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.
