My Four Are Too Short!!! (Book 17)

Anidorks: An Animorphs Podcast!! ·

2025/02/05

Send us a text *trigger warning for discussions of SA and SA-related imagery* The gang orders the happiest of Happy Meals. Rachel has a terrifying dream. Morphing into moles takes the Animorphs all the way from womb to tomb. Why is Rachel’s nightmare of being infested by a Yeerk so much more powerful than Jake’s experience in Book 6? Who invented the Gleet Bio-Filter, and why does it feel like a trademarked product? Where is Visser 2, and do all signs point to them being a bit of a pran...

Send us a text*content warning for self-harm and sexual assault imagery*The Animorphs survive a fruity, Freudian hellscape and infiltrate a mental institution. Meanwhile Miranda, Eddy, and Chris try to figure out what, if anything, in Rachel's past led to her self-destructive tendency to throw herself into harm’s way.

2025/01/22

Send us a textBook 17!! Rachel and the others head downtown to attend the grand opening of a Planet Hollywood, but end up saving a man’s life instead.Why doesn’t Ax thought-speak in his human morph? Could six raptors really carry a man falling from a skyscraper? Is Rachel the first of the Animorphs to say that she would give her life to save another of the Animorphs-- in this case Cassie?

(Mailbag) Chapman’s YouTube Apology

Anidorks: An Animorphs Podcast!! ·

2024/12/18

Send us a textAs Chris would say: hellooooo Anidorks! We’ve printed out all of your letters (one-sided! double spaced!) and stuffed the mailbag full of that wonderful paper— just so that we can empty it.If the uncontrollable urges of the animal morphs speak to a fear of puberty, does the threat of losing control to a Yeerk speak to fears of growing up and conforming? What makes Marco such a compelling character? What are our predictions for what will happen with Visser 1? Just how special is ...

Gump It Up (Book 16)

Anidorks: An Animorphs Podcast!! ·

2024/12/11

Send us a textBook 16 ends with Joe Bob Fenestre revealing that he’s been slurping Yeerk. Jake’s mother shares that she is in possession of two weapons, though unfortunately neither of them is a broad sword. Are we the only ones who find the ending of this book to be incredible, but the beginning and middle to be a bit forgettable? How disappointed was Jake to learn that his mom’s secret “weapons” were figurative? Is Gump doomed to die trying to pet a wolf now that Cassie approache...

Fiesta de Fenestre (Book 16)

Anidorks: An Animorphs Podcast!! ·

2024/12/04

Send us a textThe gang wrecks a mansio. Jake the Tiger radicalizes some armed guards. Joe Bob Fenestre shows off his very cool bedroom. How is it that these books can pivot between a deranged millionaire confessing to Yeerk cannibalism and the cartoon antics of Jake trampling humans as a rhino without harming anyone? Does Jake's movement speed as a tiger obey the rules of 5E? Is any species better designed for Slip N' Slide than Yeerks? Is Fenestre, like his brother, just an artist in se...

Get Behind Me, Hork-Bajir (Book 16)

Anidorks: An Animorphs Podcast!! ·

2024/11/27

Send us a textIn which Rachel gets tased, Ax gets shot, and Jake morphs into a battering ram. Why is Fenestre more capable of fending off the Animorphs than the US military or even Visser 3 himself? Is Jake's failure to delegate tasks his fatal flaw? Just how many butt slaps are there in sports nowadays? What type of video game makes most sense for an Animorphs adaptation: a visual novel, a Telltale game? Would Marco be a Fortnite kid, flossing his way to Fenestre? What generic office ti...

Send us a textThe gang breaks into an office building and puts on a little show for the employees. Jake nearly dies and then has a totally normal dinner with his totally normal family. In this book, Jake is the leader of the Animorphs, but he’s also pretending to be a leader, as well as a son and a brother. In a different way, Tom is Jake’s brother, but he’s also a Yeerk pretending to be his brother. What is this book (and the series generally) trying to tell us about performance??Better ques...

The Prince and the Poppers (Book 16)

Send us a textBook 16 is gross and dark, with everything from Yeerk cannibalism to Jake getting eviscerated as a fly to dirty diapers to... Tobias almost getting crushed by poop in an airport toilet? The Animorphs meet the Internet and talk to strangers in a chatroom who may or may not all be Yeerked. Did they seriously almost kill Tobias in a toilet? Does Chris still hate Eddy and Miranda? What would be a better Animorphs party game: Swat the Jake or Pin the Nipple on the Andalite? Is i...

Send us a textBook 15 concludes with a standoff between Vissers 1 and 3, Marco finally revealing the truth about his mom to the rest of the Animorphs, and the question of whether Marco will remain a prisoner of hope. What do you mean this is a book for children?!Why does this book feel like it has the emotional weight of a main series book, but the self-containment of a bubble episode? Rachel is mad at Marco for not killing Visser 1 when he had the chance, but doesn't she miss an ...

Conservation of Dookie (Book 14)

Anidorks: An Animorphs Podcast!! ·

2024/09/04

The ending of Book 14 might be the wackiest one in the series yet. The Animorphs exit the Tunnel of Love, pursued by Captain Torrelli! They foil Visser 3's plan to infest the US military in a haunted house ride! They chase Visser 3 through a marching band parade filled with Looney Tunes characters! This book is bonkers in the best way. We have so many questions!! Why can’t the adults chasing after children at this amusement park just simply ask an attendant to stop the rides? When it com...
