The GooseDown #11 - The Haunted Mask

To round out the "big 3" long running stories/themes with Slappy the Dummy and Monster Blood, we have the first story involving a certain shopkeeper's long lost masks. We cover the protagonist's relationships with other angst-ridden youths in fiction, artificial life trying to exist in a real space, and the differences between the TV and book versions of one of the most famous Goosebumps stories around.

South Kongress #72 - Squad Up

This week, the guys talk about the "pros vs. joes" gap, asking people to go back to their county, and the times they were rejected by women. One hosts' story is a bit more detailed. Cam also gives an update on the auto theft situation, and why the police are gre...goo... why they did their job properly in this instance.

The GooseDown #10 - The Ghost Next Door

Ten books in, I think this is the best story to date. We follow Hannah Fairchild's trek from kid to detective to guardian angel over the course of a summer, as she tries to uncover the truth about her new neighbor. Real danger, real consequences, and real emotion hit home, and it's the toughest re-read yet. All this, and a post office worker with a shotgun on this week's episode!

The GooseDown #9 - Welcome To Camp Nightmare

This week's episode continues the trend of the unreliable narrator, as we navigate the scariest place a 12 year old can visit - summer camp! We probably have our strongest protagonist, as he faces monsters, kidnapping, and real deal murder. I also make a few comparisons to certain comic book locales, and take a few shots at M. Night Shyalaman.

The GooseDown #8 - The Girl Who Cried Monster

*CHECK OUT THE SOUTH KONGRESS PATREON!* https://www.patreon.com/ceehawk This week's book is the first in the series to introduce the unreliable narrator trope, and play a true cat and mouse game. Based on the "boy who cried wolf" adage, we follow Lucy on her path to be proven right, and explore the mindset of the misunderstood child, as well as the misunderstood parent. All this, and some John Goodman/Denzel Washington appreciation.

The GooseDown #6 - Let's Get Invisible!

The best thing about 'Let's Get Invisible!' is that the next book is 'Night of the Living Dummy'. It's the first miss in a string of hits, mainly because it presents a cool idea, but waits till the end of the book to get it out there. It does have some well developed characters, but it's a better movie that book, and that movie's called 'Us'. I talk about all this and more boxing names on this week's episode!

Thank to everyone for supporting the new show! This week, we talk about the second story in the Goosebumps series, it's tie in with 'The Fly', and it's overarching idea of "can you trust adults?"
