Goosebuds

This episode the Goosebud Boys cover R.L. Stine's Goosebumps 2000 book Return to Ghost Camp, a sequel that has no returning characters or plot threads. It's not even the same camp. Can protagonist Dustin Minium evade the shape-shifting fox monster known as The Snatcher? At least this book gives us a great opportunity to reflect on the Kevin Era (aka Phase 2 of Goosebuds Cinematic Universe).

Book Discussion begins: 11:15 (sort of).

Off Topics: Kevin's Anniversary, Hot Topic and 'Just Two Things' shirts, our personalized Emotionally Honest T-shirts, the grape-worthy terroir of Indiana.

Whoever knows fear burns at the touch of the Man-Thing! And we had a similar response to reading this comic book! Chad, Paul, and Kevin are joined by expert Adam Teterus (Man-Thing Minute), to cover R.L. Stine's infamous 2017 Marvel series. This story shows the usually-horrifying Man-Thing now a joke machine trying to survive the entertainment industry in Burbank, California. It's certainly a comic book with some fantastic art by German Peralta! To know the better side of the shambling mound's stories we also read the classic issue Man-Thing #4 (1974) written by Steve Gerber and art by Val Mayerik. In that we meet the religious zealot and Marvel D-Lister The Foolkiller! This is a pretty wild episode as we compare the two very different works about the same character. Enjoy the listen!

We're putting a ring on it! Chad, Paul, and Kevin read through R.L. Stine's Goosebumps 2000 book Horrors of the Black Ring. That's multiple horrors, not just one. Little Beth has to deal with a possessed teacher, poor sweet animal violence, and a Nazgul attack on her school. Also we will all be going by our new nicknames P.B. Crisps, Maggot Freak, and Dunk tanK.

It's a new year with new book crimes being committed, Goosebuddies. Chad, Kevin, and Paul cover R.L. Stine's Goosebumps 2000 The Werewolf In The Living Room. In this the scariest thing isn't the possible lycans' it's the international crime of moving a person against their will to a new location. In this story can little Aaron Freidus learn that his dad is a corrupt cop and a sloppy monster hunter?

This episode Chad, Paul, and Kevin retreat from the harsh horror winter to the safe shelter of The Adventures of Pete & Pete to discuss the episode 'Nightcrawlers', a charming story from the first season about Little Pete and his friends trying to stay up for eleven nights in a row. We do not recommend doing this in real life.

OFF TOPICS: Incubus vs Deftones, NuMetal and emo and confusing genre names, milking the guitar's prostate

Prepare for the horror of complex Middle East politics, Goosebuddies. That's right, Chad, Paul, and Kevin cover R.L. Stine's Goosebumps 2000 book The Mummy Walks. It has surprisingly little undead emperors and a lot of political intrigue about a fictional country. Did Tom Clancy write this? Also why does this book suddenly turn cyberpunk?   Book discussion begins at 11:15   OFF TOPICS: The Transformers + Magic The Gathering conundrum, money isn't real, which Transformer would you bake into a pie (if you had to)   You can support Goosebuds, get access to bonus episodes, join our secret Discord, and more at patreon.com/goosebuds

Plug in, y'all. We're going web crawling! Chad, Paul, and Kevin go on an Adventure! with R.L. Stine's Give Yourself Goosebumps book It Came From The Internet. Our computer has a virus named Spydie, a charming little sentient vampire bug that certainly has franchise potential. Can we find a way to stop it or will we become slaves to this newfangled series of tubes?

OFF TOPICS: Naps: the new Drugs, Jim Carrey in 'Nah, Man', the Proto Manic Pixie Dream Girl

Happy Halloween Week, Goosebuddies! This episode Chad, Paul, and Kevin are joined by Anthony Burch (Dungeons & Daddies, League of Legends) to discuss R.L. Stine's Goosebumps 2000 book Scream School. This book has surprisingly little school in it. Seems the real horror is being raised in the entertainment industry as poor Jake Banyon deals with his famous director dad Emory. At least Rad Donner is cool.

This episode takes place in the Transylvania of America: Vermont. Chad, Paul, and Kevin read R.L. Stine's Goosebumps 2000 Jekyll and Heidi. This is a story about a sensitive poet girl dealing with a dark family secret, town riots, and chugging monster potions. We also discover how the Springfield is the nexus of all realms.
