Are we the only Animorphs podcast to go long on Book 12? Should we feel sorry for Jeremy Jason McCole? Will we ever see Rachel have deep relationships with the other Animorphs? And is the verb “scooting” the invisible thread holding the Animorphs series together? All this and more as we finish Book 12: The Reaction!

An especially silly book introduces some game-changing (game-breaking?) mechanics in its back half, and we have *questions*. Could Rachel’s morph allergy be exploited to produce countless clones? If Cassie can acquire Rachel as a morph, why doesn’t the gang just all start morphing their parents? Is Marco the llama our favorite thing in this series yet?

Book 12!! Part 3!! We are hurtling through book 12 with the force of a lebtin javelin fish’s spear! By this point, at least one of us can confidently say child star Jeremy Jason McCole’s name from memory.

Why does Marco want to wet himself? Did we just get KA Applegate’s first successful description of an alien? Does Visser 3 babysit for all of his human controllers? And why why why is no one catching Chris’ slippage?!

Book 12!! Part 2!! Itchy, warm feelings and uncontrollable bodies abound in our most puberty-brained episode yet. Rachel involuntarily morphs into an elephant while reading about her crush— and then just keeps morphing…  

Why do adults seem to be especially dangerous in Rachel books? Do finger guns have bisexual energy? Will any of us be able to remember Jeremy Jason McCole’s name by the end of the episode?

P.S. The thing Chris googled in the cold open was "Tort Horny"

Book 12!! Part 1!! The Anidorks have gone from the ant colony to the Amazon rainforest, from a dystopian future to space itself. But nothing— nothing!!— could have prepared us for the hormonal, parasocial chaos of Book 12.

Have the Anidorks ever been this divided on a book? Is Rachel stupidly brave or lovably impulsive? Is Jeremy Jason McCole just Jonathan Taylor Thomas? And what the hell do you mean there’s no Gedd Chronicles?

Hello fellow Anidorks, 

We’re taking this week off as a little catch-up before we drop the first episode of book 12 next week. Then we’re going to end our second season with five or six episodes of The Andalite Chronicles. Assuming that we do another megasode where we talk about the season as a whole and catch up with our new friends the Veleek, the Chee, Charise, that’ll push us out to early to mid November for the end of the season. We’ll take December off and then kick off season 3 with Book 13 in the new year. Patreon subscribers will continue to get their content uninterrupted.

Anyway, sorry to stress you all out by making you all think about how quickly 2023 is passing by! See you all next week as Rachel deals with a gnarly allergy and the three of us become more divided on a book than we’ve EVER. BEEN. Before.

Hey, what's that sound? Everybody look, what's going down? Eddy test Miranda and Chris's memories of sounds they've never actually heard. Lots of big text like "WHOOOOMP" and "RRRRRAAAOWOWOWOWOWRWRRRZERS".

Book 11!! Part 4!! The Animorphs are still lost in the rainforest, and the Anidorks are still lost in Book 11. Eddy can’t tell jaguars from cheetahs, Miranda will never forget Eddie Murphy’s 2003 movie The Haunted Mansion, and Chris is convinced that the Anidorks are stuck in a (Ro)Sario (Dawson) Rip of their own. 

Is Visser 3 the first character to successfully execute a plan in the series? Did we get our first case of “weaponized acquisition”? Does Jake need glasses? Does anything in this book matter? Are these books made of matter?? What's the matter with these books???

Book 11!! Part 3!!! Things get strange once the gang crash lands in the rainforest and Jake’s the last one to reunite with the group. Miranda believes things might be weird in a “An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge” kind of way, which leads Chris to ask: does being the last to show up to a party always mean that all of your friends are already dead? 

Meanwhile, Eddy’s wondering if piranhas are really that deadly, or if they’re just unfortunate victims of the vile anti-swarm agenda. And did we just learn, eleven books in, that the piss does not, in fact, go with? Book 11 rules!!!

Book 11!! Part 2!!! Most of Book 11 takes place in the rainforest, but you wouldn’t know it from the pace at which the Anidorks are reading it! Shit truly hits the fan in this  episode and we are doing our best to keep up. Does Jake’s dad have work friends or “work friends”? Does Chris know at least one thing about every sport? Do Taxxons have asses?
