High on Thermals (Book 14)
We kick off the controversial Book 14 with the realization that we actually— all kind of love it? Yes, it's goofy, but in the best kinds of way!! Things get strange right away as Cassie and Rachel investigate a mysterious, payphone-using horse and meet an all-time great NPC in Crazy Helen. What is with all of the pooping in this book? Can we possibly summon the spirit of Crazy Helen into the room with us? Does cheese taste green, does rice taste lavender? Support the show Support ...

We Need a Forklift to Get Us Out of This Bit (Book 13)
Book 13 continues! Would Andalites be cuter without arms? Do memories come with morphs, or just instincts, and how can we tell the difference? Do the Animorphs continue to age while they’re morphed, or does the healing power of morphing actually slow down the aging process? And which rides would we include in a hypothetical Animorphs amusement park? Support the show Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anidorks @anidorkspod on twitter!

Anatomy of a Strong Boy (Book 13)
Book 13 escalates with one of our favorite action sequences yet in the series!! Have we mentioned that we love this book? When the Yeerks sound the alarm about the the escaping Hork-Bajir, KA Applegate tells us that "up from the hole in the ground humans poured." Miranda wants to know if it's accurate to say that something can pour up, or if things can only pour down. After hearing that said human Controllers are disguised in an array of normal-looking human clothing, Eddy is curious w...

Goth Incel Shock Collar (Book 13)
We kick off our third season by finally returning to our beloved morph-capable children with Book 13. Is Tobias our new favorite child? (Don’t tell the others!!) Does anything feel more queer in this series than Tobias having to watch from the sidelines as his friends experience the childhood that he's missing out on? And how many people can we piss off by claiming that Book 13 is a contemporary retelling of Macbeth? Support the show Support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anidor...
