The boys are going to Camp Anawanna, summer home of counselor Ug, lovable dolt Donkeylips, and the sentient piece of human garbage Budnick. There are other kids too. One likes basketball. If you consider that a personality trait.

'Zeke the Plumber' (otherwise titled as 'Ghost Story') is Salute Yours Shorts most infamous episode. The tale of an undead plumber with a cut-off nose and his cursed plunger is certainly memorable, but is it as scary as we through? Kevin, Paul, and Chad discuss this episode of pranks, spiders, and ruffled potato chips. 

OFF-TOPICS: Kevin's Birthday Month begins now! A discussion of birthday existentialism follows. Every day is an internet holiday. Hot Dogs and the greatest meal that Kevin has ever eaten (it was a hot dog). #SaveGoosebuds

Wowzers, we've done a hundred episodes of Goosebuds! That's a Benjamin of podcasts. We are so grateful for you listening and being a part of this family of audio campers.

To celebrate the centennial, the Goosebuds Boys watched the 2018 film Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween 'starring' Jack Black. (The quotations are to mock his total appearance time; not his star power. We love Jables.)

This movie evokes different emotions in each of us and things are going to get heated. The magic circle has been drawn. Runes have been placed to keep emotions at bay. Let's discuss this piece of cinematic art.

OFF TOPICS: Reflecting on One Hundred Goosebuds Eps, debating the Breakfast Club of the 90s and 2000s, Criterion Buds.

Movie discussion starts at 3:53 (that's right-- a sub-five-minute intro!)

Goosebumps stories about camps are usually of high quality, filled with scares about death and teenage puberty. Will Camp Cold Lake hold water? Paul, Chad, and Kevin are your three-way buddy system to talk about Sarah Maas who is the worst. We also meet Della, a ghost with big plans and the potential to be in the upper pantheon of Goosebumps creeps. Also, hey we're one episode away from #100. That's rad.   OFF TOPICS: Musicals! Good? Bad? Put on-ish? Also, varsity-lettering in Singing, Footballing, and Snark.   Book discussion begins: 5:56

As we near the last of the original Goosebumps books, the boys dip their toes into the millennial world of Goosebumps 2000. How do the scares differ in the new Y2K world? Is it worth exploring further? Chad, Paul, and Kevin read through Cry of the Cat. The mysterious feline Rip has a death wish and a crazy third act twist. Meow.

OTHER TOPICS: crypto art, spitting up digital, talking Lego Ninjago on Chatroulette.

Put on your sunscreen, we're going tropical! Paul, Chad, and Kevin cover the Give Yourself Goosebumps book The Twisted Tale of Tiki Island.

Get ready because THE CURSE STARTS RIGHT NOW!

The Blob That Ate Everyone has arguably one the best Goosebumps covers, with one of the best taglines, but... is it one of the best stories? No. It really isn't. Even so Paul, Chad, and Kevin have a great time talking about magical typewriters that is also somehow the precursor plot to the Goosebumps movie.

OFF TOPICS: The Hobbit dwarves' desirability rankings, a comment on our increased Tolkien-verse conversations, "Buca Di Pepe" and how to impress your friends at Brazilian steakhouses.

As we enter 2021 the podcast is getting some updates. Dom has retired his haunted jersey and we need a new Goosebuds on the team. The Buds #1 draft pick is... Kevin Cole!

If you somehow don't know Kevin already from his multiple guest appearances, designing kickass games like Space Kings, and editing like all our episodes, we hope you welcome him into your heart like we have. We're excited to have our dwarven friend on the show to talk about YA books and 90s culture.

In this episode Kevin, Paul, and Chad cover the 1997 Goosebumps book Don't Go To Sleep!, a story about a reality hopping dork who just wants to sleep in his guest bed. That's the hero's journey for this book-- dude wants to nap on a sleep number. We also discuss the process of welcoming Kevin, Franklin the bus driver and his many kids, BiBs, and Jumpers.

Book discussion starts at: 11:35

OFF TOPICS: The Quiverfull Movement, Lord of the Rings percentages, Redwall mouse feasts.

Monster Blood, the iconic Goosebumps goop, returns for this final book in the mainline series. Is it really Monster Blood though or just a can of blue mutant warcrimes? Chad, Paul, and Dom cover this tale of wacky watersports, dogs in distress, and sloppy science. While you listen, we ask you to consider: what do the 'Sluglins' look like? Are they adorable? Gremlin-y? Does any answer excuse Kermit and the other kids being complete idiots? Regardless we have a blast discussing the book and share big updates for the podcast as one of our friends heads out for distant lands. We love you all.

Book discussion starts at 10:30

OFF TOPIC: Update on Dom's dealing with 'The Family', the origin of Kilroy, The Waldo Cult.
