News and Updates (00:09:50)

What’s been going on with us? Books and work and football, oh my!

There’s a lot of news to talk about this week, even though we did a whole episode on the news last week!

We go through the Percy Jackson season 2 stills from EW.

Did you go see Freakier Friday and see one of the Percy Jackson cast members??

Karen is maybe too candid about her type.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 3 has started filming!

Is that…a monster?

How excited are we about the Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 3 casting of Artemis and Zoe Nightshade?

Are we waiting on anymore major casting for season 3?

Can you believe it’s been 20 years since The Lightning Thief has been released?

Be sure to check out the Walt Disney Company’s interview with Rick Riordan!

Everyone wished Percy Jackson a happy birthday, including the Empire State Building.

Don’t forget Court of the Dead comes out on September 23!

We finish up with favorite scenes and favorite lines.

The Red Pyramid discussion (00:34:26)

Let’s kick this thing off with our The Red Pyramid chapter 33 discussion.

Why are the gods so annoying!?

Man, Desjardins really hates those kids. Think this will come back to bite him later?

They land in a salsa factory, which they then light on fire, and we simply cannot begin to imagine that kind of pain.

Yeah, Sekhmet seems like a god you don’t want to mess with.

Zia has a great plan that involves a lot of salsa but omg can you imagine if it had been GREEN?

Do we trust Zia!?

Doughboy to the rescue!

We discuss our favorite scenes and favorite lines.

Next up: Our Red Pyramid chapter 34 discussion.

It’s a good thing Carter has been practicing summoning things from the Duat.

His coat is VERY sassy. And rude.

Okay, something is seriously going on with Zia. What did Iskandar do to her??

When she talks about the fact that “he” is coming back, who do you think she meant?

At least now we know where the fifth goddess went.

Who the heck is Set controlling!?

Zia does not need to be in the spotlight, and we love that about her.

Amos is back–is this good or bad?

Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 141, where we’ll discuss The Red Pyramid chapters 35 and 36, as well as get you up to date on more Percy Jackson and Rick Riordan news.
