'Percy Jackson and the Olympians' Episodes 1 & 2 Review

1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,000
Hey, I'm Derek.
And I'm Noah, and you're

2
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:04,880
listening to A Bite of.
Where we take our current

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:08,600
favorite pop culture obsession
and enjoy it 1 Nibble at a time.

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:16,840
Yay oh.
Percy Jackson, I made myself

5
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:20,480
stumble because I said current.
And then in my head I said like

6
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:23,560
the ocean.
And then I said, uh oh, you're

7
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:26,400
doing something.
Don't think too far off.

8
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,120
Well, you let it out.
Still did it.

9
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,080
So we're finally here.
We read the book.

10
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,320
You guys were with us when we
did that.

11
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,600
We did press.
We saw the episodes ahead of

12
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,080
time.
We we actually have the

13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,480
screeners for the first four
episodes.

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,480
But we're waiting, right?
We're we're savouring this.

15
00:00:46,480 --> 00:00:49,680
We we've watched the first two
episodes, obviously twice,

16
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,000
twice.
It's really hard to not just

17
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,600
keep going.
I really want to keep going.

18
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,480
But now we're here, the
premiere, it's happening.

19
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,240
It's, yeah.
Yes, it's very exciting.

20
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:04,480
I feel like we have really been
on our own epic quest to get to

21
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,000
this moment and rereading the
books and talking about it so

22
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:09,520
much.
So I'm so thrilled that it'll

23
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,440
finally be out in the world and
we can talk about it.

24
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,680
Oh my God, we can finally talk
about it.

25
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:18,360
We had to be so cryptic and our
behind the scenes and all the

26
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,920
interview stuff and our pre
review of these two episodes,

27
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,480
it's been you know, people would
be like what happens?

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,000
I'm like, no, can't tell you.
I'll give you a spoiler free

29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,240
review.
It's Percy Jackson.

30
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,560
But so we're finally here.
So before we get into

31
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,000
everything, we're still on our
way to 200 reviews.

32
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,320
We're getting up there, so throw
some stars our way.

33
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,640
Leave a little review.
If you like, our Percy Jackson

34
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,520
stuff, if you're like us,
whatever you want to do, just do

35
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,240
it.
Page, Ron.

36
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:48,840
We got a page, Ron.
We have fun stuff going on

37
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,240
there.
We are going to be releasing

38
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,760
that video of us taking those
quizzes to see what cabin we're

39
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:58,720
in time, so stay tuned for that.
But I mean, massive spoiler

40
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,440
warning and we're covering the
first two episodes.

41
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:02,880
It's the two episode premiere,
right?

42
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,600
We're not going to release 2
separate episodes.

43
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,240
Let's just do it all in one.
This is a double serving of a

44
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:17,120
bite of Oh my so let us
officially take a bite of Percy

45
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,640
Jackson and the Olympians.
Episode one I accidentally

46
00:02:20,640 --> 00:02:25,280
vaporized my pre algebra teacher
and episode 2 I become supreme

47
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,440
Lord of the bathroom.
Oh, these titles are so much

48
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:29,560
fun.
They're so good and they're

49
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,360
taken right from the chapter
headings.

50
00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,560
In the book, So Good if you that
was one of our favorite things

51
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,880
about rereading this is they
were very clever, but they were

52
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,240
a lot of fun.
Sometimes it was just like we

53
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,320
captured a flag.
It's like, cool, we got it.

54
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,840
But in this one it's they were
very selective with which titles

55
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,400
they used, and both of them are
from the book. 100% And so in

56
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:53,520
episode one, which is written by
Rick Reardon himself, Jonathan E

57
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,120
Steinberg, and Daphne Olive,
directed by James Bobbin, we

58
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,200
meet young Percy Jackson, who
eventually stabs his math

59
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:04,560
teacher.
He and his mother take a wild

60
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,720
trip to Montauk where he rides a
tidy, Whitey clad minotaur,

61
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:12,800
turning it to dust.
I know I I thought I wrote it so

62
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,000
it didn't sound like that.
But then reading it out loud, it

63
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,520
did sound like that.
But that's not how I meant it.

64
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,120
Yeah, no, I mean, we have
feelings about the Minotaur.

65
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,480
Have you listened to our episode
on that one?

66
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,920
And you know what though?
I think the world has feelings

67
00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:29,960
about the Minotaur because they
made sure that those tighty

68
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,120
whities were real.
Yeah, and I also think there's

69
00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,440
something people were saying
like Minotaur Bay and stuff like

70
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:37,720
that.
So it's like, it's fine.

71
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,000
People get it.
We were just reading the

72
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,480
description, so if that's what
you took.

73
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:44,640
From it.
That's what you took from it.

74
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,920
All right.
So the first episode, one of the

75
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,920
things from our talking with the
cast and creators and all of

76
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,800
these people and especially Rick
and Becky Reorden had

77
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,600
specifically said if the
relationship between Sally and

78
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,680
Percy don't work, the show
doesn't work.

79
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:06,600
And when I really liked about
the first episode is they made

80
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:10,480
it work because really, I want
to say this series kicks off

81
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,000
with Percy and his mom having a
conversation.

