    Book 37 - The Weakness

    The book that nearly gave Kacey a stroke. With the worst character assassination we've seen so far, a dramatic plane crash, and what Gianni calls potentially the best Jake book, you are certainly in for a treat. Plus, unnatural limbs, an R2D2 impression, and a Taylor Swift hot take, you'll be wondering to yourself "WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE?!"  Contact and reach out at morphinbuddies@gmail.com Social for Gianni: X (formally known as Twitter)- @gianni_damaia Social for Kacey: Instagram- @kaceeyyyyyy

    Book 36 - The Mutation

    Atlantis plus House of Wax?!  Kacey and Gianni dive into this underwater episode starting with an allergies vs stress email and how it could affect morphin' time. Then, we start in the fever dream of The Mutation: underwater nukes, dead bodies on display, and evolution from sheer force of will! To quote the episode: "it was interesting, I don't know if I learned anything, but at least it's not dull!"

    Book 35.5 - Visser

    Join us on a deep dive into the long awaited book of Yeerk politics and Visser 1's backstory! We open this episode talking about staying up late vs what is an appropriate sleepy time. Then we address a small mistake from a previous book and get a VERY detailed fan mail about the criminal background of Michael Grant! Later on, we read a delayed Snapple fact, talk about a potential blackmailing/betrayal situation, read a subtle reference to drugs, and see a barely there mention of the Holocaust. All that and more in this week's episode! Contact and reach out at morphinbuddies@gmail.com Social for Gianni: X (formally known as Twitter)- @gianni_damaia Social for Kacey: Instagram- @kaceeyyyyyy

    Book 35 - The Proposal

    Poodle, proposal, and pre-teen emotions: Is this book a new "The Reaction"?! We open the episode with Gianni's story of how he got his new nickname (and now he's telling everyone). Then, discussions of ways to look at grief: either comical or tragic, adhering to previously stated fiction rules, and could this be the best Cassie book?? Plus, gripes with American Horror Story, a shocking parrot story, and expressing disappointment for how low the bar is for a modern crash-out.

    Book 34 - The Prophecy

    This week, we talk about one of the stronger Cassie books and get to interact with Aldrea once again! In the beginning, Gianni gives out wedding advice and we read our first Youtube comment (along with gaining some more science/morphing explanations). Then, diving into the book, there are discussions of purity culture, a confusing battle, and remembering how we lived in Cringe City when we were younger.  Plus, connection advice during stress, a mention of an erotic comedy film, and confirmation that yes, The Phantom Menace is indeed very cool.

    Book 33 - The Illusion

    Who's ready for some TORTURRRREEEEE?!?! We've got a book half filled with pain and pleasure with our saddest bird boy (boy bird?) Tobias! Great prose, a strong, character focused adventure, and learning how to grow up. We open with a pun email and some hair talk. Gianni tries some pun acceptance and Kacey confronts her cynicism on rom coms. Then, complaints about The Walking Dead, confusing Yeerk politics/hierarchy, and some romance?! Plus, slutty Principal Chapman, a secret slide entrance, and a special appearance from the Goo Goo Dolls!

    Book 32 - The Separation

    Someone in the Animorphs has been split into two! What the heck! Gianni and Kacey open this episode up with AC: Odyssey and a horror trope Kacey is SICK OF SEEING. Then, Gianni talks about the type of energy he was looking for in this book and Kacey mentions a creep she went to school with in college. Plus, throat grabbing, bird threatening, and BLIND RAGE.

    Book 31 - The Conspiracy

    Jake's grandfather just died and his family needs to leave the city...for 4 days. Tom is upset and the Animorphs need to stop him from harming Jake's family. Opening with some Snapple ASMR and a strong caffeine avoidance, Kacey and Gianni dive into the absurdity of this book and how things escalate WAY TOO QUICKLY. Drive bys, a kidnapping, and no contingency plans?!?!, this episode has it all. And just a heads up, there is a slight audio issue with Gianni's audio in the middle of the episode, but it quickly passes. Plus, a good media list, a conversation about f*cking yourself, and a Best Buddy acceptance speech, you won't want to miss this one!  Contact and reach out at morphinbuddies@gmail.com Social for Gianni: X (formally known as Twitter)- @gianni_damaia Social for Kacey: Instagram- @kaceeyyyyyy
