News and Updates (00:03:23)
News and Updates (00:03:23)
- Read Riordan released another OTP timelines article, this time about Nico di Angelo and Will Solace.
- Then, we try to guess which gods said what in the Riordanverse.
- Did you do better than us?? You probably did.
- Let’s talk about the November 11 blog post.
- What moments from The Lightning Thief do they need an underwater set for?
- The Underworld set is going to be AMAZING.
- It’s so interesting to think which gods we’re going to see this season and which have to wait.
- It has been confirmed and confirmed again: No actors from the Percy Jackson movies will appear in Percy Jackson and the Olympians on Disney+.
- It’s so amazing to hear that the studio partners keep giving them excellent notes and that everything has been super collaborative.
- We got another update for Daughter of the Deep! How long do you think it’ll be until that movie comes out?
- Make sure you’ve ordered The Sun and the Star by Rick Riordan and Mark Oshiro.
- Hopefully we’re able to go to an in-person tour stop for this book, but if not, maybe we can catch the virtual event.
- Okay, it’s time for the November 18 blog post, which is all about new casting.
- First up is Jay Duplass as Hades.
- Do we know Jay from anything? One of our friends is definitely excited for this one!
- We’ve also got Timothy Omundson as Hephaestus!
- Is there a better, more prolific actor for this role?? We think not!
- Kristen makes a confession that SHOCKS Karen to the core.
- We do a lot of speculating about how Hephaestus’ role could be expanded for the show.
Divine recipes (00:40:41)
- It’s almost Thanksgiving here in the United States, so let’s talk about food!
- Despite the fact that Zeus’ recipe inspired Karen to come up with this series, Kristen had the most trouble with him!
- We both definitely tried to incorporate weather somehow.
- How do you turn Hera’s personality into a recipe??
- We agreed it had to be something homemade and comforting.
- For Poseidon, is there really any choice other than seafood?
- Kristen went for freshness and Karen went for abundance, but both work really well!
- And no, there’s no blue JELL-O with goldfish inside.
- Hades definitely demands some sort of MEAT.
- We both also incorporated fire in different ways.
- And maybe the Italian flag??
- Athena was a little bit of a tricky one, but we both knew it HAD to involve olives or olive oil in some way.
- Plus, it had to be light and have enough substance to sustain you during battle!
- Kristen’s pick for Ares was honestly the best recipe out of the entire list.
- We both knew it had to be meat, and it had to be violent.
- Kristen also describes Ares in the nicest way possible.
- Next up is Dionysus, and we go in two different directions for this one.
- Kristen was thinking parties, and Karen was thinking wine. How could you go wrong with either?
- Kristen knew she HAD to work oranges into her recipe for Apollo.
- Karen had a similar reasoning for going with her choice for Apollo as well.
- Artemis is next on our list, and Kristen had a really clever way of working one of her major symbols into her choice.
- Why did we both think Artemis was vegetarian?? She’s the goddess of the HUNT.
- And yes, Karen found a way to incorporate mushrooms. Obviously.
- Hephaestus is such an interesting god to find a recipe for, and apparently Kristen had NO trouble with this one.
- That being said, we think of Hephaestus VERY differently.
- For Aphrodite, are there any options other than chocolate??
- Callie interrupts us to eat a little bit of dinner.
- Whatever Aphrodite gets, it has to be elegant and decadent.
- Demeter is an interesting one, but Kristen found a really good recipe for that.
- Meanwhile, Karen went with something a little more classic.
- Hermes was another god who was really fun and interesting to come up with recipes for.
- Seriously, tacos are so versatile and they’re good to eat on the go!
- Our last god on the list is Hestia, and we knew from the get-go it would be a little bit difficult.
- Whatever her meal is, it’s gotta be roasted over an open fire!
- Was this fun? Did you like it? Should we do some more?
Percy Jackson and the Last Olympian (01:24:45)
- It’s time to talk about The Last Olympian chapter 12.
- Is this the first time we’re meeting Will Solace?
- He must be an excellent healer if Percy is allowing him to look after Annabeth.
- How much does Pompona look like Demeter?
- Watch out for that foreshadowing! It’ll bite you right on the nose.
- We really wanted to root for you, Ethan!
- We’re really feeling the Percabeth vibes in this chapter!!
- There was a point in time where Luke wanted to run away from Kronos and everything he had to do. How do we feel about this?
- Grover returns to deliver some bad news and eat some furniture.
- Karen totally forgets the word for hellhounds.
- We’re officially up to Prophecy Count #27.
- Nico needs to learn the delicate art of listening to your elders.
- Did Maria di Angelo make the right call, or was she being naïve?
- Zeus would totally kill children.
- Poor Persephone would’ve been forced to live with Hades’ mistress. YIKES.
- Hades goes full God of Death on the Oracle, and we just feel so bad for her.
- Rachel’s father is kind of the worst.
- Kristen has ANOTHER confession.
Feedback (02:00:40)
- Henry lets us know that there’s a Mythic Quest/Percy Jackson crossover…in Becky’s dreams.
- Phoebe tries to help us out with the whole sand dollar problem.
