It Came From The Thrift Store...Galaxy Of Fear #2: City Of The Dead

It Came From The Thrift Store...Galaxy Of Fear #2: City Of The Dead

Bethany is breaking her "no talking about Star Wars on the internet" rule for this one...but really, it's easy to avoid the worst parts of Star Wars fandom when you're talking about Lucasfilm's shameless Goosebumps rip off, Galaxy of Fear! These books are fun genre mash ups that Jessica remembers fondly as favourites that she took out from the library in the late 90s. Content Warning: City Of The Dead (and our discussion of it) contains mentions of child death, child endangerment, parental death, and grief. Take care of yourselves, gentle souls.

Time Machine To Spring Break 1986: Stranger Things 4

We've finally caught up to the present...the past...whenever it is...we're talking Stranger Things 4, gentle souls. It's arguably the most gruesome season, but it's also probably our favourite. It's thematically rich and introduces new characters that capture (and break) our hearts. Frankenstein, The Empire Strikes Back, A Nightmare On Elm Street, and Silence Of The Lambs are all key texts for this season--and we love it! Find out who our favourite couple is on the show, what we think might happen in Stranger Things 5, and just how much fan fiction Bethany reads (it's a lot).

The Nutcracker Scoob (1984)

Welcome back, gentle souls! We’re recapping the final episode of The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries, The Nutcracker Scoob (1984). Other than The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, we're not super familiar with 1980s Scooby-Doo so this was an adventure. The Scooby gang got an unfortunate update for the 1980s, with Velma being replaced by the insufferable Scrappy-Doo. Mystery solving gets over-shadowed by hijinks and too many Christmas references. And Bethany’s got some theories about the influence of Ronald Reagan on the episode’s villain… It's Dangerous To Go Alone: https://dressember-ca2025.funraise.org/fundraiser/jessica-crewe [https://dressember-ca2025.funraise.org/fundraiser/jessica-crewe] Follow us on Instagram @scarysouppod Our email address: scarysouppod@gmail.com [scarysouppod@gmail.com]

Coming Soon: The Nutcracker Scoob (1984)

Hello, gentle souls! It's dangerous out there and our podcasting plans got derailed by life...we're hitting pause on recapping Stranger Things for a week so that we can catch our breath and enjoy some family time. But we're still dropping a new episode--it's just going to be a couple days late. Coming to you Sunday morning is our thoughts on the final episode of The New Scooby-Doo Mysteries, The Nutcracker Scoob (1984). Other than The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo, we're not super familiar with 1980s Scooby-Doo so this will be an adventure. Will we find the gang updated for the 1980s? Will all the tropes make an appearance? Will we get more Shaggy Lore? Who can say? Tune in Sunday to find out!
