Goosebump’s Isa Briones & Ana Yi Puig on Fresh Nostalgia, Trauma, and a 90’s Soundtrack

Isa Briones & Ana Yi Puig join Kyle Meredith to talk about the new Goosebumps series, out now on Disney+ and Hulu. This latest iteration finds the popular R.L. Stine books given a fresh take and a bit more of an adult storyline, following a group of five high schoolers who embark on a shadowy and twisted journey to investigate the tragic passing three decades earlier of a teen named Harold Biddle — while also unearthing dark secrets from their parents’ past. Alongside Briones and Puig, the series also stars Zach Morris, Miles McKenna, Will Price, Rachael Harris, Justin Long, Rob Huebel, and Jonathan Silverman, among others. The actresses discuss bringing a fresh take to the reboot, allowing for nostalgia while creating their own version, and making sure there are still easter eggs connecting us to the original series. Briones and Puig also talk about the trauma bonding these characters go through, what they inherit from their parents, and how when even being chased by a ghost demon, they’re still able to form a love triangle. Of course, the soundtrack is also a big topic with its heavy 90s throwback featuring R.E.M, Radiohead, Soundgarden, and Elastica next to artists like Courtney Barnet and Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
