Well, it is just after the opening weekend of “The Hunger Games”, the film adaptation of Suzanne Collins’ mega selling young adult dystopian trilogy and the world was DEFINITELY watching. With a worldwide gross of over 200 million in just a little over three days, the film has not only managed to reel in both casual movie goers and hard core fans but has also garnered a reasonable amount of positive critical acclaim. But how does the film stand up to our critical eye??
Join us for a mega-sized episode where we welcome back Ricky D of Sound on Sight to talk about the world of The Hunger Games and how the craft of director Gary Ross’ vision holds up on screen.

THE CURSE IS OVER!! We are finally back in the land of the podcasts, and after almost 2 months we have finally managed to avoid technical difficulties, stomach flus, and horrible head colds. During this episode Greg and Shawn finally manage to get to the overly hyped and frequently teased changing media episode. Also, during this episode we discuss a change to the format of how Zero Pretension will be approaching our film reviews in the future, but don’t worry we will not be introducing an interpretive dance component to our show.
