Tuesday Dec 22, 2020
Tuesday Dec 22, 2020
Today on Geesebumps we are looking at R.L. Stine's Night of the Living Dummy, which is not about Slappy the dummy, takes place over multiple nights, and is barely about anything substantive. Also, did you know that it's Dumpster, not dumpster? Also, enjoy our Andrew Dice Clay dummy impressions, oh!
The next episode comes out on January 5nd, 2021! Have nice holidays!

MINIBUMP! The Garbage Pail Kid-nundrum (Welcome to Smellville)
Tuesday Dec 15, 2020
Tuesday Dec 15, 2020
This year, 2020, the year that refuses to stop, R.L. Stine released the first entry in a new Garbage Pail Kids children's book series, Welcome to Smellville. We have made grim plans to read this particular R.L. Stine joint, but until such time, we are going to play a little game I'm calling the Garbage Pail Kid-nundrum. Can you do better than us?
The next episode comes out on December 22nd, 2020! We're going to be checking out one of the most important Goosebumps books thus far, Night of the Living Dummy (Goosebumps #7). We will also have a fun mini-bump on the 29th!

Geesebumps 11: The Babysitter
Tuesday Dec 08, 2020
Tuesday Dec 08, 2020
R.L. Stine's young adult thriller, The Babysitter, is going to be turned into a TV show. We struggle to find out how. We discuss the greatest red herring ever, Danielle reads a bunch of food-themed pick up lines, and we develop a new animated show (Schrodinger: The Cat That Never Dies (TM)). It's all the goofs you asked and more!

MINIBUMP! Goosebumps Protagonist Battle Royale
Tuesday Dec 01, 2020
Tuesday Dec 01, 2020
We've now read eight of R.L. Stine's Goosebumps books, and we have the same question all die-hard literary scholars have you have: which protagonist would come out on top if they had to fight to the death?

Geesebumps 10: Werewolf Skin (Goosebumps #60)
Tuesday Nov 24, 2020
Tuesday Nov 24, 2020
Bad news, ya'll. R.L. Stine wrote Werewolf Skin (Goosebumps #60), and did an absolutely amazing job. We go over the troubling realization that Werewolf Skin may very well be the best Goosebumps book, we discuss the ins-and-outs of being a werewolf, and our various R.L. Stines do a super-saiyan fusion. There's a lot of goofs here. Enjoy!
The next episode comes out on December 8th, 2020! We're going to be checking out one of R.L. Stine's more interesting young adult books, The Babysitter, and stay tuned for a minisode on December 1st!

MINIBUMP! "Werewolf Skin" (Goosebumps TV Show)
Tuesday Nov 17, 2020
Tuesday Nov 17, 2020
In preparation for our upcoming episode on R.L. Stine's Werewolf Skin (Goosebumps #60), we invited Steve and Emmy, the hosts of Misfits and Mysteries. Together, with their brave assistance, we go through the baffling, convoluted, absolutely unassailable plot of "Werewolf Skin" parts 1 and 2, and we get more and more baffled. These episodes are bonkers.

Geesebumps 9: "Don't Ever Get Sick at Granny's" (Ghosts of Fear Street #16)
Tuesday Nov 10, 2020
Tuesday Nov 10, 2020
It's cold and flu season so what better time to go through one of the scariest, illness based works in R.L. Stine's canon, Don't Ever Get Sick at Granny's. We talk Jilly Juice, cleansing, the dangers of water intoxication, unflattering dream sequences, and overnight cold cures. As a note, these are all things that are dangerous for you and though Danielle and Joe-Joe are doctors, they are not medical doctors.
The next episode comes out on November 24th, 2020! We're going to be checking out one of the later Goosebumps books, Werewold Skin (Goosebumps #60), and stay tuned for a minisode on the 17th where we discuss some Goosebumps apocrypha!

This wasn't a spooky book in any way, and in fact is pretty darn far from Goosebumps and the like, but as it turns out much like Jordan Peele, Robert Stine started his writing career as a humorist under the name "Jovial" Bob Stine. We recount two of his books in this episode How to Be Funny and 101 Vacation Jokes. These are both just...

Tuesday Oct 27, 2020
Tuesday Oct 27, 2020
Happy Halloween everyone! It's a goof-filled discussion of a Goosebumps story that takes place on Halloween itself: The Haunted Mask (Goosebumps #11) by R.L. Stine! Enjoy our analysis of a Goosebumps book that Joe-Joe foolishly describes as: "almost perfect."
The next episode comes out on November 9th, 2020! We're REALLY gonna be reading Don't Ever Get Sick at Granny's (Ghost's of Fear Street #16), and stay tuned for a minisode on the 20th where we discuss some Goosebumps apocrypha!
