What sort of creepy story are we covering on the first episode of Goosebuds where Chad is solo host? A 2003 Lego fantasy toy ad. Yes, Goosebuddies. It's true. But we'll get to scary stuff again. Chad Quandt is joined by guest Payton Whaley (Flyover Culture, A Moment of Science) to review the first of many Lego movies about the dark fantasy island Mata Nui who is protected by Toa elemental warriors. Wait, is everything in this named after culture from South East Asia? YIKES. I guess this IS a scary story!
