Hello?! Anyone in this abandoned church? Want to talk about infected rage zombies? Your host Chad Quandt is joined by editor Ben Ravid (Invincible Fight Girl, Big Nate, this show!) to gush about the acclaimed movie that kicked off the modern zombie craze: Danny Boyle and Alex Garland's 28 Days Later. And we also talk about the just released followup that is almost literally 28 Years Later. How would Chad and Ben survive an apocalypse? How amazingly badass is Selena with a machete? And what the hell is that Power Rangers cliffhanger? Spoilers abound for both films. Enjoy the episode!

Something's foul in the air, and we swear it's not us. Your host Chad Quandt is joined by triple-threat actor/writer/wrestler James Willems (Answer For It!, Ghostbusters Spirits Unleashed, Funhaus) to discuss one of Junji Ito's largest works; the stinky book Gyo (known as 'Fish: Ghastly Squirming' in Japan). A 'death stench' has taken over Okinawa, followed by an army of walking rotten fish, sharks, and eventually entire improv troops of stink people. This terror tome includes The Sad Tale of the Principal Post and the legendary short story The Enigma of Amigara Fault. This podcast was made for you! Enjoy!

Hope your thirsty for horror movie discussion, Goosebuddies. Your host Chad Quandt is joined by animation director Brock Gallagher (aka avant-garde V-Tuber NilbogLive). Before the Spy Kids era, Robert Rodruigez was a pretty cool director. Teamed with Scream's writer Kevin Williamson makes for The Faculty; a great 90s take on body snatchers and Animorphs-adjacent teenagers. As walking contradiction Zeze would say, this podcast is guaranteed to jack you up.

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!

Hope you're hungry for podcasts, Goosebuddies. Your hosts Chad Quandt, Paul Ritchey, and Kevin Cole celebrate the end of an era for this show by watching the 90s Are You Afraid of the Dark episode 'The Tale of the Dangerous Soup'. Dr. Vink is running a strange bistro with an expensive soup that is bringing old rich people in by the bakers' dozen! But what's the secret ingredient? What's the deal with this lawn ornament? Why is it being milked? And hey Neve Campbell is in this! They also discuss Uncle Ben in card games and Wolverine's brain regenerating.

And this is the last official episode with Paul and Kevin as regular hosts. They'll both be missed and their spirits will linger over the campfire for decades to come. This is a big shift in The Ice Church mandates. Thank you all for listening and Chad will return for the third wave of Goosebuds later this month! Enjoy!

OFF TOPICS: Marvel Snap, sacrificing Uncle Ben, Magic sleeveless degenerates, future Chad problems, Wolverine’s brain regenerating