82
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,120
So we see younger Percy at the
beginning of this episode.

83
00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:20,600
He's like in second grade.
And I like seeing this because

84
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:25,360
in the book he talks about how
like his field trips went bad

85
00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:26,760
and he kept going from school to
school.

86
00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,680
But we can finally see that
happening a little bit.

87
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,480
And there's a conversation with
a young Percy and his mother,

88
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:35,480
and they're in front of the
Percy, a statue.

89
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,160
And he's like, is that why you
named me Efraim?

90
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,920
Because he's a hero.
And she's like, well, not

91
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,600
everybody that looks like a hero
is a hero.

92
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,280
And not everybody that looks
like a monster is a monster,

93
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,560
which is a great way to teach
your kid about things that don't

94
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:51,800
judge everything that looks.
But I just, I love and I feel

95
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,240
like it's going to be like the
sentiment throughout this whole

96
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,640
series is, she says, old, fast
and brave the Storm Perseus.

97
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,800
And it comes full circle at the
end of this episode.

98
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,800
And it's just so good.
So good.

99
00:05:04,840 --> 00:05:07,880
Yeah, I really enjoyed the
beginning of this episode

100
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:11,600
because I feel like it echoes a
lot of what we said about the

101
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,520
first chapter of the book where
Percy is talking directly to

102
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:15,120
you.
Oh yeah.

103
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,440
So that's how it begins.
He's like, listen, if you're

104
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,120
like me, if this is what you've
gone through, things might not

105
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:23,680
be what you think after all.
And so we are giving an

106
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,400
introduction to who Percy is and
how he talks immediately, right

107
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,280
off the bat.
And like, you're saying

108
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:31,360
something that solidifies Percy
and who he is is his mother.

109
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,120
And so good.
I I really did enjoy that

110
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,360
throughout this episode.
We got to sit with her.

111
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,720
We got to see more of her and to
understand her a little bit more

112
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,840
in their relationship.
Yeah, I believe the actor's name

113
00:05:43,840 --> 00:05:47,560
is Virginia Kroll.
Great, Fantastic.

114
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:49,480
I don't think I've seen her in
anything else.

115
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:52,120
I need to look it up.
She looks familiar, but I'm not

116
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:56,160
sure, but really great.
I feel like for me in these

117
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,160
first two episodes, that
relationship and anytime they

118
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,360
were on screen together was the
high point for me.

119
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,960
Rest of stuff is very good, but
it's just they really sold the

120
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,880
emotional weight of what they're
talking about in there.

121
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,520
And I have something to say
whenever they get to Montauk.

122
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,600
But before we get to that, we
really get these first two

123
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:19,080
episodes, this first episode in
particular, again, we're seeing

124
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,240
the story kind of in Percy's
point of view.

125
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:26,440
We hear words, we see things.
But because Percy doesn't really

126
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:31,440
know what any of that means, we
still don't know as viewers what

127
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:34,080
that means, right?
And so he talks about how, like,

128
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,680
he daydreams.
He has dyslexia and you can't

129
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:38,280
really think straight.
Everything's jumbled.

130
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,200
And he thinks that all of the
things he's seeing aren't real.

131
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,600
They're real, but he thinks
they're not real.

132
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,160
Which brings us to the Met.
And this is really where the

133
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,640
series kicks off.
We get our first look at Kyron.

134
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,080
So good, Glenn.
Every.

135
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,520
I love that in Percy's young
life, everyone around him is

136
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,400
very heavy-handed.
And letting him know that he's

137
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,520
special, like his mom has that
whole speech with him at the

138
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,520
statue.
Chyron's like, things are not,

139
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,880
you know, whatever he's saying,
like, even Grover's like, don't,

140
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,560
you know, lean into it.
It's OK.

141
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,640
They're not worth it.
It's like everybody is like, oh,

142
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,120
Oh my gosh, no, Percy, don't do
this, Don't do that.

143
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,280
And it's like, he doesn't
realize that.

144
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:22,440
He just like, oh, I just have
really wonderful people around

145
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:23,480
me.
But they're doing it for a.

146
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,800
Reason.
Yeah, Chyron is very

147
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,640
heavy-handed with like, I
believe in you.

148
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,080
You'll get this stuff.
You need to get this stuff or

149
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,720
you'll die.
By the way, here's a pen.

150
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:37,520
Take this pen also.
I think The funny thing about

151
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,680
seeing this stuff in live action
is like, some of that stuff

152
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,760
happens in the book, right?
And he was his pencil broke

153
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,160
because he was writing something
and then he gives him the pen,

154
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,040
which we know is riptide his
sword when he uncaps it.

155
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:51,960
And I'm like, what if he just
what if he was going to finish

156
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:54,000
his school work like a good
student?

157
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:55,880
And then?
Write through that clipboard.

158
00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,320
It would have been a much
different fate for Nancy Bubba

159
00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:02,040
fit in that moment.
Oh my God.

160
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaking of her the worst.
She was in two scenes and I hate

161
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:06,000
her.
I was.

