Drink up, buddies! Kevin, Chad, and Paul return to read R. L. Stine's Goosebumps 2000 book Brain Juice. It's a story about genuinely dumb-dumb kids, a scientist who teaches via prank parables, and a rare 3rd party narration that changes our tale from horror to full on jovial farce. We also create the upcoming movement #HomeworkStrike.

Ghouls out for the summer, Goosebuddies! Paul and Kevin cover R.L. Stine's Goosebumps 2000 book Attack of the Graveyard Ghouls. Chad missed out on this episode as this story is pretty forking rad! It's got body possession, teens knocking down mailboxes, and the power of dance! Enjoy the episode.

Grab your tickets; we're going back to HorrorLand! Chad, Kevin, and Paul are joined by 90s nostalgia scholar BrutalMoose to cover R.L. Stine's Goosebumps 2000 book Return to HorrorLand. This story asks hard questions such as 'How much money would it take to sell your kids to a reality show?' Enjoy the park's new attractions; iconic rides such as Tooth Game... and Mummy Walk. Huh. HorrorLand claims to be under new management, but it's certainly up to its old tricks.

Why are we watching an old Nick Jr show? Because it was written by Jovial Bob Stine! Before Goosebumps was a thing on bookshelves, R.L. Stine was head writer on this wacky, non-educational children's show Eureeka's Castle. Chad, Paul, and Kevin are joined by guest Josh Henderson (Pretend Friends, M-Class Podcast, Continue?) to cover the first two episodes (that couldn't be bothered to have proper titles). We discuss the show's Lynchian b-roll, our favorite character Hose Boy, Batly's hipster status, and how Eureeka and her friends are all really servants of the giant. OFF TOPICS: Josh and Chad fall in love over Incubus, more quicksand debate, The Charlemagne Maneuver TV discussion begins: 05:20 You can support Goosebuds, get access to bonus episodes, vote on upcoming titles, and more atpatreon.com/goosebuds Dress your skeleton with Goosebuds apparel atgoosebuds.store Email: goosebuds@gmail.com Twitter: @GoosebudsPod Edited by Kevin Cole (@RealKevinCole) Music by Seth Earnest (sethearnest.net) Art by Brock Gallagher (@brockadile)
We swear we did our homework; a very nice A+ papier-mâché volcano but a galactic cruiser (stuck on shrink mode as often happens) crashed into our basement and things escalated from there. Paul and Chad are joined by writer Marly Halpern-Graser (Thundercats Roar, Aquaman: King of Atlantis, Mad) to talk about beloved Bruce Coville's first book in the miniseries known as Rod Allbright's Alien Adventures: Aliens Ate My Homework. This book has it all: martial arts aliens, Star Trek paralells, surprisingly good discussion about gender and pronouns, the tempation one feels to shake the tiny people in your lunchbox... OFF TOPICS: none really, we get into the book immediately!

In this episode Chad, Kevin, and Paul review R.L. Stine's Goosebumps 2000: Headless Halloween. It's a story about sociopath teen Brandon Plush who feels no remorse about the lives he destroys. Brandon Plush's endless campaign of mean pranks finally runs into the (literal) dead-end that is Raven's Ravine, but what horrors lurk on the other side? Worm-filled doughnuts for one. Gross. Enjoy this episode and make sure you never make fun of someone for owning a van.

In this episode Chad, Kevin, and Paul review the Goosebumps TV mini-series 'Chillogy'; a collection of three episodes centered around the magical miniature company town of Karlsville. These stories are not based on R.L. Stine's books making these pretty unique to compare to the rest of the series. Have you heard the good word of the Holy Chillogy? Let Karl Knave into your heart and you will be preserved forever in plastic. Or turned into a piganoid. Or beheaded by a baseball. Kinda whatever Karl is into at the moment. Give yourself to the episode and all will be good in this tiny model town.

The Ghoulastic Book Club returns to cover our favorite 90's YA book series about child soldiers: Animorphs. In this episode we cover K.A. Applegate's Megamorphs #3: Elfangor's Secret. While Paul fights his way back to our timeline Kevin and Chad are joined by guest Kayla Cline (Spooky Scouts,The Rite of Rumble: Wrestling with Demons) to talk about this wild time-traveling tale. Can the Animorph Kids save George Washington? Will they murder Adolph Hitler? Is morphing into a dolphin a reliable treatment for seeing your teenage love die in the cold waters of The Delaware? Plus learn the exciting backstory of The Ellimist: The Galaxy's First Pro Gamer. And remember the only balm against fascism is the refreshing taste of Mountain Dew Baja Blast. OFF TOPICS: Guitar Hero: Sea Shanty Edition, dwarvenbarbershop quartets, Kayla's legal troubles with Fall Out Boy, Wrestling With Demons, wearing our own merch. Book discussion begins at 11:20 Chad & Kayla's comic The Rite of Rumble is being funded on Indiegogo.

The parents are away for this Adventure! episode and the boys need a babysitter. Preferably not one that's secretly a rat monster. That would be nice. Also one that lets us watch R-rated movies and won't tell the adults about it. In this episode Paul, Chad, and Kevin read through R. L. Stine's Give Yourself Goosebumps book Attack of the Beastly Babysitter. The professionals at KidScare have a full entertainment facility to entertain us and our terrible brother Stinko. Hopefully we can avoid the Switch Cheese and the Mask of Worms. Enjoy!
