Guaranteed* Audio Episode 27 | Animorphs, Animorphs, Animorphs!

[@daftmouth]

i love the fact that ‘Sporadic Phantoms’ is just ‘Animorphs Podcast’ rearranged so heres some other anagrams of it • Rhapsodic Postman • Postpaid Monarchs • Most Arachnids Pop

[@poparena]

Thank you for the kind words :)

[@KevinJamesVideo]

Why does ryan always talk like a mystical wizard about to give a quest

[@Miserys_B1tch]

Because he *is* a mystical wizard about to give a quest

[@PanAndScanBuddy]

Well when he transported here Narnia style, he had been a mystical wizard for years.

[@TheTrout9000]

When I was first exposed to the channel I just assumed his Everybody's Pants Now character was just him IRL - a mystical pants wizard.

"Y'know kids at home, before those Marvel movies came out-" "SHUT THE FUCK UP KEVIN" I love Gauranteed* Video/audio so much

Real

[@Seerowpedia]

It's always a treat to hear people talk about Animorphs! For a second I thought our wiki was wrong when Julie said Cassie was acquired 3 times instead of twice, but then there was a sigh of relief when she redacted it 😆

[@juliebecker9088]

I was getting confused with the time Cassie morphed into Rachel in book 12!

[@milhouse8525]

Just found out this video : Sporadic Phantoms is arguably THE BEST animorphs-related content i ever found, it's very well written, the tension is sky-high all the time, it's clearly a must ! Especially if you're an avid animorph fan, and that you get all the easter eggs and references, you'll surprise yourself to try to locate where precisely in the animorphs time-line every episode is, keep track of which known-characters we met (mainly the 6 animorphs, but not only...), and, most of all, die laughing at the "these-messages" in every episodes 🤣 It's nice to be able to put faces on the voices !

[@daftmouth]

god i really wanted Kevin to talk about ‘Bottoms’ in his Media Current. i saw him talk about really enjoying it on his instagram story and it finally got me to watch it (after it being the top of my ‘to watch’ list for tooooo long). and it has literally became one of my all time favourites. so thank you Kevin!

[@fripptricky5099]

Ryan, lookin' SHARP, dude!

[@rowsdower50]

Damn, Ryan's hair! Looks great!

[@_kiteko]

I like how the setup from the Video Game Police is being utilized

[@KevinJamesVideo]

We'll try and dress it uniquely next "talk show."

[@Golden4craft]

Babe wake up, new Guaranteed* audio just dropped ❤

[@SunshineCasy]

30:28 - The Yeerk equivalant of the Dome Ship is the Pool Ship. Both are big motherships. A Blade Ship counterpart might be an assault ship like the Asculin.

[@kellywilliam3708]

So glad i found Sporadic Phantoms, cant wait for more

[@charliepie1212]

SHIT ITS MAX, THAT DUDE TOOK MY LUNCH MONEY

[@ariwl1]

I was the exact target age when Animorphs came out and it became a childhood obsession. I felt pretty much the same way about those books that Julie did. These characters were my friends, and I too was in a secret war to fight the yeerks. I was one of the few kids my age who didn't care about Harry Potter because I was head over heels for Animrophs. I actually went back this past year and reread the series for the first time since I was kid. I remembered the big beats but I'd forgotten a lot of the individual moments of how truly enrapturing and grim this series could get. These days you'll hear people talk about old media and say things like "This could never be made today." A lot of the time it's nonsense. But Animorphs...I have absolutely no idea how you pitch a series like that today, keeping true to its style and themes and willingness to "go there" while keeping it at the target reading level and get it accepted. Truly an icon of its time.

