Episode #89 – In Denial
Jul 03, 2023, 03:55 PM
Prophecy Radio episode #89 takes a look at the documentary The Legend of Glynn Turman, starring the man who will be Chiron in Percy Jackson and the Olympians on Disney+. This week, we’re skipping the news, but we’ll be back to catch up in the next episode. We also return to The Kane Chronicles: The Red Pyramid by tackling chapter 13, in which Carter goes forth, like a good king. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air weekly, and we keep our discussions PG-13.
The Legend of Glynn Turman (00:04:34)
The Legend of Glynn Turman (00:04:34)
- You can watch The Legend of Glynn Turman for free on Tubi.
- This documentary was more like an extended interview, but if you like film and theater history, then we highly recommend watching it.
- What was Glynn’s childhood like?
- It all goes back to A Raisin in the Sun.
- He was surrounded by so many important people who changed the course of Hollywood forever.
- Can you imagine if Glynn had become an aviations engineer instead?
- Growing up in New York City during that time definitely led to some life experience.
- His time at the High School of Performing Arts was very informative for him and his career.
- And while not all of his experiences were good, they turned him into the person he is today.
- Let’s talk about some career highlights because there are A LOT of them.
- It seems like Glynn Turman was a witness to history given the people he was surrounded with and the experiences he took part in.
- Part of it is luck, sure, but his tenacity played a huge role, too.
- Not to mention that he’s wildly talented. Now we have an urge to go back and watch some of his projects.
- But how does he remember so many stories!?
- It was nice to hear him be honest about his low points because, hey, that’s reality.
- We loved Glynn’s love of horses and Black Western history.
- Movies like Buffalo Soldiers have always been important to him.
- We have some other random thoughts like YOUNG JAMES EARL JONES and GREMLINS!
- What would it have been like if Glynn had been Han Solo?
- He is the perfect person to play Chiron, and we talk about all the reasons why.
Kane Chronicles: The Red Pyramid discussion (00:51:07)
- This week, we’re discussing The Red Pyramid chapter 13!
- Does Carter have a little crush on Zia?
- It’s funny that they have to deal with cooldowns in this universe.
- Sadie is like a cat—tell her not to do something, and she’s gonna do it. All while making uncomfortable eye contact.
- Are female magicians more powerful?
- Is Carter hardwired for battle just like Percy?
- What is a ba and does it always have to look like a giant bird? Asking for a friend.
- Did you know the origins of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice?
- Gonna pass on meeting a tiger fish, tbh.
- WHY WOULDN’T YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE MAGIC PENGUINS?
- Do you know how much of Egypt’s ruins we’ve actually uncovered? Because it’s not a whole lot.
- Time to meet
Hannibal Lectorthe Chief Lector - Why are there so few children? Why, Zia!?
