Geesebumps 49: Prom Cream! (Fear Street: Prom Queen Watchalong) Sep 3, 2025 6683 We were just lazy enough to decide to do a watchalong of Fear Street: Prom Queen, based on R.L. Stine's novel of the same name. Or cream? We haven't decided. But what we have decided is Chris Klein is a treasure and make him work far more. To sync up! Hit play, scroll back to 00:00, hit pause, and hit play when Joe says Go! At 13:32, Netflix showed 00:15. We also do a quick pause for a bathroom br

Geesebumps 46: Bad Hare Day (Goosebumps #41) Apr 16, 2025 6414 If I was to tell you: Goosebumps book about magic, you'd probably be like "oh, I can imagine that." You can't. In a rare occurrence we spend more time talking about this book then we spent reading it collectively between the three of us because R.L. Stine's Bad Hare Day (Goosebumps #41) is the stoniest stone we've ever tried to wring jokes out of. Oh, and we cut out a whole bunch of jokes about Cr

Geesebumps 45: Night of the Living Dummy III (Goosebumps #40) Mar 19, 2025 5232 You would think that after two books about ventriloquist dummies we'd learn our lesson that no books about ventriloquist dummies is the perfect amount of books to read on the topic. This is why we do the podcast about the ventriloquist dummies. It's Night of the Living Dummy III (Goosebumps #40). Yup. One more again. Talking points include: Rizz Lord Skibidi, this box has boo on it, raw sexual c

Geesebumps 42: The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena (Goosebumps #38) Nov 30, 2022 4955 Gravity tried very hard to stop this episode from coming to be, but we sure showed them. It's time to talk about The Abominable Snowman of Pasadena (Goosebumps #38) care of horror master R.L. Stine. Our initial verdict: it's a mess.

Geesebumps 41: It Came from Beneath the Sink!

Geesebumps 40: A Night in Terror Tower (Goosebumps #27) Oct 26, 2022 5244 With a name like A Night in Terror Tower, you'd think they'd spend like...a night there. It's time for R.L. Stine's 27th Goosebumps title wherein everything you think you know about towers, nights, time, and existential dread are all questioned and found wanting. Also, Joe didn't read the book and feels really vulnerable about it so back off. Enjoy! You can check out our other activities, merch,

We're back for I guess a season two as we dig into one of the lost Goosebumps reprints, R.L. Stine's Legend of the Lost Legend (Goosebumps #47).
