Episode 406: The End

8bit Geek Podcast

To Our Listeners,
10 years ago, Jeremy and Nick started this podcast to hang out and talk about movies. 10 years ago, neither one could have imagined the longevity of the show, nor its reach to so many listeners across the world. When Nick left the show and Doug and Kev joined soon after, we never would have imagined we'd record over 650 episodes, go to several conventions, make tons of friends, and have the absolute time of our lives that we had.
But as they say - all good things must come to an end.
After 10 years, it's sad to say, but our hearts just aren't in it like they once were. The show was starting to feel more like a chore, and without the passion to continue bringing you new episodes every week, we have decided it's time to hang up our hats and take a break from recording. We say 'take a break' because there is always a chance we will show up to review a movie, a TV show, a videogame we all enjoyed. We still want to do 8bit Horrorfest and fun things like that - but we are putting the weekly show to bed.
We want to thank a number of people for supporting us over the years - Our families for allowing us to disappear into our offices for hours at a time to record. For allowing us to abandon them on weekends to drive to Houston, Dallas, or San Antonio to go to a convention with our friends. We also want to thank our friends and listeners, such as (but not limited to) - Ryan, Ed, Franka, Ratty, Caleb, Link, Ben, and so many more. We'd also like to thank our previous and current hosts on other shows - Deb, Rainne, Mike, Antz, Windress, Stephen, Brendan, Daniel, Brittney, Caleb, and Ed. We'd also like to give a special shout out to our friend, New York Time's Best Selling Author Peter Clines. Without everyone listed here, and everyone else who tuned in every week, none of this would have been possible.

In an attempt to answer your questions before you ask them - No, the Discord server isn't going anywhere, that will continue on forever. Yes, our Patreon is being turned off so you won't be charged anymore. Yes, 8bit Saga will still be going on. Yes, we still plan on having our Sunday Night Movies Nights on the Discord. Yes, our show will still be available wherever you listen to podcasts. And if we missed any - please feel free to tweet at us, hit us up on the discord, etc... And finally, yes, Monday's episode will be our last.
Thank you so much for listening to us. Thank you so much for supporting us. This isn't 'goodbye', this is more 'see ya next time'.
Lots of love, hugs, and all that bullshit.
Jeremy, Doug, and Kevin
