Sinus Show calls it quits
The ever-popular, always sold-out Sinus Show — three guys, one movie, gales of hilarious heckling — are breaking up due to those old, thorny “creative differences.” Which means tonight and Saturday night’s comic dismantling of “Die Hard” at the Alamo Downtown will be the troupe’s final shows. They are, of course, already sold out.
Evidently things got pretty ugly, so the Sinus guys — Owen Egerton, Jerm Pollet and John Erler — decided to go their solo ways. We’ll share details as they come in.
This gaping new rip in Austin’s cultural fabric will deprive fans of the trio’s pro-grade heckling of such deserving movies as “Xanadu,” “Crossroads” and “Footloose.”
Sinus, you will be missed. Share farewells at www.sinusshow.com.

Well… this sucks. As part of your rabid fan base we are going to miss you guys- What the heck am I going to spend hundreds of dollars on now that I am not going to every single Sinus Show y’all do…

I am extrememly sad about this.. I unfortunately moved away from Austin 2 years ago and am desperately trying to return.. Mr. Sinus was ALWAYS something I made a point of doing when visiting, which was quite often. I am coming again in March and am really dissappointed, my trip won’t be the same! Couldn’t you do a special reunion show, just for me? March 16th? Please?

I’ll never pee my pants in a movie theater again. Snakes on a plane. That silly snake costume. It did me in. Adios amigos.

Owen, John, and Jerm certainly gave us a lot of laughs, but I suppose all good things must come to an end. Let’s hope for a reunion (“Misty Silence Theatre 4000”?) sometime in the future.

These guys need to put their differences aside for the fans. Think of THE FANS. The poor drunk, foggy, lovable fans. Seriously though, there was an edge to their chemistry. I guess that edge came from tension. Too bad. Why do too many artists have such a hard time grasping the concept of teamwork? I had the pleasure of not only seeing lots of movies with these guys, but being introduced to movies by these guys. Snakes on a Plane will never be the same.
