We review the new Netflix political thriller Zero Day: an insane blender of every recent cable news paranoia - Havana syndrome, sundowning Presidents, Russia-gate, online extremism, J6, cyber warfare, executive overreach, “fake” news, “enhanced interrogation,” Epstein suicide, and scheming tech oligarchs all referenced here - into one bizarrely star-studded mess.

Slopped up in my 👂🏾 hole

jer

Yeah dude

Jeremy

MATT! Hell yeah!

gyogyogyo

whos this new matt guy?

Ross McWilliams

There's a Gabriel Byrne movie called Defence of the Realm were he plays someone called Nick Mullen.

sandman

Maybe deniro was cooking with his acting job, acting so sleepy

Rory

I'm inspired to write some stupid slop tbh I could write a terrible metal gear knock off show and sell it to Fubo Plus

Kalle Söderberg

Were the first words out of Christmans mouth "Oops I crapped my pants"? That rules

Ana

Listening to the Sex Pistols when you're high on heroin sounds so goddamn awful. Dude deserved to OD for that shit.

Michael S. Judge

AOC would for sure do American Gray Wolf shit for the privilege of losing to JD Vance in 2028

Yarblockos

Movie review episodes are the best

Reed

Love hearing my hero Matt christman

Joshua Garcia

Denver mattress company has an advert featuring a dippy female president who doesn’t understand the details of their sale. I don’t get the motivations.

Cale

I went almost 4 decades without hearing who killed Bambi? I could’ve gone four more

Tim O'

"You were in Meet the Fokkers, who cares" was amazing

Zach H.

I was really hoping the ending to Zero Day would be that it was a program started by brain melted Joe Biden stand-in President DeNiro and he forgot about funding it

Matt jbg

The Christman has risen again!

Liz

hi matt 🩷

Kyle Cassidy

It's a movie about being gay with your KGB honeypot dad.

drizzly_november

Enough time's past for Aaron Sorkin to bring back The Newsroom in a limited series covering the events of 2020. Jeff Newsroom & co. take us from the killing of Suleimani to the first inklings of a certain respiratory virus in China, to the lockdowns, to the Black Lives Matter protests, to the election - finally culminating on January 6, where Jeff gives a takedown so blistering it retroactively saves American democracy. Please Mr. Sorkin, our nation needs this to heal.

GnarlyRaeJetson

Haven’t listened yet but how did they even manage to make it past the first 30 minutes of this show?!?! It was so fucking boring

nick

Is Eephus the movie that chapo was been working on in some capacity?

Warbs

I can't get over thinking president Nick Mullen could have been the best set up for a guest intro ever.

Jack Ross

I will die for my country Matt Christman

T

Yes. It was my most anticipated movie of the year even before I knew Chapo was producing it

Synney

Felix is right about the battle between daughters and mothers. my mother has taken me to court. we’re still best friends though

justdave

Meet the Fuckers

owen

Wow, my best friend as el presidente…dreams do come true

Demented Avenger

Slotkin probably was following politics during the Eighties. I'm a year older than she is and I can actually remember Election Day 1980. I was a big Jimmy Carter fan at age 6 and wept. You know, I was a nerd, a loser, some kid who wasn't gonna get laid in high school no matter how much I drank. Slotkin has to have been like that, except a hot dog heiress.

CW54

Jake from TC🫡

Chris

Matt's stroke opened up a new skill tree. He is dumping XP into self-deprecating brain damage humor and becoming incredibly powerful

Demented Avenger

Liberals think conservatives are dumb, which is true, but think they just have a comical level of idiocy. Instead, liberals should just take away the specialized things they learned in college and be really aggrieved, and they'll have conservatives. You know, only slightly less dumber than they are, and angry to the point where they might do something about the liberals mocking them for being dumb.

drizzly_november

President Mullen wasn’t hiding his son from the world… he was hiding the world from his son.

EVIL PLANET

"only slightly less dumber"

EVIL PLANET

Funniest part was when they laughed at the idea of conservative news hosts spending ridiculous amount of airtime talking about former presidents. Is that really so ridiculous? Right wing news hosts do that constantly!