[@emmamaki5862]

As a 2000s kid I'm surprised that the books apparently weren't in public libraries during their heyday, because they were certainly at my local libraries when I was growing up. I read the books largely out of order, but I did read almost all of them, and since I got into it well after the series had wrapped up I didn't have to worry about outgrowing it before reaching the end... but I made a conscious decision to never read the last book because I knew it was a downer ending. Looking back I wish I hadn't been so weak and had finished the full series

[@adamrevival29]

mike nichols doing the birdcage, the graduate, and who’s afraid of virginia woolf is a spectacular line up

[@skorqion_art]

I have never consumed any animorph content, don't know what any of it is or means but I like a good podcast, so I gave the Sporadic Phantoms a listen. I listened to every episode that's out and it's very good, I can recommend it!

[@stoatadmiral3367]

god i really wanted Kevin to talk about 'Booty' in his Media Current. i saw him talk about really enjoying it on his instagram story and it finally got me to watch it (after it being the top of my 'to watch' list for toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long). and it has literally become one of my all time flavourites, if you know what I mean (AHAHAAAA). so thank you Kevin!

[@KevinJamesVideo]

It's so good!

[@wingtub]

I love sporadic phantoms (I even own an imago hoodie)

[@jpg_yk4]

It’s really funny that after I finished watching this episode the video you guys made 15 years ago, ”The Questioning”, popped up which I assume is about Animorphs 😅

[@jackmc5167]

I used to have a Tobias action figure that transformed into a hawk. In my head it was the coolest thing ever but ive been blinded by nostalgia because i just googled it and it is dogshit

[@brynleyisdumb]

YESSS NEW PODCAST EP WITH JULIE AND MAXX

[@ZyxthePest]

I had a discussion with a friend about Animorphs where we came to the conclusion that it'd be far more fondly remembered if it were about the team getting different psychic abilities (telepathy, pyrokinsis, etc) rather than morphing into animals. As Kevin mentioned, that's SUCH a hurdle for readers. Sidenote: I video taped myself doin Jake's VHS exclusive monolog as a kid.

[@ariwl1]

Upon reread it's pretty wild how integral the animal morphing feature is to the beginning of the series, even to the point of prompting philosophical quandaries, but towards the end it's just what these characters do. It got kinda comical in the final books how they had to work to squeeze in new animals for the kids to morph since that was on the surface what these books were supposedly about.

[@Dinosaurchestra74]

I love how people are commenting quotes and stuff before they even finished the video

[@Vivi.idk.lol.]

If i wait until I finish the video I'll forget what I wanted to say

[@Dinosaurchestra74]

@@Vivi.idk.lol.good point

[@hpalpha7323]

I was the perfect age for Animorphs when it came out, but I couldn't sit still long enough to actually get into it. I know I watched a bunch of the show and read one or two of the books but I remember vanishingly little about it

[@ashtray69420]

not that relevant but I fell asleep when I had this playing in a tab and when neil read the animorphs poem it made me have a paralysing dream where the riddler wouldn't leave me alone

[@spongbros]

Please upload Neil's Animorphs Poem as a separate video (KZbin's Clips feature allows clips up to one minute only).

@@spongbros Shorts aren't much better. I'll upload it in the next few days! -Kevin

[@KevinJamesVideo]

Done!

[@spongbros]

@@KevinJamesVideo Thank you!

[@kidfantastic]

A piece of post-XFiles paranoia antiwar institutional skeptical body horror fiction that could only have existed before 9/11. It does the ending of The Hurt Locker 10 years early. Amazing this was sold to third graders.

kevin made me stop watching JUST to see the birdcage LOL

It is definitely one of the movies of all time

Nah cuz when I saw this, Kevin started to talk about it 😭

[@Ashlynn1218]

Nail clippers is so cool

[@crystalwolf_plays3402]

This is how i found out ryan cut his hair im sad

[@6Shooter28]

the only thing The Birdcage doesn't improve over La Cage aux Folles imo is the butler character. He's one of the best characters in the original but, in the remake, he's just... Hank Azaria doing an accent

[@6Shooter28]

"I've been called a n***** and a f***** but I've never been called French!" is a great line also