162
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:10,200
Going to say she was in there
for like probably a total of 2

163
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,320
minutes and I hated every second
of it.

164
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,600
So well done to that actor.
You know, to make an effective

165
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:21,640
bully, you just have to have
somebody that is just so rude

166
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:25,920
for no reason, right?
Like she just hates Percy

167
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,800
because he's there.
Yeah, this is Olivia Morton, who

168
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,920
plays this character.
Well, good job.

169
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,679
Kudos.
You have a bright future ahead

170
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,480
of you as the bully.
So what did you?

171
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,520
What did you Before we get to
Mrs. Todd's and her reveal?

172
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,440
What did you think about the
initial interactions between

173
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,200
Grover and Percy or Walker and
Aryan?

174
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,800
I love their relationship.
There's one thing in particular

175
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,240
that I really appreciated that
they don't speak about.

176
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:59,040
It just happens.
So when they finally sit down at

177
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,080
the fountain to have their
lunch, they both open their

178
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,440
sandwiches without saying
anything.

179
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,440
So you know, this is something
that they've done before.

180
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:08,040
And Grover, as we know, is as we
know, a Seder.

181
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,720
And so he loves nature, so he's
not going to eat an animal by

182
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,320
product.
So Percy takes his cold cuts, he

183
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,520
takes, well, I guess he takes
the cheese, he's not vegan.

184
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,800
And they they switch their
sandwiches.

185
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:23,880
So right there we're seeing that
they they have a routine

186
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,320
together.
There's like an understand.

187
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,520
Exactly.
They understand each other.

188
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:27,840
There's something that they've
done before.

189
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:29,640
So that relationship is really
there.

190
00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,800
And I just think that they're
both just, I mean, they're just

191
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:35,720
cute, the two of them together.
So I I really like that.

192
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:39,080
They're fantastic.
I really liked them showing us.

193
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,000
They're in there like cafeteria
at Yancey Academy and they're

194
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,600
playing with the Mytho Magic
cards, which I'm assuming are.

195
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,520
We didn't get a name, but I
think they are.

196
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:49,600
And when we get our first
glimpse of the Minotaur.

197
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:54,960
But though those scenes I think
are important for to establish

198
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,160
as viewers, they have a
connection, they're best friends

199
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,640
and they're in it together.
And it's his first kind of found

200
00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,120
family member.
It was the first one that became

201
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,760
his friend because we saw second
grade and he didn't really have

202
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,440
any friends.
So the story is very much about

203
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:13,360
that self discovery and finding
those people that you can kind

204
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:16,160
of take along your journey or
your quest with.

205
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,480
Which I think is what makes.
So they do a bit of a switch up

206
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:23,760
here after the whole Nancy
situation, but Grover kind of

207
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:28,440
throws him under the bus, which
is like kind of a it's basically

208
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:32,040
a knife in the back for Percy.
And so by seeing how close they

209
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,120
were to see Grover do that to
him, it's like shattering his

210
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:39,240
world a little bit.
And mine, I because it doesn't

211
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,200
happen in the books.
And I'm not saying everything

212
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:44,200
has to happen, obviously, But
like, I didn't expect it.

213
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,000
I thought they were just going
to be like, oh, whatever,

214
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,200
because he does still get kicked
out anyway.

215
00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,240
But like, for him to do that, I
was like, I know why you're

216
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,680
doing it, But Percy's face, when
he was like Grover, I was like.

217
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,120
Grover.
You're supposed to protect him

218
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,280
physically, mentally and
emotionally.

219
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:07,360
So let's talk about Megan
Mullally AKA Missus Dodds, AKA

220
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:11,360
Alekto.
So one of the Furies from Hades

221
00:11:12,720 --> 00:11:15,280
I.
She sold it from the first look.

222
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,840
Looked fantastic.
She hated Percy with a passion.

223
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:24,480
Sided with Nancy.
Red flag right there, but the

224
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:29,840
transition, the mist falling
away and her going from misses

225
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,080
Dodds to the Fury.
The leather jacket into the

226
00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:35,200
wings.
Wow, how dare you?

227
00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,040
Oh, so good.
I just like how she, like,

228
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,200
slinked through the kids.
But every time she took a step,

229
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,760
the wing would come out.
I was like.

230
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,880
I said she was knocking kids out
of the way, too.

231
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:50,840
So good, I fantastic.
Like I didn't need any more.

232
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,400
I was going to say a spoiler, I
don't need it anymore, but I

233
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,360
think it was a good introduction
of like there are things

234
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:02,120
happening underneath our noses
but we just don't know about it.

235
00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:05,960
And poor Percy, just like not
understanding anything.

236
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,040
But very good.
I think for the first monster

237
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:12,120
introduction, fantastic visual
effects killed it.

238
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,040
Yeah, I agree.
I thought it was a really slick

239
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:17,640
scene.
I love the transformation.

240
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,800
And I, you know, I think that
this, like you said and I and I

241
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,600
feel like it really does set the
tone very much like in the Percy

242
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:29,720
Jackson books where he's in the
dark and we have I I remember

243
00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:33,000
when I first read that in the
book, I felt like I was like,

244
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:34,840
wait, what's happening?
Why is she doing this?

