Goosebumps VS Are You Afraid of the Dark?

OTR continues its spooky discussions past Halloween, with our debate of two classic creepy 90's kids shows! Lando backs Goosebumps, with Judge Mucci allowing some commentary on the books as well as the TV show, and gets into R.L. Stine's personal life and behaviors. Huy advocates for Are You Afraid of the Dark? and takes us through all the twists and turns of one of its most legal-themed episodes. In what direction will Judge Mucci's nostalgia pull him? Do any of these stories still stick with these podcasters well into their 30s? Listen to find out! Follow us on our socials: IG: @otr_debate Twitter: @OTRdebate FB: @otrdebate or on YouTube!
