The Lorehounds

Book-reader Marilyn and show-and-movies-only Elysia and Jean gather to tell Rick Riordan's stories of the gods and their children in their deep dive into the seas of seasons 1 and 2 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians on Disney+.

After some background and spoiler-free thoughts on the series overall, they talk through the major character arcs across both seasons, comparing the show to the books and films and questioning what role they would play in this world.

(Note: There are NO future spoilers, beyond the two seasons aired.)