245
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:36,800
Why is she doing this?
Why is this math teacher being

246
00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:38,920
like this?
And so it's it's confusing for

247
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:40,640
everyone around.
And I think that they really did

248
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,160
that in this as well to achieve
that goal.

249
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,920
One of the things we find out
with this is so there's a mist

250
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:49,800
like a veil that keeps the
mortals away from the magical

251
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,840
world and a really cool detail
that they did in this.

252
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:56,680
And I'm not exactly sure, but I
know in the books this happens.

253
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:58,840
We're going to reference the
books a lot.

254
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:05,240
Spoiler, but after he stabs
misses Dodds the Fury and she

255
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:10,200
disappears, you can see another
person comforting Yancey.

256
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,360
Yancey.
Nancy.

257
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,440
Nancy Yancey, Academy.
And in the books when he does

258
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,320
that and he kind of like comes
to and he's talking about Misses

259
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,400
Dodds, Everybody's like, who's
misses Dodds?

260
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,240
This is our algebra teacher.
So it's a really cool thing that

261
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,480
they did and they just followed
through with it.

262
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:31,200
But I think the more we'll find
out about the mists, it's very

263
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:34,200
interesting, right?
It only shows what it needs to

264
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:35,680
show.
But there's something that

265
00:13:35,680 --> 00:13:37,800
happens later on when Grover's
like, he usually doesn't hide

266
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,640
that from me.
So somebody really powerful is

267
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,400
manipulating.
That's which I think we can.

268
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:47,720
We can guess who's doing that.
So this brings us to one of the

269
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,960
characters.
I was really interested in

270
00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,440
seeing how they were going to do
it, and that's Mele, Gabe,

271
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,480
Percy's stepfather.
I hate him just as much in the

272
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,920
books, but I loved that they
changed it from him playing

273
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,680
poker with his friends to him
having no friends and playing

274
00:14:05,680 --> 00:14:06,600
poker online.
Yes.

275
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,640
He's playing poker online, but I
did like that there was a poker

276
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:14,000
table against the wall behind
him, so it's almost like there

277
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,640
was a time when he had friends.
But they're gone now.

278
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:21,080
And on the TV and on the TV
there's horse races.

279
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,720
He's even betting on that.
I was, I was really putting the

280
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,520
character together and when he
stands up, you see that he is

281
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,880
wearing a button down that he
has tucked into sweatpants.

282
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,880
And I'm like, you could tell
this guy's ridiculous because

283
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,560
he's wearing a button down in
sweatpants and I am wearing a

284
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,120
button down in sweatpants right
now.

285
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:41,480
You didn't have to tell people
about the bottom.

286
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,120
Well, yeah, Well, exactly.
So, you know, whatever he's

287
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:47,160
doing, I don't know if they.
Is there a video component to

288
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:48,480
online poker?
I don't know.

289
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,560
But no, he's doing a little bit
of, you know, business on top,

290
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,800
party on the bottom.
Well, he tells Sally and Percy

291
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,880
that he's working.
So, like, I think that's what he

292
00:14:57,880 --> 00:14:59,360
thinks is working.
But also, we're not in

293
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,240
quarantine anymore, so you can't
really.

294
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,040
Yeah, don't do that.
He takes work from home, you

295
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,520
know, very loosely.
But he's an asshole and I don't

296
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:11,960
like him very well portrayed.
But I really don't like him.

297
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:15,360
We get our first.
I was going to say the thing

298
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:20,160
that I appreciated about this
was that Sally in this version,

299
00:15:20,160 --> 00:15:21,800
stands up to him.
Yes.

300
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,440
Yeah.
So we get our first glimpse at

301
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,800
Sally, and she's outside in the
rain and she's just kind of

302
00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:30,920
chilling.
I know there was a lot of online

303
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,040
talk about what Olivia Rodrigo
Song was going to be in the

304
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,880
first episode, and it's logical.
It plays during the scene, which

305
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:41,440
I think is perfect.
It's a great song, but we see

306
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:46,040
her just either like taking a
breath or just being away from

307
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,520
where she is.
I think we'll we'll find out a

308
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,320
little bit more of why she's
doing that later.

309
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,360
But it's the second she sees
Percy.

310
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,080
She's just like hi.
Yeah, I think, I think her in

311
00:15:56,080 --> 00:15:58,160
the rain is, she's in Montauk
mentally.

312
00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,800
Oh yeah, so she finds out about
everything and then they get

313
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,240
they have to go to Montauk, but
not before she gives him a bag

314
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:06,680
of blue candy, which we have
blue food.

315
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,520
Finally.
It wasn't in the movies, it's in

316
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,000
the TV show.
Thank God.

317
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,120
Jelly beans rock candy.
What do we think?

318
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,240
Both.
OK, mix of both.

319
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:18,120
Do you like the hard candy?
I don't know.

320
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,360
I would like to know.
Just a little sugar.

321
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,920
Yeah, so, she tells Gabe.
Shut your mouth, I'll get your

322
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,920
sandwich.
We're going to, we're using your

323
00:16:26,920 --> 00:16:29,080
Camaro and going to Montauk.
With the hot Peppers.

