Morph Club: An Animorphs Podcast!

hi everybody! carey here on behalf of megan and carey  with a quick logistical note. morph club is switching from soundcloud to anchor for episode hosting! the old episodes will still be accessible  once we redirect the feed, so it should hopefully be a seamless  experience on the listening end. But most soundcloud episodes will be  hidden once we downgrade that account, so if you have any deep-seated  attachment to them or any comments you made there, now is the time to  download and save them yourselves! especially episode #22,  megamorphs 2, which anchor refused to recognize and import, so maybe we accidentally stumbled on some truth about yeerks in there that the  world wasn't ready for?? we'll leave that ep up on soundcloud. So in the future, you can find the show archive at anchor.fm/morphclub, or in any of your podcast listening apps. and we're always on twitter at morphclubcast! it  was a treat to look back at old eps while we were switching over- these  books are very dear to us, and so was this show, and so was hearing  from everyone who got to connect with other animorphs fans over it. that  really meant a lot to both of us!! so, as always, thank you. ok, that's  it! hope you're all hanging in there ok. it morph club out! byeeeee!

It's the wrap-up episode! We build a full-on red string bulletin board map of Crayak & Ellimist plots, answer your questions, talk about some wonderful fanfics (bit.ly/morphfics), and touch on what we have planned next. And of course, we circle back around to the Morph Club Thesis: did you know that Animorphs is an extremely good series? We think so. Spread the word. We'll put the first couple eps of whatever we do next in this feed for you to check out, and until then, find us elsewhere online: twitter.com/morphclubcast twitter.com/megthebrennan twitter.com/careydraws Thanks for listening! It's been really special to make this journey along with all of you.

Megan and Carey read THE LAST BOOK!!! buckle your seatbelts because this book spans like 4 years and will make you feel every emotion. And also manages to fit in multiple references to the cinnabon franchise. HOW IS THIS THE END ALREADY but also THESE KIDS WENT THROUGH SO MUCH IN SO SHORT A TIME? process all these feelings along with us.

Megan & Carey read the penultimate Animorphs book: Book 53: The Answer! Listen in real time as we, like these woefully unprepared teens, are ground into nothing before the unrelenting march of war. Did that make sense? I'm really not sure because this book took my brain and put it through the WRINGER, Y'ALL. We're not ready for the end but we are, as always, so very, very glad to have all of you along for the ride. Let's do it.

Megan and Carey get their souls crushed(again)when they read Animorphs 52: The Sacrifice! Ax is all grown up and everyone is suffering! The end is coming for us and it's a rough time! At least we get one last gorilla-in-a-car moment, I guess.

Megan and Carey read Book 51: The Absolute! This book is... kind of a fun romp, honestly? We meet the governor of California! The Animorphs fall in love with her (and so do we). Ax is in truly fine form. Tobias shows off his flying (and... driving...?) skills. Cassie and Jake have very little screen time but manage to devastate us anyway. Capers continue right up until the very last page, at which point the invasion is made suddenly, jarringly public. Open warfare has snuck up from its usual spot just around the corner and is cuddled right up next to you on the couch. We've got three books left. We are very, very worried but very, very grateful that all of you are along with us for this horrible ride.

Megan and Carey experience Animorphs 50: The Ultimate. That meddling blue cube comes back again! The Animorphs kind of get a win but it still feels soul-crushing?? Everyone is having a bad time. Can't express how much. Also: this is the book that introduces the 'Auxiliary Animorphs' so we have some poorly articulated confused feelings. some blog posts about disability in fiction we talk about in the episode: http://visibilityfiction.com/getting-it-wrong-writing-about-disability-in-fiction/ http://booksbyintisar.com/2017/02/20/ableism-fiction-guest-post-erin-hawley-disability-fiction/ Intro music is a clip from "All of Us"(freemusicarchive.org/music/Eric_Ski…04_-_all_of_us) and outro music is a clip from "We Are The Resistors" (freemusicarchive.org/music/Eric_Ski…_the_resistors) both are by Eric Skiff(freemusicarchive.org/music/Eric_Skiff/), available under CC BY 3.0.

Megan & Carey read book 49: The Diversion! This is a good one! We recommend reading it. And buckling up, because things are moving very quickly to a point of no return.... and then blazing right past it. No turning back now! Tobias and Rachel have a sweet, weird date. Jake makes some tough decisions. Families are lost and found.

We finally did it! Megan and Carey watched the last episodes of the Animorphs TV show! We stumble through the last hurrah for the television versions of our fave animorph teens: a school dance! mall search party! some nerd kid's alien movie! a brainwashing sitcom! secret yeerk resistance club! and morphing a variety of professional TV animals that were probably easy to book on a budget.
