starring Chris Cooper. Listen to our latest episode to see if we finally give this Dickens guy a break and follow at the links below: Facebook/Instagram/Twitter: @sobercinema

Twenty years ago today, Zero Effect was released in theaters. Ben Stiller & Bill Pullman gave wonderful performances and I spent all of my college years in love with Kim Dickens (something another reporter once told her at a roundtable to embarrass me). Back when I managed a family-owned video store, I used to recommend Zero Effect (directed by Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle's Jake Kasdan, btw) to customers so often that it made our 100 most-rented movies of the year -- IN 2006. We had to buy a bunch of extra copies. It was during that time that Zero Effect became my favorite movie of all time. Maybe not the BEST movie I have ever seen, but it's a great, fun, incredibly likable movie with some great, incredibly likable performances. In all those dozens/hundreds of recommendations to customers. I never once had anybody come back and say they didn't enjoy the movie. Five years ago, Chronological Snobbery did a really great job of looking back at Zero Effect's production. You can get a gorgeous (and fan-made) Zero Effect movie poster here. Zero Effect is available on DVD through the Warner Archive print-on-demand service. You can purchase it through third-party retailers like Amazon who will use the Warner Archive service to fulfill your order. You can also rent or buy it digitally. The film almost became a TV series. You can see the never-aired pilot, which starred Alan Cumming, here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBBaEijZwnY

This week, our critics can neither agree nor disagree: Tim is blissfully ignorant of the "Fast and the Furious" franchise -- he's only see the Tokyo Drift one -- and Will hasn't seen James Gray's "The Lost City of Z" yet. So they ask each other about each film, spoiler-free, so you can make your own decision. (But they're positive on both.) In their weekly Reboot segment, they head back to the late '90s to discuss Jake Kasden's "Zero Effect" and then go WAY back, all the way back to Gary Cooper, for 1958's "Man of the West." Timestamps: 4:00 "The Fate of the Furious" 21:25 "The Lost City of Z" 31:30 "Zero Effect" 48:12 "Man of the West" We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or griersonleitch@newrepublic.com. As always, give us a review on iTunes with the name of a movie you'd like us to review, and we'll discuss it on a later podcast.

This week Lee and Daniel continue an extended look at the crime/film noir genres, reviewing two films: 1973's "The Friends of Eddie Coyle" & 1998's "Zero Effect". Lee had never watched "Zero Effect" before and Daniel had never watched "The Friends of Eddie Coyle". Listen in and see what they thought about each other's picks for this week. Also covered: their guest from the previous episode, Jack Graham, spiking the shows downloads; anal leakage; listener comments, and what they've watched in the last while.

  Duncan and Bo turn their perceptive eyes toward two impressive detective films.  Duncan goes classic with Coppola’s The Conversation while Bo counters with the under-seen Zero Effect.  Can anything top Duncan’s classic from the 1970s?  Also, why is Duncan watching Adam Sandler movies?  And why does a ghost film turn into a time-travel move?  These questions and more answered on the latest Duncan and Bo Come Correct! The post Duncan and Bo Come Correct – Master Sleuths! appeared first on Legion.

It's Mystery Week! We plumb into the shadowy figures and devilish plots behind the 1998 movie Zero Effect and the 1997 novel Garnethill. We also discuss what we've been enjoying and look forward to next time when we'll be talking Alternate History.

The Cult Film Club is proud to cap off the Summer 2013 TAG Network crossover event by inviting our first guests, two awesome Classic Film Jerks, into the clubhouse to discuss the 1998 neo-noir flick Zero Effect!  We were graciously invited onto the CFJ show last week to discuss The Maltese Falcon, and so when we had Andrew and Michael in our place we figured what better way to bookend a look at classic noir than with one of our favorite cult mysteries.  Starring Bill Pullman, Ben Stiller, Kim Dickens and Ryan O’Neal, the film centers on Daryl Zero, who is by his own admission the greatest observer the world has ever known. One part objective observer, one part detective, one part master of disguise, one part deluded rock star, and a full on emotionally damaged, reclusive hermit, Zero (Pullman) is like a modern day Sherlock Holm-body, solving mysteries from inside his hermetically sealed apartment.  But his assistant, Steve Arlo (Stiller), has had enough, and for him the next case will be his last.  That case, the case of the missing tycoon's keys, proves to be much more complicated than either of them bargained for as they weave their way through a maze of blackmail, revenge, murder, and even a bit of romance. In the episode we talk about the idea of ditching "who don-its" for "why theydid-its", Pullman's magnetic and wacky charisma, being famous for marrying a poster model, and the all too certain comeback of the pager.  We take a closer look at the actors and then we all take turns recasting the flick for a more modern audience (and in one case retroactively for an 80s audience!)

Michael fell into film score composition by chance when The Greyboy Allstars were asked to score Jake Kasdan's first feature Zero Effect and worked on the music for the highly regarded (though short-lived) TV series, Freaks and Geeks.  In 2000, Richard Kelly commissioned Michael to do the soundtrack for the film Donnie Darko. Its original score album went on to sell over 100,000 copies (in part because of Michael's remake of Tears for Fears' song Mad World, featuring Gary Jules).  Michael has since gone on to compose scores for the movies Out Cold, Nothing, Cypher, Orange County, Me and You and Everyone We Know, The TV Set, a segment of Paris, je t'aime, Unaccompanied Minors, and Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story. More recently, Michael has composed for: Funny People, Bridesmaids, The Five Year Engagement, Cyrus and Jeff Who Lives At Home for The Duplass Brothers, and the upcoming film, The Reluctant Fundamentalist for Mira Nair.
