Goosebuds

This episode of Goosebuds sees Kevin, Paul, and Chad joined by guest Hadley St. Clair (Super Try Studios, Pretend Friends) to discuss R.L. Stine's Goosebumps 2000 book I Am Your Evil Twin. To paraphrase Hadley, this story has so many red herrings it should be tinned. It also has one of the craziest plot twists we've ever covered on the show: clone child trafficking! Scary indeed! They also discuss 90s allergy science, papier mache burdens, and piano standoffs. Enjoy!   Book Discussion begins at: 09:45   OFF-TOPICS: live-action anime adaptations of our nightmares, heirloom hatchets, Timothée Chalamet the YouTuber.   Follow Hadley on Twitter (@hadstclair)   You can support the show, get access to bonus episodes, vote on upcoming titles, and more at patreon.com/goosebuds

In this episode the G-Boys discuss this Goosebumps 2000 story about a monstrous teacher who will eat a student with the worst performance at the school talent show. To be fair, it's really not much worse than our current-day American education system. Mrs. Maaargh is a fantastic R.L. Stine monster and she quickly munches her way into our collective hearts. Bonus: stand up jokes with balloon animals.   OFF-TOPICS: Y2K Samurai-Dragon shirts and the cool people who wore them, Magic the Gathering card sleeve tactics, Papa Cole of Lorwind.   Book discussion begins: 06:43   You can support the show, get access to bonus episodes, vote on upcoming titles, and more at patreon.com/goosebuds

RAW-ROOOOO! It's another Adventure! Kevin, Chad, and Paul read through the choose-your-own-story The Werewolf of Twisted Tree Lodge. The boys roleplay as a young plagiarist whisked away to a writers' convention in a woodland cabin that also is run by werewolves? Sadly we don't get to go to any panels about three act structure or meet R.L. but we had a blast reading through this mess all the same.

Happy Halloween, everybody! Stay safe.

OFF-TOPICS: Kevin's tormented chicken pizza confession.

Adventure begins at 17:30

It's Goosebumps 2000 time, buddies! And Slappy's finally getting married. Though we're still waiting on them to lock down a date. All the venues (ventriloquist stages) are hard to book because they don't exist anymore. Chad, Paul, and Kevin read this fourth Living Dummy tale about Slappy's shot at love, which mostly involves Slappy negging his paramours and calling them 'slave'. He's a real charmer, that Sole Icon Of The Franchise.

OFF-TOPICS: Eastern Time supremacy (which isn't actually real, Pacific Time gets the real benefits), underground California Pizza, the thin red line between "pizza" and "pizza pie", The California Pizza Sphere, our most Cool & Evil Pope's reaction to Undertale, rise of The Ghost Kitchen.

Hot damn is this a fun episode of fall television! Chad, Paul, and Kevin revisit the Nickelodeon classic (and arguably the best thing they've ever produced) The Adventures of Pete & Pete and this anti-capitalist story about the extinction of bears, the nirvana of a perfect golf swing, and the freedom of a fur suit.   OFF-TOPICS: Too Hot To Handle aka 'Bone Island', "Soaking" at BYU, God's awkward multiple date situation, Skinwalker Ranch's latest monetization scheme/reality show aka 'Dorky Umbrella Corp'.   Episode discussion begins at 20:21

We did it, boys and ghouls! This marks us covering every book in the main Goosebumps series! We share the honor with thousands of 90s kid who binge read these things to earn Pizza Hut Book It points. We're gonna take a day to congratulate ourselves and then dive back into the good work as R.L. is still pumping out stories and he only grows in power. This tale of giant sea creatures is certainly no Haunted School but it's a fitting tale to cap R.L's original 62 books as it's filled with pranks, fake outs, marine vore, and a big womp womp of a joke ending. We hope you enjoy it as much as Billy loved diving into that jellyfish.

OFF TOPICS: Our lo-fi screens, inheriting Magic decks, death insurance letters, famous Boyles.

You hear that bell? School is back in session. Kevin, Chad, and Paul hang out and discuss this late entry into the core Goosebumps collection. While none of us recall this book from our youth, this one rocks. It's bursting with ideas including dead child statues, roaming packs of wild dogs, tall goth girls, cease-fire proms, sideways elevators, evil photographers and The Pit. 

OFF TOPICS: Everything is nothing, The Green Knight, Chappie in bed, Chad badly summarizes Mighty Morphing Power Rangers lore, ear candles, Junior Mint Juleps.

This is it! The end of the Fear Street Netflix 'Chillogy' (which is secretly a tetrology but there isn't as obvious a horror pun for that). Paul returns from his West Coast travels to join Kevin and Chad as they discuss the finale of a six-hour tale filled with class division, tripping on berries, sapphic stories, kill count montages, crowdgasp.wav, The Konami Code, and a few twists that simultaneously strengthen the previous films while also making them less necessary? This is a really interesting horror series and we've had fun discussing them. Hope you enjoy the listen too!

OFF-TOPICS: Mr. Vampire, Uncle Traveling Paul's stories, coffee milk, spite forks.

Welcome to Camp Nightwing, Goosebuddies! Uncle 'Traveling' Paul is exploring the West Coast so your hosts tonight are Chad and Kevin. These two hairy-belly men discuss the second installment in this Fear Street movie 'chillogy'. This homage to Friday the 13th is brutal and there are a lot of sweet, innocent children getting axes in the face. We talk about comparisons to the Scream vibes of 1994, whatever themes the movies are going for, and the rules of 'Color War' games. Also that Silent Hill-esque cave heart was rad.

OFF-TOPICS: Kevin's cosplay adventures, getting glomp'ed, Chad's ideal cosplay rig, a curious Brit, western Miyazaki dubs, Space Jam 2: The Death of Culture.

Movie discussion begins at: 19:45