324
00:16:29,080 --> 00:16:32,480
Yeah, I think that the
conversation that happens here

325
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:40,040
in the cabin great is beautiful.
You really get to see Percy kind

326
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,400
of say out loud how he feels
about himself, how the world

327
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,800
kind of sees him with his
dyslexia and ADHD and where he

328
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,600
fits in with that.
And it was kind of

329
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:53,480
heartbreaking, but it was also
really lovely that his mom was

330
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,920
just like, you're not broken.
Like, you're not broken.

331
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:59,880
I'm telling you these things.
You're the son of a God.

332
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,320
This stuff is happening.
It's all true.

333
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:03,920
And he still doesn't believe
her.

334
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,359
And it's just like, oh, it's so
sad.

335
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:10,599
Yeah, it is really sad.
And it's almost like, Did she

336
00:17:10,599 --> 00:17:13,359
wait too long to tell him all
this stuff before the rest of

337
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,640
the world got to him?
I mean, as we know, some of the

338
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:21,400
kids that go to camp half blood
are like 5-7 right young.

339
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:27,480
So, like, when is the proper age
to tell your half blood kid that

340
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:30,480
like, oh, by the way, you're the
son of or daughter of a God,

341
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,360
Yeah.
And then you send them to a camp

342
00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:35,000
you can't even visit.
Yeah, I guess.

343
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,160
Have fun.
Under terrible circumstances.

344
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,040
Exactly.
Someone's trying to kill you.

345
00:17:39,120 --> 00:17:41,200
I love you.
But like, I I love this scene

346
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,240
with them right again, it's a
this is one of the last, like

347
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,080
for right now moments that we
have with them.

348
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:50,840
Very well done.
Yeah, I like this scene a lot as

349
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,280
well because I feel like the
first half of this episode is a

350
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:57,480
lot of action to kind of get us
to this scene, to get us to the

351
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,440
sit down conversation where
Percy learns the secret about

352
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,560
his life.
But I really like this scene

353
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,160
because we get to see Percy's
sense of humour come out.

354
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:08,320
Oh yeah, a little bit, right
When she's like, why do you

355
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,560
think I bring you out to
Montauk?

356
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,880
He's like because it's cheap,
because it's by the septic tank.

357
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:15,120
Which fair also.
That's that's a thing.

358
00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:18,160
That's a deal, yeah, for sure.
And then I also like when she's

359
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:22,840
like, she says something like
your father is a is a God and he

360
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:24,640
goes like.
Jesus.

361
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:29,880
She's like, not like the God a
guy God.

362
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,720
So funny, so good.
But I think that Walker does a

363
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:36,920
fantastic job of delivering
that.

364
00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:42,120
Like you know, he is who he is,
but also like spunky side to him

365
00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,200
and he's he is very funny.
I can't wait to see more of him

366
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,120
being in situations that are
just like bat shit.

367
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:52,360
Yeah, and just having to deal
with it while also knowing

368
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:55,360
nothing of what's happening.
And I think the beauty of the

369
00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:59,200
characters arc is that the more
that he finds out who he is and

370
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:03,040
what his destiny is, the more
he's able to express himself in

371
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,360
those ways.
He becomes snarkier, he becomes

372
00:19:05,360 --> 00:19:07,320
funnier.
And I think that's because he's

373
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,400
finally not confused or trying
to tamper down those natural

374
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,320
things for himself.
He's allowed to express it all.

375
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,840
The When Grover comes to Montauk
because it was all part of the

376
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:21,840
plan, His mom was supposed to
tell him everything because now

377
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,160
that he's like a full half
blood.

378
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,400
Weird way to put that.
But now that he's a fool.

379
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:28,840
He's out of the half blood
closet.

380
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:31,440
There you go.
More monsters are going to keep

381
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:32,960
coming.
Especially because he's not in

382
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:37,040
the safety of Camp Half blood.
But it was actually kind of sad

383
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:40,520
and it it's still, he still
haven't forgiven Grover yet.

384
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,920
They haven't talked yet.
And when he knows it's Grover at

385
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,480
the door, he's like, I don't
want to see him and it's like,

386
00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,560
but he's trying to help.
But it was really funny when he

387
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,080
first found out that he had goat
legs and he's like, why is there

388
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:54,920
half a goat in your pants?
Grover's like, you don't want to

389
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:56,600
see me, but do you want to see
these?

390
00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:01,200
My beautiful face.
I do think an interesting change

391
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,360
that they made is I'm sorry,
it's not that I'm comparing it.

392
00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:07,080
I'm just like kind of taking
note of the differences our.

393
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:09,560
Last four episodes were the
books, so I think it's fake.

394
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,360
OK, all right.
It's that they in the book they

395
00:20:12,360 --> 00:20:15,720
make such a big deal about
Grover's fake feet and how his

396
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,640
hooves went into the feet.
Whereas in this Grover says to

397
00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,840
him it's the mist.
The mist is what makes you not

398
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:24,680
be able to see my which I like.
I agree.

