Stagione 1

It Came From The Thrift Store...Fear Street Super Chiller: Goodnight Kiss

Velcome back, gentle souls! Ve promise ve von't suck your blood! That's right, we're talking vampires this week as we break down Goodnight Kiss, by R.L. Stine. It's a vampires-at-the-beach story that pairs well with Joel Schumacher's The Lost Boys. And we get a little bit into theories of why some books capture your imagination and others don't. Nancy Pearl talks about the four doorways to reading: https://youtu.be/WjDMbixPSeQ?si=QZheRW8pADMuAtS5 Follow us on Instagram @scarysouppod Our email address: scarysouppod@gmail.com

A Clue For Scooby Doo: Scooby Doo, Where Are You? (Season 1, Episode 2)

Ruh-roh, gentle souls! This episode of Scooby Doo brings up Bethany's completely rational worry that is she ever scuba dives she'll get the bends and Jessica's childhood fear of being swept away in an undertow. We also talk more Shaggy Lore, discuss the questionable physics of cartoons, and desperately try to remember what the heck book we're reading for the next episode. Oh, and Bethany has a couple of suggestions for horror and horror-adjacent movies to pair with this episode of Scooby Doo, Where Are You?

MadLibs: Jason Lives - Friday The 13th Part VI (1986)

We're playing MadLibs again! And because it's summer, we're talking about the most iconic summer camp horror franchise, Friday The 13th. Rather than starting at the beginning with 1980's titular film, Bethany decided to watch the 6th film in the series: 1986's Jason Lives. That's right, we're diving into the middles period of slashers. The formula was already becoming stale by this point, but we're still years away from reinvention's like Wes Craven's New Nightmare (1994) and Scream (1996). Join us as Bethany breaks down the time that Friday The 13th dipped its toes in meta humour and leaned into dark comedy. Jess picks the MadLibs words this time, so the summary is truly random.

Time Machine To November 1987: Stranger Things 5

It's the end of an era, gentle souls! Join us to discuss the final season of Stranger Things. We talk about the value of communal cinematic experiences, the difficulties of world-building through seasons of television with varying tones, and why Nancy Wheeler is one of our favourite fictional characters ever. As with all art, your mileage may vary. Ours certainly did. But ultimately, we found meaningful and cathartic moments that will stick with us.

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 Follow us on Instagram @scarysouppod Our email address: scarysouppod@gmail.com

Time Machine To Summer 1985: Stranger Things 3 (2019)

Code Red, gentle souls! On Friday, we’re flashing back to the summer of 1985. Remember the mall? Remember summer break shenanigans with friends? Remember…a giant goo monster terrorizing you while the Russians invade your small town? Just us? The Stranger Things family continues to grow this season, with the addition of Maya Hawke’s Robin and the promotion of Priah Ferguson’s Erica to regular cast. We are both here for every moment with our beloved Scoops Troop. We’re less fond of the simplification of Hopper’s character into a brawling action cop. We talk influences, that mall culture vibe, and the sweetest Russian scientist to ever grace the screen: our dearly departed Alexei. Come along as we revisit our friends in Hawkins all month long! That means bonus episodes, because we wanted to give each season its own episode. And we'll also be dropping a mini-episode with our first impressions of Stranger Things 5, Volume 1!

Time Machine To Halloween 1984: Stranger Things 2 (2017)

Do you copy, gentle souls? We're back to talk about Stranger Things 2! We love the blossoming father-daughter relationship between Hopper and Eleven, Steve and Dustin's bromance, and our sweet cinnamon roll Bob Newby! We're breaking down the meta casting of Paul Reiser, how the Duffers decided to expand the scope of their world, and why Steve is the best mom (among several excellent moms) in the show. Come along as we revisit our friends in Hawkins all month long! That means bonus episodes (like this one!), because we wanted to give each season its own episode. And we'll also be dropping a mini-episode with our first impressions of Stranger Things 5, Volume 1!

Time Machine To November 1983: Stranger Things (2016)

Do you copy, nerds? Has it really been almost a decade since we first visited Hawkins, Indiana? Bethany and Jessica jumped on the Stranger Things hype train pretty early and never got off. Bethany has rewatched the series multiple times, but this is Jessica's first rewatch. This show has so many things we love: found families, complicated characters, and a compelling mystery.
