Morphin' Buddies episodes
- The TV Series: Episodes 1 and 2
We finally start the tv series! With weird dialogue, hanging pauses, and a severe lack of energy, Kacey and Gianni try to work out why this pilot episode doesn't feel quite right.
Then, an acting exercise, some genuine compliments, and an actual "why did they leave this running take in?". Real confusion and laughter follow behind.
Stop your half running and screaming at wires and come experience the tv show with us!

In this episode, Gianni and Kacey dive into their own private writer's room, explaining how tv and film differ before discussing how they would design the Animorphs pilot episode.
Questions are asked, plots are created, character arcs are structured, and maybe it's a little educational?? Come help us build the first episode in our dream scenario!

This is it folks; the moment we've all worked towards. The last book in the Animorphs series!
We open with a very enthusiastic Gianni hosting The Buddies with a special guest! Then we catch up on our listener emails and get a TWIST ENDING. Finally, we talk about how the last book was very much like the series as a whole.
Once we're wrapped with the book, we talk about what comes next and invite our Buddies to email on what they'd like to see after we watch the tv series. Not to mention, Gianni has a sweet reveal at the end of this episode.
All this and so much more in this GIANT episode.

This week, backstabbing, sneaking, and a plot heavy book have us thinking is this Jake's best book? First, we catch up on emails: plot holes, the Chee, Gianni's neck size, and a hot take!
Then we talk about distinguishing the ghostwritten books vs Applegate and Grant's writings, what kind of sounds would a Taxxon make, and a good cliff hanger ending. We guess how the series will wrap up and tease a potential new awards show.
All that and more in this week's episode with the penultimate book!!

This week, we dive into the mysterious back story of The Ellimist! We start off with an in tune fan mail and a LinkedIn update.
Then, how the heck do you read the first third of this book?? Aliens measure things in years and miles? What is a mones and how does one spread it? Someone dies??? WHAT ARE THE RULES HERE?
Finally, we end on our death tier list, a deranged idea, and a goal. All that and more in this week's episode!

The Ax centric book that ends with a BLAST! We start rolling down a log ride and talk about a possible Snapple sponsorship (probably not but it would be fun!)
Then, our silly moods get ready to set the stage for Cassie to suck and we talk about Rachel's character assassination once again. Plus, da bomb. Yes, we actually blow something up!
All that and more in this week's episode

Our first in person recording! Kacey heads to Gianni's home to share a very sweet gift one of our Buddies sent. Then we go over listener emails and talk about our thoughts on Crayak and the Ellimist.
Then, duck morphs at the zoo, a lesson in communicating better, and a glove argument! We follow that with discussion on whether or not Tobias should be able to morph, first scene in a TV show vs first scene in a movie, and a genius buffa-human plushie idea!
Lastly, the concept of dips are gross. All that and more in this very special episode!

Social for Kacey: Instagram- @kaceeyyyyyy1 hr 49 min - Book 50 - The Ultimate
This Cassie centric book almost made us lose our minds. (WE'RE UPSET) We begin with fan mail about Hork Bajir and a potential plot change that could really help the narrative. Followed by a wonderful representation of the disabled community so much inclusivity (yay!). But then the adults are awful, the cube gets stolen, and Cassie needs to go straight to jail.
Then, a discussion on the freedom of choice, the importance of consequences, and Jake finally gets the beat down that's been coming to him. All that and more in this week's episode!

Somehow, someway, this episode was PLAGUED with technical issues: bad wifi, computer not charging, and connection issues but as the horror's persist, so do we! (I heard Mercury was in Gatorade at this time!)
Tobias gets reunited with his mom! We talk about blood centers, a return of tech we haven't seen in a while, and forklift shenanigans. Plus, lessons in doubling down and please for the love of everything that is holy, TELL US THE PLAN.
Let's get sloppy in today's episode with potentially Tobias' best book!

We jump right into the book this week with a surprise return of some of our most HATED characters: David, Crayak, and the Drode. There's a big Yeerk attack on the White House! Or is there?? Gianni places a cursed image in Kacey's head that she can't shake. Plus, a debate on how to get away with stealing hundreds of dollar bills.
What are the rules and how will Rachel change moving forward? How much is 200 rats exactly and how can you tell? A battle with Visser 1, rapping rhymes, and Gianni can't tell Tobias from Jake. All that in this week's episode!