399
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,800
It's a better thing.
I feel like if Rick, not

400
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:32,400
speaking for him, but if I was
him, I would change, make that

401
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,520
change, right.
Because it in the book it's kind

402
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,800
of cumbersome and stuff and I
know it's like, oh, people were

403
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,280
going to see, but it's kind of
just better just to magically

404
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,000
hide them, you know, carrying
like fake like what?

405
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:43,960
No.
Fake feet.

406
00:20:43,960 --> 00:20:46,320
And then like just because he
has fake feet doesn't mean that

407
00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:48,080
his like knees are bending the
right way.

408
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,840
So this definitely makes a lot
more sense.

409
00:20:51,840 --> 00:20:54,640
I thought it was a good change
and I really did take notice

410
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:58,720
after our the interviews that we
we got to be a part of.

411
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,400
I really did take notice of how
Arian is walking.

412
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:03,160
Yes.
And he really does make a

413
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:05,400
conscious effort to walk
differently than the humans

414
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:06,360
around him.
Yes.

415
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,400
I don't know if I said that's a
beginning of this episode, but

416
00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:13,160
like, look at our last episode,
because we have audio and clips

417
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:15,320
and stuff from the interview in
our last episode.

418
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,320
A lot of fun.
Go check that out.

419
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:24,680
So we get our climactic ending
to the first episode and it was

420
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:25,800
everything I could have hoped
for.

421
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,560
It was fantastic.
I loved it.

422
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:32,960
So we have this frantic drive to
get Percy to Camp Half Blood,

423
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,960
because the Minotaur is after
them.

424
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,200
Grover doesn't necessarily say
that at first, but he's like,

425
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,760
they're once the monster attacks
start happening, they're just

426
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:43,280
going to keep happening.
So they're driving in the rain.

427
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,040
They're trying to get there.
And as we're getting there,

428
00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:46,480
there's a lot of exposition,
right?

429
00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,280
There's like, this is how the
mist works.

430
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:50,600
This is you didn't tell them
about Cam Half Blood, all this

431
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:53,320
stuff.
The entrance of the Minotaur.

432
00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:56,560
Yeah, it's so cool.
I don't know how.

433
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,200
What what was that?
He's like a.

434
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,000
Like teleported and then he was
running on all fours.

435
00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,040
He was like.
I'm going to get you Camaro.

436
00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:12,080
But the this action sequence so
good, and it also shows that

437
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:15,280
Sally is a bad ass and she is
not scared in the face of

438
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,280
danger.
When that minotaur comes right

439
00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:20,120
up to next to them, smashes the
window, gets the horn stuck into

440
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:24,800
the dashboard and she plays
chicken with a minotaur and a

441
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:30,200
semi and she's like, I got this
gets him out I in the crash,

442
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:31,120
yes.
Yikes.

443
00:22:31,320 --> 00:22:33,760
I was not like, I was not
expecting that.

444
00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,120
Even when we watched it the
second time, I was like, it's so

445
00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:40,280
traumatic, the whole blackout.
And then they wake up and

446
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:42,240
everything's upside down and
topsy turvy.

447
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,680
So good, yeah.
And we get our first full look

448
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,560
at the Minotaur and all his
what?

449
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:51,880
How did he describe him?
Like a man out of Muscle Man

450
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,080
magazine.
Like baseballs wrapped in

451
00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:56,080
leather and.
Bulging biceps.

452
00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:01,400
Veiny hair coming up to here.
Oh my God.

453
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:03,960
We don't really get a good look
at him because it's like Dark

454
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,720
and I.
Liked his floppy ears?

455
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:07,240
Though he was kind of cute, he
was cute.

456
00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:09,680
Little floppy.
Ears.

457
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:14,680
He was pretty cute, yeah.
And so Sally, because she is

458
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,400
mortal, she can't go to camp
half blood.

459
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:20,040
So they have to part ways and
Grover has to safely take him

460
00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:21,920
there.
And they're like, OK, don't

461
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:26,520
really like this, but bye.
So she plays matador with a bull

462
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,640
and then gets poofed.
Yeah.

463
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:30,440
Bye.
Bye.

464
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:34,000
Yeah, so Percy was running up
the hill towards Camp Half

465
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,080
Blood.
When he sees that happen, he

466
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:39,560
turns right back around.
Grover is just laying in the

467
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:43,920
dirt, Like now come back and
Percy has his fight with the

468
00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,240
Minotaur.
So good, how are you?

469
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:49,360
Just charged towards him, got
that horn off of him, rode on

470
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:52,280
top of him and stabbed him in
the head with his own.

471
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:55,680
Horn the head that was you're.
So good.

472
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,240
I like how when Riptide got
thrown away from him and he was

473
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,520
going towards it, it
disappeared.

474
00:24:00,520 --> 00:24:03,560
He was like.
It was in your pocket, Percy.

475
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,840
Just reach in your pocket, but
like.

476
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,720
Rude.
Yeah, like the I would hope that

477
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,160
the magic would be like, OK,
he's coming towards me.

478
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,640
Like, I'm not going to fake him
out by, like, disappearing.