Oliver Elliott

On a similar note, I think the better movie here is that Zero Day was some US op gone comically wrong and DeNiro is the senile idiot appointed to investigate precisely because he’ll never figure it out.

Travis

Felix begins speaking at 32 seconds

Doug Cartel

SO HANG ME UP TO DRY YOUVE RUNG ME OUT TOO TOO TOO MANY TIMES

Woody

A Guardian article described it like radical centrism vs regular centrism

Doug Cartel

"There are so many characters that dare you to remember who they were" SUCH A LUST FOR REVENGE

Zach H.

Like Robert Mueller

Bobby Lasers

Isn't this the plot of die hard 4?

Chas.

Matt sounds healthy as a horse!

Peanut Horse

Did anyone here see Mickey 17? I wanted to hate Mark Ruffalos trump character but his stupid “rock on” stance kept cracking me up, he was good in that movie

buttface

Felix knows next to nothing about human women

Liquidated Damages

Slotkin’s Cold War kid bit is 1:1 how I like to aggravate millennials by saying I was a 90’s kid (Born in 98)

T

Felix mentioned Jack Benny, and I can't recommend Jack Benny enough. His shows are the funniest media of all time, and not just funny "for its time". The only reason you haven't been seeing constant reruns of his TV show your whole life is that it's got Cum Town humour and Lucky Strike ads are woven into everything. You can listen to his radio show like a podcast anywhere. Start in the 1940s so the audio quality will be OK.

NYCM&AHole

“Keep on truthing in the truth world”

NYCM&AHole

Yeah but the jeepers creepers kid lived in that one.

ggmacd

the anti-conspiracy monologue where deniro threw in "the 1%" reminded me how this genre loves speeches that start with a grab bag of "chem trails aren't real, the moon landing wasn't faked, no one is turning the frogs gay" etc. but then often bury something like "oh yeah i bet you think the CIA consistently allies with heroin cartels or that George HW Bush giggled about the JFK assassination in a public address" just to show you the wide span of their contempt.

Richard Cochnar

Matt’s Meet the Fockers joke killed me

T

Lucky Strike MEANS fine tobacco.

Yevka D

really thought that was darren from WKUK playing tucker

Tea for the Tillerman

We need to mandate our DeNiros RTO. Get him on location somewhere without access to bluefin tuna.

Damen Irving

Prez sez: I’m gay, and so is my dad

Damen Irving

No, this sounds like if Aaron Sorkin wrote the centrist version of the turner diaries

Danquol

Thinking about the most recent episode, the zero hour review, it should have ended with the denero figure presiding over his daughter’s execution. Like Marcus Junius Brutus the Elder, but the movie didn’t have the balls to go there

Damen Irving

The turner diaries if you didn’t believe in anything

Son of El Topo

My wife's friends invited us to a boardgame night, but when we showed up they said they wanted to watch a movie instead. "you'll love it" they said. It was Dirty Grandpa, probably the worst thing I've ever watched. I lost all respect for DeNiro after watching that pile. Just awful. Anyway we never hung out with those people again after that.

Chapo Bath House

Oh god, my dad's going to get way too into this

Jeremy

Yeah it’s actually supposed to be really excellent. I also really liked Christmas Eve in Miller’s Point which Carson Lund was the DP on.

Jumbles Yang

The AI Matt voice is pretty good. Almost sounds just like him

I.P. Freely

Felix and the DSA uncs passing non-binding resolutions calling Hugo Chavez a dictator 💀

Chapo Bath House

Jesse Plemens was so good as a psycho in Breaking Bad bad because he has a round friendly baby face. Casting him as an unsettling guy and giving him an unsettling face is just putting a hat on a hat

Reece Coren

“america’s stupids” is my new favorite phrase

Hick Rhodes

Wait did Chris shout out American painter, musician, and radio personality Jake Longsteth at the top of the show?? I mean… Jake go on Chapo.

Kevin C

Ill admit i want an honorable bipartisan president who will rape tucker carlson to death

Robert Armstrong

Matt out here showing John Fetterman how it's done.

markers

Talking over the intro on a cold open? It's a bold move Cotton, but will it pay off?

