So just over a week has passed since the epic conclusion to the HBO series Game of Thrones. So in the latest episode I'm joined by my brother Cory, and friend Christina. We discuss our initial reactions to the finale and how we felt about the series overall. I don't think there will ever be another show quite like Game of Thrones. It was truly cinematic groundbreaking television. TV has changed period, so much craft is put into now. With services like Netflix, Hulu, and AmazonPrime people love binge watching. Gone are the serial story format, some shows just feel like one long movie. You now get television shows with huge A-list cast and talent, some could argue the medium is surpassing the movies in terms of quality. It's going to be interesting to see what the lasting impact a show like Game of Thrones will have. Especially since it had already turned into a pop culture phenomenon long before the 8th and final season aired. So what were your thoughts on the finale and the series overall? Also in the episode is my 2nd political spotlight, this time on Bernie Sanders. I hope this helps if nothing more at least gives you the person that you want to look into and learn what their policies are.

Episode 10 Money Talks
May 19, 2019
My brother Ricky joined me to kick off his very own podcast dropping tonight! So in this episode we discuss his podcast, which is centered around finances! In this day and age and in the black community especially it's important that we build our wealth. I look forward to listening and watching Rick's videos and shows, that tries to simply financial matters that can help everyone when it comes to personal finance. Also as the 2020 Presidential election nears, it's time to take a look at the candidates that will be taking on Trump.

Episode 9 Saving Our Women
May 12, 2019
It was months ago that my wife shared a video with me, that was done about a woman named Kira Johnson. Her husband Charles Johnson was on capital hill advocating for a bill that would help, and protect expecting mothers. He's started an initiative 4Kira4Moms that advocates for better maternal care. He lost his wife due to negligence by the hospital she was being treated at. Sadly it's not an uncommon issue, especially for women of color. A friend of my Christina reached out to me on Facebook, with her own bad healthcare experience, and thought it would be a good topic for the podcast and I agreed. Tied into my family's experience with my sister Nikki, there is a problem with women's healthcare in this country in general. The problem is even more prevalent for non-white women in the United States. So Christina joined me shared her story and we discussed why we think this is, and what we can do to try to help the women in our community.

Episode 8 Who's Number One?
May 5, 2019
Finally back to doing the Zero to One Hundred podcast. Sadly this was due to the unexpected death of my older sister Nikki. As I state in the podcast this was meant to be done before Avengers Endgame came out, but the circumstances dictated otherwise. If you haven't noticed by now, I'm extremely close to my siblings so this loss has been painful. This was a cathartic episode, because it was nice just talking to my brothers about something that brings us so much fun and joy.
It was harder than you think to rank all 22 of the Marvel Studios films, especially once we got past 15. Plus I hadn't ironed out the details as to how we would actually decide how to rank it based on our differing opinions, which is why the episode is so long. But please enjoy and as always let me know what you guys think? The next episode won't have as much of a delay but it's going to be special for sure.

Zero to One Hundred Episode 6: Us
April 12, 2019
Was a little late posting this, but here's our review of Jordan Peele's US. I was joined by my sister Kenya, and brother Ricky. While we differed in our opinions of the film, there's no denying that the film has a powerful impact in sparking lively debate and inspection of the themes presented. So let me know what you think of Jordan's follow up to Get Out.
