Goosebuds

Do not adjust your RSS feed-- this is indeed Goosebuds. In this new side format the boys (Paul, Dom, and Chad) are joined by friend, editor, and game designer Kevin Cole (@RealKevinCole) to play a custom version of his tabletop-card-RPG, simply called Goosebuds RPG. The boys will take on Goosebumps horrors playing as their own teenage selves, with only fate and lucky cards keeping them alive.

The actual adventure begins in Issue #1, but this episode will familiarize yourself with the "Space Kings" gameplay system as well as entertain you while the boys look inwards which doubles as emotional therapy.

Normal episodes of Goosebuds will return right after this! Let us know if you want to hear more RPG adventures!

Paul, Dom, and Chad discuss the mantis-monster story Shocker on Shock Street, about an amusement park with technology far exceeding anything a modern-day Imagineer could come up with. The Shock Street movie series is not only the biggest horror franchise around, it covers all genres and tones: werewolf men, houses with flimsy electrical wiring, skeleton monorails. Pick a lane, movie producers! Enjoy.

OTHER TOPICS: Meatloaf's biggest secret, the problem with having too many friends, capturing your nudes in new mediums, Christmas Milk

Prepare to get your hands dirty, Goosebuddies; we're doing some gardening! And who better to help us in our war against our war-crime-committing neighbor than sentient ceramic gnomes? Well, they're actually just two tiny men who pretend to be statues and hang out in your backyard which is unintentionally way more terrifying than R.L. intended. But the book is fertile ground for discussion and jokes.   OTHER TOPICS: Chad, Paul  and Dom discuss 90s movie marathons, kids talking too much during movies, and the Buds' individual weapon load-outs for the upcoming Future War.

Seal up your space suit; we're launching into a new Adventure! episode-- Space Vampire!!! (We added those exclamations to the book title, but how can you not get excited when solar suckers are in play?) Dom reads this tale to Paul & Chad, who do their best to be young space hot shot 'Osprey' and take down a space vampire (different than terran vampires?) who hunts for human blood for some sinister, space-conquering purpose. Will the boys survive their monster hunt? Can their humanity? #ChadLeftGodForVampires   OTHER TOPICS: Our yearly pilgrimage to Yoshi's Island, Vector Man The Garbage Man, hidden secrets of writing for cartoons, and an update on Dom's campaign to be Mario.

Ooooh howdy the quality of this episode's book is divisive as figuring out where to plant your Identity Seeds. We dive into one of Chad's favorite titles in the original series-- Calling All Creeps-- and talk about the R.L.'s darkest payoff for teenage pranks, our hero Ricky the Butt Monkey, and which of us are secretly lizard people. This book gave us wonderful jumping off points for discussion and we're very happy you voted on us jumping ahead to this tale of pre-pubescent pod people. Enjoy!   OTHER TOPICS: A new media format for the show, Hit Clips, Chad's recurring Gremlins nightmare, and early signs of Jordan Peele's new role as Master of Horror.   You can support the show and get access to bonus episodes and other content at patreon.com/goosebuds   Edited by Kevin Cole (@RealKevinCole)   Original music by Seth Earnest (sethearnest.net)

We've covered mummy books on this show before, but not one set in the eternally-1940s world of Indiana Jones! In this special Adventure! episode Dom reads a choose-your-own-adventure written by our beloved R.L! Can Paul & Chad decipher Mr. Stine's subtle hints and pick the right random branching storyline? Will we make Indy proud of us? Is this story's similar plot to Goosebumps' Curse of the Mummy's Tomb merely a coincidence? Or is it just hard to come up with new plots about mummy tombs?

TOPICS: Beach Boys' vs The Muppets' Kokomo, TGIF, The Good Elvis, and a big amount of Stine/Scholastic legal scuttlebutt (totally not slander)