Chris T

Great episode

Corey Reynolds

Almost every time Chapo does a review of a terrible tv show(Ted Lasso, Tulsa King, etc) within a month a friend or family member will tell me how much they love said shows.

JDF

“I don’t mind people who phone it in” — Cmdr. Li Jiabo, PLAAF

Jon W

Who was in charge of this sound editing? My God... pure cacophony

JDF

Impossible to google

Hick Rhodes

Chapo since you saw this, a Jake Longstreth Noah Kulwin episode about the Grateful Dead would rule. Someone explain how one of their two lyricists went on to run Dick Cheney’s campaign.

james

I’ve NEVER heard talk over the intro music in my entire tenure at Chapo… things are getting crazy!

Sheep

Not the Motherbox refrence emerging from the Chrisman oracle 😭

DR

Risible Felix pronunciation in this one.

Ozzie

Always happy to hear Matt! Speaking of, are book orders still shipping? Never saw any updates on the signed copy I bought.

Chris Wade

Still one last batch of 270 signed copies to go out. Had to go from manufacturer>me>matt to sign>me>logistics company>you so it’s taken a minute. BUT, hopefully back to logistics co like next week then on to you!

Noah Mingus

It was a zero day attack; Nick Mullen has to deprive everyone of their civil liberties now.

Ozzie

Nice! Thanks for the update

Marc Silverstein

This is the closest we will get to the release of the 9/11 commission report. BTW. Evan Green = Jackson Hinkle??

Dec

Is this how I find out I’ve been saying Moleskine wrong.. :((

K'dot Phonk

President Nick Mullen?? Also, I'm gay.

Jon

Felix feeling his oats now

Paul F. Holzfäller

President Mullen is too weak and scared to have me abducted in the middle of the night. He’s also too much of a moronic pussy to duct tape me to a chair and enlist no less than six men to take turns having sex with my head.

delle_chiaie

inclined to point out that havana syndroming one's dad is also classic bitch daughter behavior

Scheming Eunuch

Matt on champion form this ep 💪💪💪

Podcast subscriber 78

Felix will literally be like “ah yes, truly an ignominious end” and then two minutes later, “this reeeallly was collaberal damage.”

Danquol

That would actually be a very fun movie

Mitch

Commonwealth Edison was shutting the power off at my parents house during the financial crises when I was 12 and that somehow had less impact on me than Alzheimer’s Reagan existing did on slatkin

Danquol

That’s a fair point. I guess I was speaking to a broader frustration that politicians (mostly conservatives but lots of liberals too) want to larp like they have these great values and convictions when they really believe in nothing, except getting re-elected and keeping their deluxe healthcare. They want to seem like the institutions are sacred, but when it’s their own kids on the line, they pardon them like Biden, rather than impartially applying the law like the Roman politicians they larp as would

Mitch

That’s Interior minister Nick Mullen to you!

Agent Grange

Now THIS is scratching the itch of old This Is Sus and Time for My Stories now that Matt is back. On that note, Chris-- PLEASE reupload the old Time for My Stories!

Oliver Elliott

I feel like in some ways max liberal looney was when so many of them were immediately convinced that Russia blew up the Nord Stream pipeline. Something that makes no sense in any way but was purely a product of preexisting conspiracy thinking.

THEKILLERWHALE

Good god no. This podcast is where pronunciation goes to die.

buttface

settle down it ain't that serious

Jack Frayne-Reid

President Mullen's dead son is literally called Nick lol

Latour DeFrance

My copy got lost in the mail. They said they are working on it so fingers crossed I’ll eventually see one show up!

James Phipps

This episode is worth a decade of Patreon payola. The phrase “Netflix slop” kept ringing in my ears as I sat too stoned to stop each Next Episode. So stoned I thought Fake Tucker had Hasan’s politics. I had thoughts: https://boxd.it/8VcLyv

T33ny

Matttttt

T33ny

The other day a guest said the Mule-ler Report instead of Muhl-Ler..and Burismo instead of Burisma

T33ny

It seems on the patreon ep. its always horrendous. Wouldnt be my first time offering to fix it

Paul larkin

Yo, IATSE Local 52 set dressa ova here. I worked on this shitty production doing overnights in the city. They had me setting up fake homeless encampments next to real homeless folks shit and then at wrap I'm tryna figure out what's what, it was wild.

