returning, this time to break down the fight with the Earthborn (who are surprisingly lovable?). We go on some lovely deep dives, such as trying to pinpoint the logistics of Enceladus' glowing teeth
Percy Jackson trailer screenshots and thoughts thread:
First up: THAT CONCESSION STAND IS CLEARLY RUN BY A MONSTER BECAUSE $1 WATER AT THE BASE OF THE MET STEPS? THAT'S A TRAP. RUN AWAY.
The Italian volcano Etna has started erupting smoke rings
This phenomenon is rare, as smoke rings are formed only with a specific crater shape and geometry.
'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' stars Walker Scobell, Leah Sava Jeffries, and Aryan Simhadri tease 'more mature' season 2: 'It's definitely hyped up some.'
As I said on the podcast, the funniest thing about this hilarious moment is Percy messing up the words and jumping to “Consensus!”, which is not actually the chorus, after the first line.
Casting a disabled actor to play Hephaestus absolutely rules. The amount of care put into this show in every facet has me so confident in how well it will turn out.
GOOD MORNING! SAG STRIKE IS OVER (hell freaking yes. congrats, union!), so here is a belated thread of my thoughts on the Percy Jackson TV show trailer.
First thought: LOL OH MY GOD THEY USED A RIPTIDE REMIX IN THE TRAILER. I DID NOT THINK THEY WOULD ACTUALLY DO IT, THE MAD LADS
NEW || The cover for Wrath of The Triple Goddess has been released
The book is available now for pre-orders, and is set to be published on September 24 of 2024

PERCY JACKSON AND THE OLYMPIANS: THE CHALICE OF THE GODS will go on sale September 26, 2023!
The casting department already deserved loads of praise before this moment, but their ability to find a kid that looks exactly like a younger
@walkerscobell3
is WILD.
A series adaptation of
“The Kane Chronicles” trilogy is reportedly in development at Disney Plus.
The series is being described as being set in the world of Disney Plus hit show “Percy Jackson & The Olympians.” Rick Riordan will be involved as a writer and executive producer
If I ever get Walker Scobell on the pod, I think it would be hilarious to just start it off like a normal episode covering Heroes of Olympus and not acknowledge that he plays Percy and interview him until halfway through.
Happy birthday, Percy Jackson! I don’t know exactly how old you are, but you’re definitely old enough to order Blue Curaçao at a bar just because it’s blue, and I love that for you.
😔 This is heartbreaking. Lance Reddick as Zeus was easily the casting I was most looking forward to in the upcoming series. A great actor who seemed like a genuinely great person who will sorely be missed. Wishing nothing but the best to his friends, family, and loved ones 💛
I have officially binge listened to all of

’s podcast eps of reading all of the PJO books. It was the PERFECT addition to my

hyperfixation and now I can’t wait for him to get to Heroes of Olympus and for him to suffer like we did. ☺️
ANYONE LOOKING AT THESE SMILING FACES AND THINKING THE CASTING IS WRONG NEEDS TO TAKE A GOOD LONG LOOK IN THE MIRROR AND RECONSIDER THEIR LIFE CHOICES BECAUSE LOOK HOW HAPPY AND PURE AND WONDERFUL THEY ARE.
👋🏼 Hello and thanks for the follow,
@camphalfblood
! Congrats on the success of the show, and the guest chair on the podcast is always open for you if you ever want to hop on ☺️
SAG-AFTRA solidarity so instead of promoting the show, I will instead promote this good group of

Hey team, just wanted to apologize for using the term “Eskimo” in this week’s episode. I had no idea it was an outdated term forced upon the Inuit people by colonizers and is now considered a slur. Huge thanks to all the folks who explained this to me, and I’ll never say it again
It was fantastic to see how passionate he is about the character he's playing. It was also hilarious to see Becky not want him to go into detail but him be like "LOOK, I GOTTA SQUASH THE NOTION THAT IT WOULD EVEN BE A CONTEST." The kid's got spunk—that's why he's Percy.
As someone whose main association with Cerberus is from Hades (the video game), I will have a hard time overcoming my desire to wish to only pet the fluffy friend.
I completely missed that the sandwich place in

Episode 1 was called DiAngelo's and thus could be a Nico reference. I blame this on growing up in Central Jersey where "DiAngelo" is basically "Smith."
Well,

The absolute whiplash I'm about to undergo watching this tonight in prep for the Texas live shows coming off of watching the two-ep premiere last night... 🤦♂️
TIRED: Saying I haven’t played Hades II because it’s currently Windows-only and I have a Mac
WIRED: Saying I haven’t played Hades II because I have a newborn and I’m a responsible father 😤

Season 2 promo ideas:
• Dodgeball tournament pop ups
• Gray sister cabs in NYC
• PJO rodeo in honor of the Colchis bulls
• Rebrand one of those war ship museums into the CSS Birmingham
• Princess Andromeda Cruise
• Circe’s *very normal* Strawberry Milkshakes
The fact that Uncle Rick had to put this out is so disappointing, but he wrote this scathing blog post so well:
"Anyone can be a hero. ...if you’re still upset about the casting... it doesn’t matter how many times you have read the books. You didn’t learn anything from them."
“You are judging [Leah]’s appropriateness for this role solely and exclusively on how she looks. She is a Black girl playing someone who was described in the books as white…that is racism.”

Read Rick’s statement at the link below:
Wow, the influence that The Newest Olympian has had on the PJO universe already is astounding. Can’t believe they’re making a show out of it based on the rising success of the podcast!!
103 episodes. 50 months. Countless references to Hades (the video game). This ep, we reach the end of the first series of the Percy Jackson Universe. Now that we're here, I can with full confidence say that this IS, in fact, a series slept on by society.
The true test of the PJO fandom: will people be chill or will there be outrage like there was for Black Hermione? (My early sense of the fandom is they’ll love this, which is a relief because THIS IS GREAT!)
@PercySeries
Gosh, the first page of the first book is so powerful. What an intro to the series to basically tell you to not read it. A+++ reverse psychology.
THANKFUL FOR ALL YOU FINE FOLKS WHO HAVE SUPPORTED THE PODCAST AND ALLOWED IT TO BECOME MY FULL TIME JOB. TRULY WILD I GET TO COVER THESE BOOKS AND PERFORM SHOWS LIVE FOR A LIVING. I AM FOREVER GRATEFUL!
He's a 10 but he's under the influence of the Titan Lord and he wants to topple Western Civilization with his poorly-named sword, but really he just needs a hug from his dad.
Hey, team! You may have heard me mention in the ending credits of this week's episode that our next guest is a LITERAL OLYMPIAN, BRADIE TENNELL! Her episode won't release until Feb. 6, but STARTING TODAY she competes in the US Figure Skating Championships! LET'S CHEER HER ON!
