News and Updates (00:05:44)

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 has debuted with strong numbers according to The Wrap.

We can’t help but mention Pluribus, as it seems everyone is watching it at the moment.

Did you know there’s an official Percy Jackson and the Olympians shop now?

You can also get some great merch at Hot Topic!

Did you catch the beautiful birthday message to Walker from his dad?

There’s no Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 4 renewal news, but they ARE working on it at the moment.

We channel a little Positive Patty and/or Optimistic Olivia energy and talk about the chances of getting seasons 4 and 5.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 6 discussion (00:14:52)

Let’s kick off the episode 6 discussion with Tyson in the water.

Daniel Diemer does such a good job of getting Tyson’s thoughts and feelings across while underwater.

RAINBOW TO THE RESCUE.

Percy has a pretty awful dream about Camp.

It looks like Kronos is dropping by, but when the hood is pulled back it’s someone else.

Why do you think they showed Thalia in this scene?

How does Percy know what she looks like?

Percy wants to get a head start on their plan, but Annabeth remains calm and tells him that’s not a good idea.

Back on the island, Polyphemus regales Clarisse and Grover with tales of his solitary life.

Shoutout to Nobody.

They made Polyphemus SO MUCH SCARIER than he was in the books.

We keep hearing Pan’s name.

Percy keeps watch while Annabeth grabs some pelts.

Luke interrupts with some rainbow wiggles.

Annabeth admits Luke might be right about Thalia’s feelings about Zeus, but he was also wrong to think she’d be on Kronos’ side.

This part wasn’t in the book, but it’s such a great addition.

Percy has a dramatic entrance.

Was he worried that Annabeth might be betraying him?

Was the call about recon or about checking in on Annabeth?

“Think wooly thoughts.”

Those sheep sounds were pretty legit.

Plot twist! Polyphemus set a trap for the demigods.

We get a classic Clarisse and Percy moment.

Annabeth uses that big brain of hers to distract Polyphemus.

Luke uses a portal to travel to the island, and Karen has some questions about the science of the magic.

Shoutout to the makeup department because Annabeth’s wounds looked BRUTAL.

All seems lost…until Tyson returns!

Did Percy understand what they said in Ancient Greek?

How did Tyson get one up on Polyphemus?

Luke arrives at the worst or possibly even the best time.

Percy really did try to come up with a different solution than just handing over the fleece.

Were we surprised Luke healed Annabeth?

How do we feel about the changes from the book here?

Tyson saves the day AGAIN, and Percy is so glad he’s alive.

And like the wish-granting fairy that he is, Tyson has a solution to their problem of no transportation.

Percy gets yet another epic line to end the episode.

Next time: Young Annabeth, a recovering sarcophagus, Clarisse liking her odds, and BLACKJACK!!

Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast highlights (01:25:15)

Aryan and Aleks are in divorce arbitration, and Andrew makes his big debut on the podcast.

But first we need to talk about what is was like to play Polyphemus.

This is not the first time Aleks has been a cyclops in a Percy Jackson production.

Did you realize they did mostly practical effects for Polyphemus?

What character inspired the “simple” version of Polyphemus?

Did you know what forced perspective was?

Which did you like better, the proposal or the prom pictures?

The second guest on the podcast was Albert Kim, one of the series’ writers.

They wanted to surprise even the most diehard fans of the books.

We talk about Percy’s fatal flaw, and his reaction to giving up the fleece.

It’s no surprise the sheep were afraid of Polyphemus.

Aryan finally gets his ring!

Andrew McIlroy returns to talk about his experience on the show so far.

It was interesting hearing how they “found” Tyson and Teen!Luke.

Kronos is totally a cult leader.

We get some insight into how the kids prepare for each scene, including an example of the exercise with the ball that they do to get into character.

Why doesn’t Andrew go to any of the functions?

Where did his commitment to the craft come from?

Everyone has such respect for Glynn Turman.

Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode #153, where we’ll recap Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 7, as well as the next episode of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast.
