    Geesebumps 49: Prom Cream! (Fear Street: Prom Queen Watchalong)

    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 break and you'll know when it happens. To sync back up after the break, pause at 37:06, and hit play when Joe says Go at 58:33. Also, please comment if this was successful.   You can check out our other activities, merch, and contact us at: https://www.mom-hat.com   You can support Geesebumps by sharing us with your friends, emailing us at geesebumpspod@gmail.com, and following us on tumblr!    You can also give us a positive review on your podcatcher of choice and one of our Stine's will shout you out!    Check out more cool stuff from us at: https://www.mom-hat.com   The intro/outro song of our show is "Bad Dream" by the band Dog Party from the album Hit And Run!

    Geesebumps 46: Bad Hare Day (Goosebumps #41)

    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 Criss Angel's restaurant.  Talking points include: Rob Lowe Stine, jokes hi yeah, behold the middle, personal magic instructions, and porque no los dos roads diverged in a yellow wood.   You can check out our other activities, merch, and contact us at: https://www.mom-hat.com   You can support Geesebumps by sharing us with your friends, emailing us at geesebumpspod@gmail.com, and following us on tumblr!    You can also give us a positive review on your podcatcher of choice and one of our Stine's will shout you out!    Check out more cool stuff from us at: https://www.mom-hat.com   The intro/outro song of our show is "Bad Dream" by the band Dog Party from the album Hit And Run!

    Geesebumps 45: Night of the Living Dummy III (Goosebumps #40)