Hunter

Im a RWer but can I just say this is the golden age of chapo. Very refreshing in a time where rightism has become a big chungus cringe fest.

Gordon Schmidt

Look, we all read the Vanity Fair piece that came out earlier this year. We KNOW Chapo is starting to get involved in the movie business. So why the FUCK isn't Push Poll in pre-production???

Gordon Schmidt

The president had to resign because of his son's podcast

Beehive Fucker

they shot him in the brain with the Havana syndrome gun but it only made him stronger

justdave

MULLEN FOR PRESIDENT!

jonah :)

i love a right wing chapo subscriber thats hilarious

Rxk Lenderman

Felix drank his coffee this episode

Andrew Cross

Alex jones swings wildly between the funny shit where he flips out, or just months and months of boring nothingness

Hugo

Is Felix back in NYC?

Nathan

Thank you, hunter Biden.

Special Adeline

All mothers and daughters actually are like that, you don't have to pretend differently

Kevin C

Yeah he moved back sometime last year

Patrick Allen

Nobody’s perfect. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Matthew Dunn

Or Escape From LA when the president was going to kill his daughter.

Savannakhet

"The Great Podcast Swindle"

Tyler Sutherland

day XYZ of Felix and now the rest of Chapo being insanely red, mad, and nude online because AOC has power and real friends and they don't

Amos Happ

Yeah no, Tenpole Tudor was, is, and always shall be legend.

Shiv

funny; this ep made me want to watch the show (high)

Shiv

we are the 80%

Eli

Show fell off

Joseph

Agreed, they need to start saying the r word a lot more. Don’t they know comedy is legal now?

Shane Baker

This sounds like “Designated Survivor” with Kiefer Sutherland. Where he plays an even more soy Jed Bartlett style centrist President who has to pull the country together after every judge, congressperson and the Pres and VP die in a 9/11 on the state of the union. Vast right wing conspiracies and terrorists and political rivals turned into besties abound.

buttface

This shit isn't worth $5

C. Andrew

if AOC has power to act, why has nothing significantly changed? Why does she completely tow the DNC line? It's almost like she has very little power.

Hudson

They’re gonna miss it when you unsub

Sam Ray

Is "Sodas" in pre-production?

Hudson

Lmao, drunk the shitlib cool aid much ? Whatever. On the world stage, AOC and her slimy political ilk are a fucking footnote. Happy delirium though.

C. Andrew

Felix was taking his Alpha Brain supplements for this one, I haven't laughed that hard in a while. I hope the workers at the Smile Factory get a good Christmas in July bonus this year.

Robert Littlejohn

Why can't AOC be red, mad, and nude online instead 😮‍💨

dumb bupp

famous pro-union actor Robert DeNiro, avoiding unions to build wildflower studios

Bryce Chambers

The evil version of this is Mamet's Spartan.

J L

bro paying $5 a month just to hate

plastiq33

Nick Mullen would have won

S

Matt sounds great!

S

Eat shit and die!

Sharvex

We are so back America...

Scott Grabel

Borrowing from American Dad, “Be Good to Yourself” by Journey would make a good heroin song.

Chubby Justin

I really hope people bookmark this crap and throw it back in the face of these shitbirds that get on their high horse about human rights in Russia, China, or Iran. Nobody in America should be allowed to talk about human rights in other countries anymore while this shit goes down. China went softer on HK protestors than the NYPD vs. Columbia U protestors. This can't be memory holed.

Zack Burke

Trueanon heroin song intensifies

Sean G.

I like how the characters are carelessly flitting between NYC and DC multiple times per day (or night?) with seemingly no issue at all

Eamon Short

With uncle magic we can win the age of consent wars

ex-cantaloupe

What?? MATT?? MATT IS FUCKING BACK OH MY GOD YES!?!!
