BONUS CROSSOVER EPISODE! On the way back from our season 2 set visit, we recorded this episode theorizing about what we'd seen for the wonderful Daphne Olive with Mike from The Newest Olympian and Erica and Carter from Seaweed Brain. Please enjoy us theorizing for ten minutes about a line that got cut (referenced in this interview with Craig Silverstein: https://www.tvinsider.com/1240398/percy-jackson-season-3-thalia-zeus/), trying to understand what Luke is doing at Camp Half-Blood this season, wrapping our heads around Tyson and his bombs, and attempting to be heard over the ambient sound of the van shaking.
