The Yeerky Boys: An Animorphs Podcast

The Yeerky Boys: An Animorphs Podcast

Will, a lifelong Animorphs aficionado, and Jonathan, a lapsed fan, read through K.A. Applegate's iconic series of books together to see how it holds up today. Over the course of the show, they'll discuss each Animorphs book in detail, followed by its spin-offs, adaptations, and any other inane thoughts that enter into their rapidly deteriorating brains.

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.

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.

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".
