Remember Animorphs? Neither do we. We're reading our way through Animorphs and reconnecting with our childhood. Read along with us!
Oh my goddddd it's happening! The Helmacrons are here! This is not a drill!
We wrap up Season 4 and we're grading on a curve so we get an A
Ax launches himself firmly into first place for "worst Animorph ever"
We say the word "gross" probably 3 times per minute in this episode
Rachel does not meet our already pretty low expectations for a leader
Little Mermaid, but she collects taxidermied people instead of sporks
Both Vissers end up on trial for things they definitely did, but categorically deny
Cassie is possessed by the evil ghost of Aldrea, but also manages the coolest morph of all time
Unfortunately this book isn't about the magic show kind of illusions
Rachel is attacked and seriously injured and everyone is mean to her as a result
Season 3 comes to a close and we were like 50% right
Honestly Erik needs to learn how to take care of himself, he's 5000 years old.
Special guest Sam joins us for an adventure with the Helmacrons
The Ellimist is back and not a single person is surprised (except Elfangor)
Ever tried drinking a Dr. Pepper through your hoof?
As Season Two comes to a close, we spend some time reviewing and recapping to get charged up for Season Three.
This book is all about Time Travel Shenanigans and Borg Ants (which we do not approve of). We also learn that Cassie is a trained dinosaur cobbler.
Ax is shocked and appalled because someone withholds information from him. This leads to absolutely no introspection on his part.
This week's book reminds us that the 90s were a terrible time for empathy and compassion for others. Yay! TW: Addiction and Suicide
Our first returning guests, Maddy and Lucy, join us for a discussion of The Internet
Brother of the Pod Garrett joins us and proclaims that the Animorphs are actually eco terrorists.
Today's episode is a graduate level seminar on alien wars, so I hope you did the reading.
The Ellimist is back and, surprise surprise, he continues to be the most manipulative creature in existence.
It takes us a full 30 minutes before we start ranting about Jake this time, but only because we got distracted by all of Rachel's bad choices.
Our season 2 premiere! This week we have special guest Maddy who has a lot of thoughts and some great improv skills.
We review everything we've learned from the first 10 books (spoiler: not as much as we'd hoped) and discuss all of our hopes and dreams for the next 10 books.
The final book of Season One featuring special guest Dan, who prepared SEVENTEEN pages of notes for this episode.
High drama on today's episode - our special guest Lucy thinks that Jake doesn't suck! A new opinion that varies wildly from ours!
Whoops we forgot about this one! Please enjoy some sloppy out of order podcasting where we learn about the effects of brain damage on morphs and get more evidence that Visser 3 is farther from that promotion than he thinks.
Our first foray into an Andalite mind. Ax is the narrator this week and holy guacamole he's having a bad time. Jake defends humanity as not that bad, so you can guess how we feel about that.
The first episode recorded during Shelter In Place! The sound quality sucks but guess what deal with it. Unsurprisingly, Jake is still mediocre.
Today we have a special guest, the amazing Sam! She's a long-time Animorphs fan and does a great job of answering our questions without spoiling everything. We love her. All three of us don't like Jake.
The first big twist of the series! We are shocked! Things we continue to not be shocked by: Jake is a bad leader.
In this episode we talk about magic, immortality, and morphing as the new allergy shots. And we FINALLY get some answers on the ethics of morphing. Jake continues to suck.
