Welcome back to The Community Library! This week, in keeping with the book to film adaptation theme, Harry and I are talking about the movie Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. Last season we discussed the book, and we’re back and better (or rather sillier) than ever talking about the Percy Jackson universe. We discuss costume design, what changed from book to film, and Pierce Brosnan’s majestic performance as Chiron the Centaur.

For a full transcription of the episode, visit my website: Angourie’s Library.

This month we have two discussion picks: a book and a film! We’ll be reading and discussing Emma by Jane Austen, and its 1995 film adaptation Clueless. The discussion episode will be released on the 24th of November.

Please follow Harry on Instagram: @harrry.l – it’s the only reason he does the podcast with me (and because I pay him in alcohol and chocolate). He’s a sell-out, but we love him anyway.
