It's Schwimmer Time! Your hosts Chad Quandt, Paul Ritchey, and Kevin Cole check out the latest season of Goosebumps: The Vanishing, starring David Schwimmer of Run Fatboy Run and Madagascar fame. This modern retelling of the classic 'Stay Out Of The Basement' begins another serialized season of teenagers and adults hopping through other old 'Bump books. How does Season 2 compare to Justin Long's Season 1? What does 'bussin' mean? And who exactly is this show for besides us? (SPOILERS: We cover episodes 1 & 2 "Stay Out of the Basement, Part I & 2" but also have small discussion of episodes 3 and 4 'The Haunted Car' & 'Monster Blood'.

We also have big updates to the future of the podcast. Thank you again for listening and being part of this show!

Prepare for something a bit different, Goosebuddies! While Chad flees the LA fires (don't worry; he's safe), Paul and Kevin gather to talk about two pieces of non-R.L. media they enjoy. The anime OVA classics: 1988's 'Dragon's Heaven' by Makoto Kobayashi and 1985's 'Angel's Egg' by Mamoru Oshii. Both about girls wandering desolate apocalypse landscapes. Hope you enjoy this departure from our usual fare. We're exploring more art to discuss for this podcast and want to hear from you about it on Patreon!

Oh Come, All Ye Goosebuddies! Your hosts Chad Quandt, Paul Ritchey, and Kevin Cole revisit two 90s cartoon holiday episodes. First we check out ABC's Recess's politically correct 'Yes, Mikey, Santa Does Shave' guest starring James Earl Jones and Michael McKean in which Chad's cartoon proxy Mikey challenges 3rd Street to prove Santa is real.

We then shift to the more subversive with Nickelodeon's Rocko's Modern Life's holiday episode 'Can't Squeeze Cheer From a Cheese Log!' otherwise known as Rocko's Modern Christmas. Rocko's hoping friends come by for the holidays, including some mysterious elves next door. Is Santa dead? Are Elves keeping the legend alive like the Bat Family does in Batman's absence? Unsure, but a cloud poops snow and Mr. Bigfoot gets capped in the knee. Pretty good.

We also talk about Sonic the Hedgehog canon and Chad's love for the female southern brawler archetype. Enjoy and happy holidays!
