We talk about Book 17! That is, the crew fights a tarantula, discover a batcave, and almost get buried alive! Also, we want to bring VHS tapes back, voice acting is awesome, and did Zach imagine the Animorphs toys? Plus, we get a very special guest: Emily, the official "Rachel" voice actor from Scholastic's audiobooks for the series. Check it out!

The return of the snake draft for favorite and most meaningful video games, this time the stellar year of 1997. Turns out videogames were good that year too!

We talk about Book 16! That is, Jake has a really bad time as a fly, we meet a pretty wild new character, and it's rhino time! Also, we are unsure how ghosts determine where they haunt, you used to do so much more at airports, and do the authors actually understand the internet?

We talk about Book 15! That is, Marco has some shark-anger issues, the Yeerks have an underwater plan (complete with glass submarines), and the stakes at the end have never been higher! Also, would kids understand the Muppet Babies, 90s pools were over-chlorinated, and do aliens simply speak with other formatting?

We talk about Book 14! That is, we seem to hit our very first genuinely bad book, top secret experts apparently don't know how to plan or handle top secrets, and Cassie again got stuck with a weak plot! Also, we pair this experience with a much-needed beverage, where does this story fall within the grand general fiction universe, and is it interesting to know about missions that don't accomplish things? Plus, we get a very special group of guests: Mike, Nate, and Jimmy, longtime podcast hosts of the pod "Drunk Guys Book Club". Check it out!

Alex, Patrick, and Zach get carried away and dive deep into dishwashing lore, figuring out just how much we hate the whole thing. Anyways, probably the bigger deal is discussing the first of a four-book arc, the 1989 classic "My Teacher is an Alien!" by Bruce Coville. You remember this one, right? Does it hold up?

There is a resurgence in popularity of Richard's Animorphs Forum, an old school forum that could be just the place for our newest Animorphs theory!

We talk about Book 13! That is, Tobias continues to be moody and live with the consequences of breaking the ONE RULE, the Visser falls for kind of a silly plan, and there is controversy in the subculture about when exactly to read this book! Also, is Alex now a big Tobias fan, what is the Ellimist's deal, really, and is this the origin for the Hidden Valley brand? Plus, we get a very special guest: Gabriel Bergmoser, author of the book "The Hunted", and Animorphs blogging superfan (Animorphs Revisited). Check it out!

We have had fun creating a few Animorphs-themed ads in our book-related episodes. Maybe you've caught them, maybe you haven't, but here are the Season 1 commercial fun bits to consume all at once!

We talk about Book 12! That is, this is definitely the puberty book, the story goes a little off the rails, we have many thinly-disguised pop culture references, and what a weird way to portray allergies! Also, did teen heart throbs have that much influence, does Hook have the right message, and are we qualified to discuss this character for this one (thus, the guest inclusion!)? Plus, we get a very special guest: Kendra, author of the YA book "Hole in the Middle". Check it out!

We just got wind that there's a new relaunch of the book series coming in 2026! Let's talk about it in this new, shorter, unscheduled mini-episode!

The boys discuss quite a bit, including blurting out phrases without knowing what they mean, what is the worst a little kid could bad-dream about, and surprising each other with some of their choices (what is an Ax-pick designed to be, anyway?) as well as doing a snake draft of our top movies from 1997, another year that Animorphs were out! Will we have an all-out brawl for who grabs the top movies of this particular year? Find out!

We talk about Book 9! That is, Cassie only thought she knew things about nature, the skunk for some reason isn't the cover art animal choice, and a good ol' tomato/grape juice switcharoo. Also, just how old are "oldies" songs, because time passing sure is wild, and what it takes to commit to a 10+ year project.

Cassie takes the lead in one of the most environmentally charged entries in the Animorphs series. In Book #9 – The Secret, the Animorphs uncover a Yeerk plot involving illegal logging operations in the forest. As Cassie struggles with the moral weight of violence and the ethics of morphing, the team faces a ticking clock and a swarm of termites that might just be their most terrifying morph yet.

We break down the book’s environmental themes, Cassie’s internal conflict, and the group’s evolving dynamics. Expect discussions about Yeerk strategy, forest sabotage, and the surprisingly emotional implications of becoming a bug. Also: we debate whether this book is secretly a horror story.

Topics Covered:

• Cassie’s moral compass and leadership style

• Environmentalism and eco-terrorism in YA fiction

• The Yeerks’ resource extraction strategy

• Termite morphing: body horror or brilliant tactic?

• Group dynamics and the cost of secrecy

It’s Ax time! In Book #8 – The Alien, we finally get a glimpse into the mind of Aximili-Esgarrouth-Isthill, the lone Andalite stranded on Earth. As Ax navigates human culture, fast food, and the burden of secrecy, the Animorphs begin to question what it really means to trust an alien ally.

We explore Ax’s internal conflict, his loyalty to his people versus his new human friends, and the cultural misunderstandings that make this book both hilarious and heartbreaking. Plus: cinnamon buns, TV addiction, and the ethics of withholding critical information in a war.

Topics Covered:

• Ax’s character development and cultural identity

• Andalite society and military hierarchy

• The role of humor in Ax’s narrative voice

• Trust, loyalty, and betrayal within the Animorphs

• Cinnamon buns as a metaphor for assimilation

We read the Goosebumps book that reminds Zach the most of Animorphs (you know, turning into animals and stuff!), but the book is... not that great? We have a great time heckling it though. Was this a poor choice or is Goosebumps not actually good? Yet, brussels sprouts ARE actually good? Anything is good with bacon, downloading music onto CDs wasn't hard, and we remember audio formats of days past.

We discuss the horror of involuntary control, the ethics of Yeerk imprisonment, and the emotional fallout of Jake’s experience. Also: hospital infiltration, Yeerk Pool logistics, and the worst hot tub in sci-fi history.

Topics Covered:

• Jake’s trauma and leadership under pressure

• Yeerk biology and consciousness

• The morality of starving sentient beings

• Hospital morphing tactics and infiltration

• The Animorphs’ growing desperation
