The Unofficial Official Nightmare Shark Rap - The Nightmare Bros

I’ve been digging through those internets like a digger hopped up on spiral power trying to collect all those pristine 1st and 2nd season Nightmare Shark episodes, and I came across this little gem.  

I figured you guys might enjoy this while you wait for our super awesome top secret series finale.

Hey guys, I know you’re probably wondering where the Shark has been, and I’m here to bring you the news.

As of 9/10/11 it’s been officially two years since the first episode was posted.  In those two years it’s been quite the roller coaster for Caldwell and me.  In those two years both of us have moved to New York, Caldwell got a sick job at College Humor, I went from executive to lowly server and starving artist, and the both of us have won and lost art fights.

The podcast itself has gone through a ton of changes as well.  In the first episode we announced that the Nightmare Shark would be focused on our own artistic endeavors and be primarily focused on the world of web comics.  Between now and then the show has probably seen at least 7 formats, with various lengths, topics, levels of rambling, scriptedness, release schedules, and overall quality.  Despite the relative lack of continuity, I can honestly say that the show got better every episode and season 4 has definitely been the ultimate maximum.

And although it was a heartbreaking decision for both of us, Caldwell and I have decided to go out on top.

The Shark has always been a labor of love.  A chance for the both of us to vent our creativity in ways not allowed elsewhere, as well as a chance for two burrit-bros to get some burritos and hang out.  We have had a great time, as I hope you all have had.  Caldwell and I have both been given some amazing opportunities recently (I mean potential life changing stuff here), and it has become clear that we cannot take these opportunities while still providing you guys with the quality podcast you expect on any kind of consistent basis.  We refuse to give the finheads anything but the best most hyper awesome.

That being said, there has not yet been a proper conclusion to season 4.  Caldwell and I are planning a huge season finale episode the likes of which you’ve never seen.  Who knows what could happen?   One thing’s for sure, It will be a celebration of everything Nightmare Shark.  As always, if you have something you want to see, let us know and we’ll try and throw it in there.  This one is for you guys. 

After that who knows.  If we had a hyperbolic time chamber (ala DBZ), we’d still be giving you a weekly show.  Time is the only issue.  I will make no promises, that’s why I’m writing you guys this sad break up note, but if there is one thing I know, it’s that comic book heroes never really die.  And who the hell do you think we are?

Thank you all so much for supporting us over the years.  We’re not going anywhere, so if you want to yell at me because you’re furious that I’m doing this to you, you know where to find me.  Also if you have any favorite Nightmare Shark memories, or really anything NMS related at all, I’d be happy to put those up on the blog (as long as they’re not sexy pics, those I’ll keep to myself).  Together we can keep the Nightmare Shark alive. 

Thanks again guys.  We love you.

NIGHTMARE SHARK EPISODE 407: THE DREAM DOLPHIN

Hey boys and girls.  This week we are joined by one Mr. Owen Parsons, who gives us a few pointers on podcasting.  To aid in this scholastic journey, we even got a clip of Owen’s show the Dream Dolphin so we can see how the pros do it. 

ALSO!

We’re Super Ultra Mega Stoked to announce that the Nightmare Shark Podcast now has a theme song!  And it’s not just any theme song… It’s George and Jonathan!  You might recognize it from another episode. We loved it so much, and George and Jonathan were so super awesome, that it is now the official music tunes of the Nightmare Shark Podcast.  So make sure to go check out those guys, and enjoy the show!

NIGHTMARE SHARK TUMBLR EXCLUSIVE OUTAKE SUPREME

BURRITO KING

This past weekend we were joined in the Shark Tank by the ever-so-talented Mr. Owen Parsons.  The full episode will go up Monday (which is going to be our official release day from now on), but I had to share this outtake with the Tumblrs.  She called me up the other day and was all like “Henry, why you neglect me with cool content” and I was all like “baby, you know that ain’t true”.  She didn’t really buy it.  Tumblr is a fickle mistress.  

Anyways, expect more outtakes and other Tumblr exclusive content in the future. 

Hey guys! If you don’t “like” the Shark on Facebook yet, you probably missed this, and other totally awesome pictures of the Ultimate Space Beach Party Weekend.  So you should probably go check those bad boys out.  And while you’re there give us a little FB love.  Because that is true love.

NIGHTMARE SHARK EPISODE 322: NONSENSIKA NOIRE

Good time almighty.  This week the Nightmare bros talk auditions, and due to the Nightmare Shark 6 degrees of seperation, eventually turn it into talk about L.A. Noire.  It’s also possible that the 5x5 returns.  The possibility exists.
