The End is Sigh

Triple digits, baby! We never thought we'd see the day. But despite the world's best efforts, we did it. So, to celebrate, we're answering questions from friends! 

We cover Nate's Dungeons & Dragons character and weird side-hustle, our personal podcast favorites (this one and others), our best and worst movie theater experiences, butter or no butter on popcorn, the current state of Marvel movies, how horror movies mirror cu...

Is there an echo in here? I swear someone's saying "evolution" way too much. Maybe it's just me. Anyway, back to it.

This week, there's chatter about gardening, a Todd-Reddit controversy, the dead internet theory, news for Nate (two weeks late!), movie news, CGI through the ages, and a slew of evolution facts that focus mainly on Darwin! Enjoy!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Get in touch! Digital...

The End is Sigh has EVOLVED! Instead of Nate and Todd agreeing on the majority of a movie, they agree on about 25% of it. But, that's life... on Earth. See what I've done there? This week, the discussion lands on Evolution, starring David Duchovny, Orlando Jones, Seann William Scott, and Julianne Moore! So it's a stacked cast acting against a truly unbelievable plot.

Other than that, there's News for Nate - Two Weeks Late, how the g...

Remember Reading Rainbow, 3-2-1 Contact, Bill Nye the Science Guy, and all those other really important educational shows that helped you understand the world better? Well this is nothing like that.

This week, we go over news you may have missed over the past two weeks, pricey hotel rooms, an assortment of witch/Wicca stuff, the reality of trillionaires, a witch quiz, our reactions to Obsession, and other stuff! Enjoy.

Welcome to a classic TEIS episode! It's got all four staples: a movie review, meaning in the meantime, rated R material, and questionable-at-best audio! 

Speaking of four, this week we discuss the cult classic, four-movies-in-one film, Four Rooms! It stars Tim Roth as he bellhop's for some crazy scenarios that include witches, role players, mysterious smells, and drunken bets! And it includes some famous peeps in the form of Ma...

This week, we make meaning out of the meantime by recounting the last two weeks of news! Lucky YOU! That means, you get to hear about the things that probably depress the hell out of you (hint: it's the Trump administration) and some other stuff, as well. Probably AI related. 

Then, we dive into a couple side quests from Chronicle - found footage and telekinesis! Aka - we read the articles so you don't have to. Happy listening!...

The only thing you really need to know about this episode is that Nathaniel is an apex predator. We talk about his movie pick - Chronicle, he corrects many of Todd's mistakes, and he takes an accurate shot in the gosh-dang dark (PG!) for Todd's never-seen-but-should've-seen movie! 

Then there's the usual of course: what we've been up to (spoiler: Denver FanExpo), ins and outs (spoiler: Happy Pride Month), and recommendations! H...

One topic is clear, one topic is confusing. Welcome to the status quo here at The End is Sigh! This week, on the heels of The NeverEnding Story, we're busting out our Google skills to impart some chaotic themes we found in the form of book facts and brain chemistry.

But before we do that, we discuss the indie film, Dandelion, the series finale of The Boys, then go over News for Nate, Two Weeks Late!

Enjoy. (insert finger guns here)

This podcast is like a never ending story, amirite?! Except for that multi-year gap. Ignore that fact so the self-deprecating joke works. Thanks. Anyway, back to it. This week, we talk concerts, Todd's proposed one-year moratorium on all things media, a mixed slew of graduation commencement speakers, and of course, The NeverEnding Story! A film that awoken countless imaginations and broke countless hearts in the process. 

Now s...

Just when you think you've heard it all, you hear us try accents! Particularly, surfer bros and rednecks. So, godspeed to your eardrums! But, that can only mean ONE THING... we're talking waves and surfing! Obviously! 

That's right, on the heels of Surf's Up, we sink our amateur teeth into the themes we pulled from the flick, including testing Nate on some surfer lingo. We're totally frothing for this, so don't be a gremmie.&nb...

Cowabunga bro-chachos! What brings you to these friendly waters? Oh, a movie review? That's pretty chill. Well, around minute 33, we've got one for ya. It's Surf's Up! The totally animated penguin movie about surfing competitions, past selves, new friends, and pseudo-cannibalism. Radical, right?! 

Well, after Nate-mondo and Todd-sinki get done vibing about their last flick in Ani-MAY-tion month, they also crush a few ki...

When you think of American history, there's only one place that comes to mind - The End is Sigh! 

That's right, this week the Sigh guys are diving into Lady Liberty facts, what it was (kinda) like immigrating to the United States in the late 1800's, and so many more cool facts you'll feel like a real college graduate when you're done. Nate's promise, not Todd's. 

Before we get to that, there's News for Nate, Two Weeks Late!...

"There are NO CATS in America!" 
"Papa?" 
"Sigh."

These are just some of the things you'll hear this week on The End is Sigh --> An American Tail edition! Isn't that exciting?! 

Plus, before we dive into the nostalgia of mice immigrating to the United States in the 1800s, we discuss Nate's very busy week, how we actually hung out and did stuff that wasn't video games (I.e., Dropout.tv Improv, Magic: The Gather...

In a perfect followup to our episode on "Your Name", we dive into a couple of topics that are slightly confusing and require some decent memorization on the listener's part --- but we have faith in you! So, buckle in and listen as we discuss the art of creating sake and the (many) differences between comets, asteroids, and meteors! 

And before we get to those, we help you catch up with news that's two weeks late. At least it is...

This week, we're reviewing a mildly confusing, yet otherwise beautiful tale of two comet-crossed animated lovers ---> Your Name! Listen as we try to unweave a story in linear fashion despite all the odds, and enjoy as we discuss TCG, Easter hunts (timely, right?), Todd's doctor drama, recs, and more! 

Happy listening!

ps. the movie review starts around minute 23

-----------------------------------------------------------------...

This week, we get down to business. Serious business. Studio Ghibli and lightning bug (aka firefly) facts business. You've been warned. 

From femme fatales to Totoro neighbors, this episode has it all! Kind of. Because we also discuss Neon Genesis: Evangelion, how we made meaning out of the meantime®, The World Cup song choices, and more!

Happy listening!

Get in...

We're sad boys today. Well, we were sad boys when we recorded it, at least. And while we watched this movie. It's not for those looking for a pick-me-up, but it is for those that like a good story, strong animation, beautiful music, and a bit of history! It's Grave of the Fireflies by Studio Ghibli! 

Aside from our saddest film since "A Monster Calls", we do get into the quote-unquote fun stuff ---> News for Nate, Two Weeks ...

On the heels of our episode on Grumpy Old Men, the schmucks are diving into the most electric topics ever discussed on an audio medium - ice fishing and growing old! That's right, we've got ice depth facts (ones you probably haven't heard of if we're being honest), and some harsh realities around the one thing we all have to do in life (spoiler, it's not staying in line for a rollercoaster).

Inside-the-episode jokes aside, we also t...

Call us schmucks, call us putz's, but don't ever call us professional podcasters! Also, welcome to part 2 of our Golden Oldies month! 

With that out of the way, join us this week as we recall the 1993 classic (in more ways than one), Grumpy Old Men. It stars Walter Matthau, Jack Lemmon, Ann-Margret, Burgess Meredith, and so many more legends of the silver screen.

Beyond two grumpy guys talking about two grumpy older guys...
