It's Animorphs book 49, The Diversion, & we're so enthralled by it that we don't even take note of the episode number.

In addition to changing the whole dang status quo, we discuss: More Blood Pokemon!, Being The Only One On The Way To Work Who Looks Like They Recently Drowned, Rachel Giving Marco A Drunk Stick & Poke, Fuck A Circus, and Hatsune Miku Invented Pasteurisation

This was recorded just after our last episode came out four months ago. We have good intentions & I, personally, am doing something close to my best, thank you! Appropriately, it's book 48: The Return.

In addition to rat monarchy, we discuss: I Think I Just Missed You Guys, Tobias Would Identify Too Hard With Anakin, My Podcast Within-A-Podcast Crying About The Skywalkers, Jake's A Serial Killer AU, Jellyfish Are Made Of Good And Lightning

The six months between recording and posting this episode is a reference to the time travel in the book! Don't think about it too hard! We read book 47: The Resistance, which is about a real life war, unfortunately!!

In addition to being xtreeme teene bored, we discuss: A Camp Movie Where They Keep Cutting To Beavers Building A Dam, Doing Crosswords & Getting Into Wordplay, and Brain's A Strawberita

It sucks trying to capture that jaunty episode description tone when the book is just so sad. This book is so sad and so full of trauma and I don’t know how to do any sort of exclamation point about it or anything. We read Animorphs 46: The Deception and then talked about it.

In addition to I DON’T EVEN HAVE A PITHY JOKE FOR THIS SECTION, we discussed: Why Sara’s Brain Is Bigger Than Doctors’, We’re Not A Bong Family, Crossword Twitter, and Animorphs Is So Hard You Guys

Referenced media: This image for some fucking reason, not that i’m editorialising, but maybe i tried to edit out its inclusion but then it got referenced again so i had to put it back in, love my cohosts, would never judge them, wouldn’t dream of it, producing this podcast is a dream & i never think abt breaking into their homes to change their mic setups, a 1999 Toyota Yaris

ive been soooooo sick its late & i didnt put the theme music in & im not gonna put the theme music in & im not writing a description & im not sorry. be nice to me. IT’S ANIMORPHS BOOK 45: THE REVELATION & SPOILER THE TITLE IS REFERRING TO U REALISING U HAVE TO BE NICE TO ME.

In addition to general Marco feelings, we discuss: I Came Out To Have A Bad Time & I’m Honestly Feeling Very Attacky Right Now, Animorphs Noir, They’re All Just Looking For Dads, and King Of The Hill Animorphs AU

About forty minutes into this episode, one of the hosts just sort of starts photoshopping pictures of kangaroos and dropping them into the groupchat. That’s the energy we’re bringing to the analysis. It’s Animorphs book 44, The Unexpected, and we’re doin’ an outback daytrip.

In addition to barely parsing 143 pages of action, we discuss: I Hate Having To Confront The Person I Am, In-Universe Animorphs True Crime Podcast, I Don’t Pass The Mirror Test, and Animorphs Come To Canada

Y’all… we are in the home stretch now, and it shows. It’s book 43: The Test, and we’re spending time with Taylor the terrible torturer & being tender about Tobias’ trauma. Totally. Taxing talk.

In addition to the counteracting of jingoist propaganda for kids, we discuss: Gamer Corner: Outer Wilds, Andalites Have Posable Eyes, Tobias Doesn’t Know His Pasta Shapes, Doctor Who… Uh… Period, Mallrat AU, and Brunch Drinks

Returning to the studio after a few months with Animorphs book forty-one, The Familiar, where actually… nothing is very familiar. Think of who you were at age fifteen and come on this journey with us.

In addition to being generally befuddled, we discuss: Death Note Yaoi, Star Wars Didn’t Exist Until Three Years Ago, High Quality Pictures Of Slim Goodbody, I Assume Somewhere Blair Is Screaming, Always Needing Interrogation Maybe or Monday is Monday funnier, and Advent Calendar Of Trauma

Welcome to our wonderful life diving into the classic “what if something had never happened” trope with the fourth & final Megamorphs! Join us as we watch Cassie become unstuck in time, hear Marco and Rachel grow closer together, and see the life of all of our favourite characters extinguished one by one. It’s Animorphs, baby!

In addition to whatever it was we talked abt when we recorded this more than two months ago, sorry, my bad, we discuss: The Third Host Emily Swashbuckle, Mostly Clothed On The Internet & Drinkin’ Coffee, Blair’s Beef, and Little Shitty Arms
