    X-Men: E is for Extinction with Ben Joseph

    It's time to stop blasting sentinels and dive into the cosmic jazz of podcasting! Your host Chad Quandt is joined by writer Ben Joseph (Invincible Fight Girl, Dropout, Star Trek: Lower Decks) to cover a bold relaunch of the X-Men from 2001 by Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely. New enemy Cassandra Nova invades the mansion, we learn about secondary mutations, and we meet old/new character Emma Frost. How did this comic influence Ben's own storytelling? What's his dream team of mutants? And is Xavier always walking around with a gun?

  2. Baywatch Nights: The Creature with Domi

    Baywatch Nights: The Creature with Domi

    This podcast is a mutant-- a mermaid/frog/siren/cat that just wants to survive in a strange world. Also when threatened we will explode like we're filled with C4. Host Chad Quandt is joined by returning guest Domi (Paperback Paradise, Goosebuds co-founder!) to cover another episode of the 'cult classic' Baywatch Nights. In "The Creature" David Hasselhoff's Mitch is brought in to investigate a strange woman who escaped from a lab and is maybe a killer frog. Kinda like those Hunter monsters from Resident Evil? But hot? Well, hotter? While Mitch runs into places with an unregistered gun, Angie Harmon's Ryan looks at loose meat cells. Did this story stick to us? Join our Patreon for bonus episodes and more!

  3. The Buried Secret of M. Night Shyamalan with Kayla Cline

    The Buried Secret of M. Night Shyamalan with Kayla Cline

    Something sinister is hidden in the history of auteur M Night Shyamalan, and only one documentarian Nathaniel Khan can figure it out. Except... this documentary is a fraud scam? In 2004 M Night had fake documentary The Buried Secret of M. M. Night Shyamalan made for the Sci-Fi channel to promote his upcoming film The Village. It blew up spectacularly and few saw it. Except for our guest illustrator and game-maker Kayla Cline (All Elite Wrestling, Heckna, The Rite of Rumble) who watched this live on late night cable. Kayla and host Chad Quandt go scene-by-scene through this glorious disaster of a vanity project. We uncover the big, buried questions: Who are the psychic hackers on M.Night's website? Does M. Night have a magical domain in Philadelphia? And who is his friend Henry the Dead Victorian Boy? Join our Patreon for bonus episodes and more! Follow us @storiesthatstick on BlueSky!

    Independence Day with Ed Skudder

    Behold the first official episode of Stories That Stick. What sort of magnificent acclaimed story are we covering first? (checks notes) Roland Emmerich's 1996 super blockbuster Independence Day?! Director and showrunner Ed Skudder (The Super Mario Bros Movie, Unikitty!, Dick Figures) joins host Chad Quandt to talk about why this movie caused a ripple effect through all future summer blockbusters including Ed's work, how it turbo-launched the careers of Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum, and why three decades later it still holds up. We also discuss being blockbuster scumbags, the chronology of the Fast franchise, and Apex Presidents.

    Announcing... Stories That Stick & Goosebuds Returns!

    Hey listeners, I'm excited to share some big changes to the podcast! If you've been listening this past year we've already made format changes-- covering wider ranges of nostalgic media as it shifts into a solo-host show. This two-month break gave me the breathing room I need to figure out what gets me most excited for the show and what will build off we're already doing. Let's get into it! Stories That Stick is our new main format-- inviting funny and insightful guests on to talk about classic media (books, movies, TV, games!) that have stories that 'stuck' with them. I wanna talk about not just how wild these stories are, but how they were formative for the guests and inspire them. And sometimes we'll revisit something we thought was great but actually kinda stunk. But we'll figure out why they still resonated with us! The last six months of the show are basically already this format, now with a clearer vision and names. And Goosebuds will live on as a monthly bonus episode! Hosted by myself and Associate Producer Jakylln Heidi who's read ten times the amount of Young Adult books as me. I'm excited to dive back into the works of R.L. Stine, K.A. Applegate, and other classics. That's available on Patreon, along with our other bonus show Campfire Hang, ad-free versions of the show, and our community Discord. All at patreon.com/storiesthatstick. Thank you for listening to Goosebuds in the past and thank you for continuing on this podcast journey with me.

    Goosebuds is back in October!

    Hey Goosebuds listeners, your host Chad here. Those on the Patreon have already gotten a heads up– but Goosebuds is taking a two month pause– from August and September. The reason is I’ve been swamped in work at my day job. By the way, I can finally announce I’ve been working these past two years as lead writer on the upcoming series Avatar: Seven Havens. That’s about the elemental warriors; not the James Cameron blue cat people. Goosebuds will return in the spookiest month of October, with great guests and topics lined up. It’s meant a lot to have many of you accompany me on this new version of the podcast– expanding beyond R.L. Stines works and covering other media that gives us goosebumps.  But we can’t do this show without you wonderful supporters on Patreon. Not only do you get access to bonus Camp Goosebuds episodes and our Discord, but you shape the direction of the show. Want us to cover specific media? Want us to rotate in more R.L. Stine? Then join the Patreon. That’s patreon.com/goosebuds. Hope you have a good rest of your summer. We'll see you all in October.
