Minds at Yeerk

Instead of talking about a book none of us felt like we would have much to say about, we're taking a week off! We'll be back in a fortnight to talk about the movie The Host.

Welcome to the book that has forced us to reevaluate what we know to be a vegetable, ponder the viability of a stage musical adaptation of Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, and...wait, what did jet-setting monkeys have to do with this?

Only one mind could sift through the last few books we have read to write fanfic that connects the dots between them. Join us, intrepid listeners, as we venture into the great unknown: the mind of Tim!

I dunno, bud. I don't know.

If you take one thing away from this episode, let it be that Keri Russell has more range than you probably realize.

We're all Melvin down here.

At the halfway point in Humanomorphs, we're ready to take stock of our lives. But more importantly, we're ready to shake up the pants-wearing paradigm with GEOPANTSING! Plus: Which Alan Tudyk character is Tim most like? Be sure to wash down this episode with an inappropriate comedy!

Yes, we really read the next one. How else would we have learned about Chekhov's Volcano, The Clueless Hairballs, or Poseidon's multi-level marketing scheme? Chris Grine joins us again—and Jenna makes her long-awaited return—to foil some dolphins armed with nuclear bombs (yes, really).

It's a new day for Minds at Yeerk, as we venture into the unknown of...Humanomorphs? Wait, don't go—Chris Grine (Chickenhare, Animorphs, Secrets of Camp Whatever) just got here! And we all know that a Chris Grine party, like Long Hole, does not stop!

We bring it full circle by revisiting The Invasion—and this time, we scoped out the (relatively) new audiobook to see what we thought! Join us as we revisit some of Tim's earliest predictions (and make him eat his words) and receive a final Dumpster count.