479
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:15,840
It should have gone to his hand,
It should have gone right back

480
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:17,760
to his hand.
We have some questions about

481
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:18,240
Riptide.
Yeah.

482
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:21,160
Like, yeah.
Riptide I feel like is is an

483
00:24:21,160 --> 00:24:24,120
inanimate object, but that is
animate and so.

484
00:24:24,120 --> 00:24:27,160
And has jokes.
Yeah, it's just like not my

485
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,680
fault.
Demigod shouldn't drop me.

486
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:31,680
You shouldn't drop me.
I did one of the things that

487
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,440
like, I don't know why this
stuck out to me, but when he

488
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:39,040
does stab the minotaur in the
head with the horn, he doesn't

489
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:42,840
fall straight to the ground.
He floats down because he's

490
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,160
like, dissolving.
He's dissolving.

491
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,920
I was like, that's great because
Percy would have gotten really

492
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:48,200
hurt if he dropped from that
height.

493
00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:54,480
One of the last lines that Sally
says to Jax Jackson to Percy

494
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,840
before they split ways, she
tells him.

495
00:24:57,840 --> 00:24:59,400
You are not broken.
You were singular.

496
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:03,040
You are a miracle.
Mother's love.

497
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:04,240
Yeah.
Mother.

498
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,600
Sally Jackson, The best mother
in existence.

499
00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,680
So good you don't belong with
smelly Gabe.

500
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,120
Just saying.
She She does.

501
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:13,160
You know what?
She doesn't.

502
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,200
And she knows that, Yeah.
That's why she frequently sits

503
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:18,960
out in the rain.
So can I just mention before we

504
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,040
go to episode 2, I want to
mention a few things about the

505
00:25:21,040 --> 00:25:24,520
episodes themselves.
So one there was a Rick Riordan

506
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:27,440
cameo in this episode in.
The first one.

507
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,200
He was one of the people that
was sitting in the room when he

508
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:31,600
was getting reprimanded at
Yancey.

509
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,920
He was dark and quiet in the
corner, so he was there.

510
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,440
That's it.
That's his only cameo.

511
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:39,320
That's what he told us, he said.
He has one cameo and that's it.

512
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:44,200
I love it.
Whenever authors appear in the

513
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,080
TV shows or the movies of their
works, I cannot help but exclaim

514
00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:50,520
at the top of my lungs.
That's ex author.

515
00:25:50,520 --> 00:25:53,240
Like Stephanie Meyers?
Stephanie Meyer at the diner.

516
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:55,080
She's just like, I don't want
that.

517
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:59,120
OK, yeah.
And then also the credits.

518
00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,120
Gorgeous.
They showed the entire series,

519
00:26:02,120 --> 00:26:05,240
not series, the first like
things that happened in the book

520
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,400
in the credits.
Beautifully done.

521
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:11,880
But I love the extra added thing
at the end of the credits that

522
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:15,360
it shows like a next time on So
good.

523
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,120
It's just like, fun.
Now in our Screener there was no

524
00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:21,520
like introduction to next time
on.

525
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,880
I'm wondering if in the actual
release if there will be a voice

526
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:28,800
that would be fun.
We got like the pre final

527
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,200
decision you know.
Maybe.

528
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,240
Because it was like a surprise.
We were like, wait, what's

529
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:34,120
happening?
Oh yeah, it just showed.

530
00:26:34,120 --> 00:26:35,920
Yeah.
It just shows like next on or

531
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:36,920
not.
It doesn't say anything.

532
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:39,040
It's just like.
Yeah, exactly.

533
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:43,240
This is the next episode, if
it's not on yours, OK?

534
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:44,760
That's just how they're doing
it.

535
00:26:44,800 --> 00:26:48,800
They're keeping it mysterious.
OK, so he passes out on to Camp

536
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,240
Half Blood.
Finally, welcome to Camp Percy

537
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,040
Jackson.
We've been expecting you.

538
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,720
Episode one, All right, so in
Episode 2, also written by Rick

539
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,120
Reardon, Jonathan East
Steinberg, and Daphne Olive.

540
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,680
Directed by James Bobbin I.
Think he directs all the

541
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:04,800
episodes?
I think so too, and I'm

542
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,000
wondering if these three are the
three writers for all of them.

543
00:27:07,200 --> 00:27:11,040
We'll find out together.
Percy wakes up in the Infirmary

544
00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,920
at Camp Half Blood.
There he meets his fake father,

545
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,400
Mr. D, and the horse half of
Chiron.

546
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,120
Camp introduces him to friends,
foes, and many things he isn't

547
00:27:20,120 --> 00:27:22,280
good at.
A raucous game of Capture the

548
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,880
Flag leads Percy to Water and
Triumph.

549
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,040
Nice.
You see what I did?

550
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,400
I did.
I'm glad because Trident

551
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:33,280
triumph.
I.

552
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:34,840
Didn't want to say.
Got it.

553
00:27:36,360 --> 00:27:38,640
I was trying to work Trident
into Triumph and then it just

554
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:41,560
kept coming.
Tridumph not as effective.

555
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:43,840
So Percy wakes up at Camp Half
Blood.

