The End is Sigh

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, a...

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 inc...

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...

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 o...

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 Week...

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 cou...

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&apos...

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 A...

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. ...

"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 w...

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 w...

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! -------------------------------------...

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 q...

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 fo...

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 t...

Dun dun dun, it's Side Quest(s) time! Off the heels of our chat about *Batteries Not Included, we're diving into a couple elements we pulled from the fray! And if we could give you one guess as to who chose to discuss historic buildings and who chose to discuss robots, we feel like you'd nail it.  That being said, get cozy, light a candle, and lay your head back as you listen to the...

Sighers, it's part 1 of 2 of our Golden Oldies month! This week, the Knock Knock Boys are recapping a stone-cold classic, *Batteries Not Included! It's a charming, clever, Steven Spielberg PRESENTED feature film starring Hollywood legends like Hume Cronyn and Jessica Tandy, and written by that famous guy, Brad Bird. It also stars some robot-spaceship-aliens that look better than a lot of...

What's better than two grown men discussing a movie? Well, it's two grown men discussing the art of babysitting and the disdain of dating apps. That's right, in a followup to our discussion on Crazy, Stupid, Love., we dive into the topics you love, the info you need, and the human experiences you'll write to your families about when you're at war. Or something like that. ...

Like the movie, this episode is crazy, stupid, and lovely. At least we think so.  From hot Gosling to crazy Tomei to grand gestures that just might be a little too grand, we discuss the ins and outs of Crazy, Stupid, Love. We also discuss the Winter Olympics, some recommendations, and all that jazz. Happy listening!  Movie review starts around minute 19 --------------------------------------------...

Ah, love is in the air. Or is that the sound of a sigh? Could be both! This week, we dive into the topics we kinda gleamed from The Family Man ---> Valentine's Day and the concept of fate or destiny or free will or whatever you wanna call it. Spoiler alerts: Nate hates V-Day and it's Todd's fate to confuse everyone. There's also recommendations, a thought or two around the c...

Nicolas Cage. Téa Leoni. Don Cheadle. Other people. Need we say more?! If so, well, you should join us as we talk about this banger of a Christmas-but-not-Christmas movie. Plus, it's right on time for Valentine's week (2026 edition) so why not get all romantic, get magical, and get sad when the reality hits you.  Kind of like the audio in this episode. If anyone is a podcast producer tha...

You know the drill! It's topics time, baby! Based on our time watching Accepted, we've got a couple of not-quite-as-light-hearted-as-the-movie issues to discuss: the wildly outdated practice of hazing and the decline of the college dream. But there are laughs. We promise. Or at least we laughed.  Now onto the episode! Happy listening! -----------------------------------------------------...

You're just one click away from being accepted to our discussion about a movie that is definitely a product of its era... Accepted. Join us as we join a wacky crew of misfits that somehow produce results and still maintain heart even when their world is going to S.H.I.T. It stars Justin Long, Jonah Hill, Blake Lively, and other people! Oh, and we also discuss our week, ins, outs, recommendati...

This week, join Nate and Todd on their first side quest as they tackle topics like NASA and the very act of navigation. There's facts, there's guesswork, and there's even a shame ritual towards the end. Really, can you ask for more? Probably. But this is all you get! Happy listening.  --------------------------------------------------------------------- Get in touch! Digitally... We...
