The Yeerky Boys: An Animorphs Podcast

Folks, we've accomplished our mission. We've discussed every piece of Animorphs media we could feasibly get our hands on, and then some. Now, our journey is at an end. In this episode, we say goodbye to all our loyal listeners, reflect on the podcast as a whole, announce our future podcast plans, and maybe we even discuss Animorphs a little too. Thanks for joining us, and remember - tail feathers grow back.

Let's face it - Animorphs is a little bit... silly. Sure, we love the series, but that doesn't mean we can't poke fun at it too! That's what we do in this episode, in which we examine the "Vegemorphs" book by Leif. E. Green, plus two other Animorphs parodies from the late 90s. Prepare yourself... for laughs, that is!

Animorphs was a young adult phenomenon in the late 90s, so naturally Scholastic was ready to cash in with heaps of merchandise. In addition to the board games and video games we already discussed, they produced t-shirts, action figures, calendars, and more! We discuss virtually every Animorphs item ever sold or included with a fast food kids meal.

The Animorphs are back in an all new card game! This week, we played Animorphs (Customizable Card Game) released in 1999. We discuss how this game differed from our expectations, why it makes last week's game look GOOD, and the new pope.

The Animorphs are back in an all new board game! This week, we played Animorphs: The Invasion Game released in 1998. We discuss the rules we got wrong, followed by the rules we got right, why dice rolling can be a bad mechanic, and how we would fix this game.

The Animorphs are back in an all new Game Boy Color exclusive adventure! This week, we played Animorphs (that's it, that's the whole name) released in 2000. We discuss its shameless Pokémon rip-off mechanics, infuriating password function, and inscrutable battle system, plus Humpty Dumpty hentai.

The Animorphs are back in an all new Playstation exclusive adventure! This week, we played Animorphs: Shattered Reality from way back in the year 2000.

It's time to explore our first fully 3D Animorphs video game adventure in the form of Animorphs: Know the Secret, which was released for PC in 2000. We discuss a bizarre hybrid of game mechanics, mine carts, combos, apple seeds, and how bad Will is at video games.

This week, we begin our month long exploration of Animorphs video games. First up are two web games which were available for FREE on the official Scholastic web site back in the day, Hawk Rescue and The Yeerk Pool. We discuss the difficulty of getting outdated games to run on modern hardware, scrambled animal names, and the significance of the letters 'J-I-K-L'. PLUS, a bonus rant about r/Animorphs' recent ranking of th...

Sure, we've all read the Animorphs book series by now, but how many of us have... read it? The graphic novels, I mean? That's right, Animorphs is available in graphic novel form! We read through all six currently available adaptations by writer/artist Chris Grine and ready to give you our full report. We discuss the art style, changes from the novel, and of course, those ever present "goofs".

Sure, we've all read the Animorphs book series by now, but how many of us have... listened to it? That's right, Animorphs is available in audiobook form! We put K.A. Applegate's iconic series directly into our ears (like yeerks!), and now we're ready to share our thoughts. We discuss character voice quality, word pronunciation, and why people who listen to audiobooks are stupid.
