Hope you had cable in the 90s because the Goosebuddies are checking out the Disney Channel cult show So Weird and its pilot episode 'Family Reunion' about paranormal believer Fi, her rocker mom, and the tour bus family that explores the things in the world that make a teenager cryptically whisper 'So weird...'. In this episode it's specifically the ghost of a poor wet boy who hates laptops.
Episode discussion begins: 15:45
OFF TOPICS: O.G. Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow, Chad is the Red XIII of Goosebuds, Nomura-san, The Playstation 2 Slim: The Greatest Entertainment System Ever Created, VHS cassettes are back, Warriors of Virtue, mix CDs vs mix tapes
Note: Sorry Chad is fighting through a cold so we hope his muffled voice isn't too bothersome.

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.

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?

We're squeezing out the year with one last Body Squeezer story. R.L. Stine's Give Yourself Goosebumps book Revenge of the Body Squeezers. Having defeated the green Squeezers in the Goosebumps 2000 books, you now face the kinkier blue variation. They're gonna squeeze you down into little black balls! Can Paul and Chad survive as a vengeful dwarf child as Kevin is our Book Master? Can we save Hollywood?

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

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.
OFF TOPICS: Splatoon Porn Duels, Mormon Bubbling, Reach Around The Isle

We're back with R.L. Stine's Invasion of The Bodysqueezers Part 2. If you haven't listened to the previous Goosebumps 2000 episode you may want to catch up on this story of Jack Archer aka Saucerman as he is now God's Lone Soldier against the endless swarm of green goo invaders. Also Mr. Fleshman is there but he's busy watching TV as the world burns. This story includes one of R.L.'s cruelest twists in the franchise as he pulls off an Inverse Shyamalan. Enjoy!

Kevin, Chad, and Paul tackle the first and only multi-book Goosebumps 2000: R.L. Stine's Invasion of the Body Squeezers Part 1!
Despite the title, there is no squeezing in this book. But there are ominous asteroids, Gameboy aesthetics, and a reminder that 'Not all families are same.' We'll be back next episode with Part 2 and the conclusion of Jack Archer & Mr. Fleshman.

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.
OFF TOPICS: fandom wikis, comment archaeologists, going down down like a louie la rah

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
