hi everybody! carey here on behalf of megan and carey with a quick logistical note. morph club is switching from soundcloud to anchor for episode hosting! the old episodes will still be accessible once we redirect the feed, so it should hopefully be a seamless experience on the listening end. But most soundcloud episodes will be hidden once we down…

It's the wrap-up episode! We build a full-on red string bulletin board map of Crayak & Ellimist plots, answer your questions, talk about some wonderful fanfics (bit.ly/morphfics), and touch on what we have planned next. And of course, we circle back around to the Morph Club Thesis: did you know that Animorphs is an extremely good series? We think s…

Megan and Carey read THE LAST BOOK!!! buckle your seatbelts because this book spans like 4 years and will make you feel every emotion. And also manages to fit in multiple references to the cinnabon franchise. HOW IS THIS THE END ALREADY but also THESE KIDS WENT THROUGH SO MUCH IN SO SHORT A TIME? process all these feelings along with us.Intro music…

Megan & Carey read the penultimate Animorphs book: Book 53: The Answer! Listen in real time as we, like these woefully unprepared teens, are ground into nothing before the unrelenting march of war. Did that make sense? I'm really not sure because this book took my brain and put it through the WRINGER, Y'ALL. We're not ready for the end but we are, …

Megan and Carey get their souls crushed(again)when they read Animorphs 52: The Sacrifice! Ax is all grown up and everyone is suffering! The end is coming for us and it's a rough time! At least we get one last gorilla-in-a-car moment, I guess.Intro music is a clip from "All of Us"(freemusicarchive.org/music/Eric_Ski…04_-_all_of_us) and outro music i…

Megan and Carey read Book 51: The Absolute! This book is... kind of a fun romp, honestly? We meet the governor of California! The Animorphs fall in love with her (and so do we). Ax is in truly fine form. Tobias shows off his flying (and... driving...?) skills. Cassie and Jake have very little screen time but manage to devastate us anyway. Capers co…

Megan and Carey experience Animorphs 50: The Ultimate. That meddling blue cube comes back again! The Animorphs kind of get a win but it still feels soul-crushing?? Everyone is having a bad time. Can't express how much. Also: this is the book that introduces the 'Auxiliary Animorphs' so we have some poorly articulated confused feelings.some blog pos…

Megan & Carey read book 49: The Diversion!This is a good one! We recommend reading it. And buckling up, because things are moving very quickly to a point of no return.... and then blazing right past it. No turning back now! Tobias and Rachel have a sweet, weird date. Jake makes some tough decisions. Families are lost and found.Intro music is a clip…

We finally did it! Megan and Carey watched the last episodes of the Animorphs TV show! We stumble through the last hurrah for the television versions of our fave animorph teens: a school dance! mall search party! some nerd kid's alien movie! a brainwashing sitcom! secret yeerk resistance club! and morphing a variety of professional TV animals that …

Megan & Carey read book 48: The Return! In which: Rats are irresponsible financiers. Teens are foolishly trusting. Wartime challenges are considered. Morals are grappled with. So are horrible controllers, because Rachel and Visser 1 have an all-out, no-holds-barred cage match*! *Rachel is imprisoned in a literal cage. Nobody has a good time. Intro …

Brace your pods, Megan and Carey read the Ellimist Chronicles with Hanni Brosh! (@saffronscarf)Honestly, who foresaw that the Ellimist's backstory was being a bird person who lived on a hovering crystal and plays endless games of Spore? But now that we're here, there's no choice but to get our hearts broken by a horrifying and strangely hopeful spa…

Megan & Carey read Animorphs 47: The Resistance!Jake sure does have a great-great-grunkle who fought in the Union army in the civil war, huh. He sure does read a journal all about it interspersed with the present-day action in this book, huh. We talk through and about that storyline and its pitfalls in the first ~25 minutes of the ep, and then devo…

Carey & Megan read Animorphs 46: The Deception! Remember when Ax discovered the magic of flavors? Remember teaching him how to act like a regular teen? Those days are super gone and our alien friend is making horrible decisions that make nobody happy. Turns out war with aliens is just not a fun time, who would have thought? But man, do we love thes…

Megan and Carey watched episodes 23 & 24 of the Animorphs TV show! It's the penultimate batch of tv episodes!! Can you believe it!! Breakout stars include: Ax's big TV-original-mall-sitcom debut;Visser 3's brief but deeply appreciated appearance; a whole bunch of really excellent 90s outfits; An Actual, Factual Bear; a 10-shot closeup headshot sequ…

It's the beginning of the end and Marco has a very terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Join us as we talk about Animorphs #45: The Revelation. We recommend checking this book out before listening, it's worth wading through a bunch of filler for. We're coping with the intense stakes and heartbreaking consequences by focusing on things like: A…

Megan & Carey read book 44: The Unexpected! Which it certainly WAS. We allowed ourselves to hope, for one brief moment, that Cassie going to Australia might be part of some kind of... relaxation break. Perhaps one of your human "Vacations." Tragically, we were, as always, completely wrong. BUT DON'T GIVE UP YET! The battle wages on!! We found a lot…

We knew from the image of the Taxxon on the cover that this book would be rough, but we weren't really ready for....this. Megan & Carey survive The Test, wherein Tobias and friends are having a REALLY bad time. Like, seriously, a traumatized-by-war level bad time. Join us in clinging to the fun of Computer Club in the Woods, food court feasts and R…

Megan and Carey read book 42: The Journey!The Helmacrons are back... and they're ready to PARTY*!*Invade Marco's nose. That's it. That's all I got. You wanna know what this book is about? It's about the kids gettin real small and having to follow the helmacrons into Marco's nose. Did you watch that episode of Magic School Bus? Did you see Osmosis J…

There won't be any new episodes until January 9th, but here's a little afternoon snack of an episode to tide you over while we all collectively hibernate for a couple weeks. Enjoy a snippet of ooooooold audio from before we (sort of) knew what we were doing with podcasting! And before we knew what we were getting ourselves into emotionally and spir…

Megan and Carey read about Big Jake getting Big-ed in Animorphs 41! With special guest Dante Shephard! (survivingtheworld.net/ and @danteshepherd on twitter)We have hit one of the most nonsensical books so please join us try to make sense of things as Jake has the worst dream/alternate reality adventure/multidimensional vision quest? in the chaotic…

We read Megamorphs #4 with special guest star Gale Galligan (http://galesaur.com/; https://twitter.com/robochai)! This is a good one, folks. I mean: obviously every episode of Morph Club is a good episode, and guest star eps especially so, but in this case, also, the book was very good. You should read it. Join us for a frank discussion of time par…

Plop & Elbow are back and ready to face a new Alternamorph challenge! Will they finally get to pizza planet?? Will they survive dinosaurs and howlers? What twists and turns await them and us the listener? Listen to us choose our way out of this adventureAv Megan & Carey

Thanks for your patience!! Morph Club episode 52 is HERE and so are our thoughts on the ~rad animorphs covers exhibit~ with our friend Gale... as well as... our thoughts on... another batch of TV episodes. Proportionally, we watched like 90 minutes of the animorphs TV show and only spent like half an hour at the David Mattingly Animorphs Covers exh…

You see the cover of Animorphs book 40 and you think, oh no, being a bee will be so terrible. Have we learned nothing from morphing ants and termites???? But in reality there's about 3 pages of bee antics and then 120 of tragic andalites. Do you want to get: baffled by how spatial realities of a new character, intensely frustrated by children's lit…
