Anidorks: An Animorphs Podcast!!

We interviewed the creator of the iconic Animorphs covers, David Mattingly!! A few weeks ago, David was generous enough to spend an hour talking to us about everything from his process of designing the book covers to his prized framed bug collection to the rise of AI art and what it means for visual artists. More importantly, we press him with our conspiracy: if his father invented

We wrap up our second season with a conversation covering the first Megamorphs book, books 8-12, and Andalite Chronicles. If the first seven books asked why the Animorphs fight, is this portion of the series asking what the cost of fighting is? Miranda wonders what the original Spider-Man movies tell us about what’s to come in the series, Eddy is still trying to figure out how we

We finally finished the Andalite Chronicles! In this supersized episode, Elfangor goes to college, Loren ages rapidly to a narratively convenient age, and we finally learn the extraordinary origin of a beloved character: Hedrick Chapman!! If the Yeerk invasion is just starting in the 80s, why isn’t it further along in the main series books? Who is this cosmic force of evil that t

In which Loren introduces Elfy to her mother and we find ourselves confounded by conspiracy after conspiracy. Why does Elfangor insist on pretending that he has never encountered cloth, taste, or roads? Why does he not run into a single figure from his past in this pocket universe when Loren's sector is so crowded? Do Andalites have nipples? We need answers!!Support the Show.Su

Elfy finds himself disoriented in a familiar but strange new world after using the Time Matrix. He ponders whether you can ever really go home again, splashes around in the water with Loren, and meets Visser 3(2)‘s bizarre new minions.How lubricated is the Andalite musculature? Could halal falafel, made with garbanzo beans = Hala Fala, the garabah tree? And what the hell is going

We’re in the home stretch of Andalite Chronicles! The only way for Elfy and friends to escape a very perilous situation in space is to finally use the Time Matrix. Is Elfangor blaming himself a little too much? Will the Animorphs ever acquire a living asteroid morph? And is Elfangor’s central dilemma in these books that he wants to hold the very hand that he also desperately wa

We finally conclude the second part of Andalite Chronicles with a big showdown involving Elfangor, Loren, Visser 3(2), and... living asteroids? Does every Visser have their own blade shape, and how did Visser 32 receive one so quickly after his promotion? Is Andalite space travel going to be forever changed by the discovery of these living asteroids? And how can Elfangor say that h

In which our heroes spend too much time doing donuts in Z-space and we spend too much time talking about this scrumptious feast of Time Matrix lore. Just how old are Loren and Chapman supposed to be, and does this explain why Chapman is such an emotional terrorist? What do you call a combination of a hiss and a snort? And just how many bandages will Loren be able to create out of h

In which Elfangor learns a little bit too much about Team Andalite and our favorite Visser finally becomes himself. Is Chapman to the Yeerks what Arbron is to the Living Hive? Do these book think Alloran is one bad egg or that the entire Andalite system is the problem? And why is Sub-Visser 7 finally infesting Alloran so goddamn satisfying?
