Prepare to embark on a nostalgic journey through the whimsical lands of Fantasia with your favorite trio of time-traveling podcasters! ?️ In this special Patreon episode, we revisit the 1984 classic, "The NeverEnding Story," where we explore the adventures of Atreyu, the perils of The Nothing, and the mysterious connection between our world and the one found within the pages of an ancient, magical book. ?✨

From being left in a McDonald's in Sydney's red-light district to evading shady characters in the streets of Cairns, Justin shares a personal tale that rivals the escapades of Bastian himself. Meanwhile, Desmond contemplates the existential crisis of showering in ice-cold water and the lure of a power shower fantasy. ??

As we dissect the film's iconic characters and their Wheel of Time counterparts, we ponder the profound lessons woven into the narrative: the power of belief, the importance of imagination, and the undeniable fact that sometimes, animals in movies don't make it to the end credits. ??

So, grab your Auryn amulet, avoid swamps of sadness, and fly high with Luck Dragons as we dive deep into a story that truly never ends. And remember, sharing our podcast on an outdated format is not just encouraged, it's a rite of passage. ??️

For those who crave more cinematic musings, stay tuned for the announcement of our brand new podcast, "Movies R Us," where we'll tackle films about everything you'd find in a toy store, from action figures to video games. ??

Thank you for supporting Sounds Awesome Patreon. Your generosity fuels our never-ending quest to bring you content that's as timeless as a childlike empress and as comforting as a warm bath from a friendly dragon. ?