556
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:46,080
Let's just talk about Camp Half
Blood.

557
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,760
Get that out of the way, right
gorgeous.

558
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:52,640
It looks exactly what I would
think a camp for like

559
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:58,160
descendants of Greek gods on
Long Island would look like.

560
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,120
I want to go to there.
I want to go to there too.

561
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:05,520
There's a gorgeous lake,
beautiful woods, a bridge

562
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:07,800
spanning a valley of 1,000,000
miles.

563
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:09,040
With a lots of colourful.
Ribbons.

564
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,720
Oh, the ribbons Also.
That's my type of bridge.

565
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,520
Strawberry Fields?
Fantastic.

566
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,520
Little little seders everywhere,
just tending to the land.

567
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,760
It's really good.
And the cabins.

568
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:26,000
It looks, it's great, like this
is what I pictured in my head.

569
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,120
I think one of the things that
didn't work well for the movie

570
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:32,960
was it felt so small and like
you could tell the set was

571
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,160
small, but it just didn't.
It didn't feel expansive, like,

572
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,200
it didn't feel like, OK, we need
to like really carve out this

573
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:43,440
and this and every little scene
that we got in camp Half Blood

574
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,440
was like really thought out.
Even when he first meet, he

575
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:50,880
first first meets Mr. D at the
big house, like that stained

576
00:28:50,880 --> 00:28:52,440
glass that was behind him with
the lake.

577
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:59,320
Where can you and I go where we
can play Uno in some sort of

578
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,720
glass gazebo overlooking a lake?
If any of our listeners know,

579
00:29:03,720 --> 00:29:04,240
let us know.
Do.

580
00:29:04,560 --> 00:29:07,440
You have the Airbnb listing.
Please send it our way.

581
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:09,560
Because I don't think there's
any out here.

582
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,480
It's gorgeous.
So good.

583
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:18,760
So the first God that we get to
meet is Mr. DAKA Dionysus, AKA

584
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:22,880
the God of wine and luxury.
Banned from drinking alcohol

585
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:26,720
ever again.
Fantastic.

586
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,520
So funny.
Little little bit of a character

587
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,440
change.
I think he's more funny, but he

588
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:33,360
does keep things that he
shouldn't.

589
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:36,880
Loved it.
I loved Peter Johnson, although

590
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:40,280
he just did not want to say his
name correctly at all.

591
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:44,360
And again, this is like we get
to see Percy being a snarky

592
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,360
little 12 year old where he's
like Peter Johnson's here, He's

593
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:51,200
like, that's not my name.
And he, he would say his name

594
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:52,520
again.
And he was like, he's like, I

595
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:56,000
just said your name.
He's like, did you, I know that

596
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,400
you did.
And then we get to meet Kyron in

597
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,840
all his horse glory.
So good.

598
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:06,920
I loved now knowing that when we
had that conversation with the

599
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:11,200
visual effects supervisor, how
he said that Glen, the actor,

600
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:15,640
actually was riding a real horse
and they just like removed the

601
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:19,680
horse's head in post and moved
him forward and it's just so

602
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,320
good.
And that's why his movements

603
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:24,600
just seem so natural, because
he's actually doing it.

604
00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,920
When he's first taking Percy
around the camp and there's a

605
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:32,000
shot of Percy walking next to
him and he's walking next to the

606
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:35,800
side of a horse, it's very cool
because that's the real horse.

607
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,800
I mean, he was really walking
next to a horse the entire.

608
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,040
Beautiful horse.
Yeah.

609
00:30:40,280 --> 00:30:41,400
So good.
I love you.

610
00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,560
He's like, you're a horse, OK?
Just not fazed.

611
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,840
I think after like you got
attacked by fury.

612
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,080
He's the minotaur.
His best friend is half goat.

613
00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:53,480
He's like fine with.
Within a 24 hour span, he has

614
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,920
killed 2 monsters in two
different ways.

615
00:30:57,320 --> 00:31:00,120
He's he's seemingly unfazed.
And he thinks his mom is dead.

616
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:03,360
Yeah, he saw his mom blow up
into golden light.

617
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:08,760
Which, to be fair, just like
Grover said, it could be worse.

618
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:12,600
Yes, I loved Grover thinking
about what a human would be like

619
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:16,000
if they were squishing.
He was like, in my mind it would

620
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,240
be like a old banana.
Yeah, he's like and that's not

621
00:31:19,240 --> 00:31:21,600
what happened.
Yeah, he's like, it was a little

622
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:25,440
more glowy than that.
Yeah, so not as much blood and

623
00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:27,480
gore as I thought.
Something's up, I think.

624
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,480
So we get our first look at
cabin 11, the Hermes cabin, and

625
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:34,120
this is where everybody goes.
That has not been claimed yet.

626
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:38,360
The unclaimed so cool.
Just like bunks, kids hanging

627
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:43,280
out.
It looks very well thought out

628
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:45,920
for kids.
That makes sense.

629
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:50,880
Like it it doesn't look like
it's made for to look like

630
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,920
luxury or to like chill out here
or whatever.

631
00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:54,120
It's like it looks like it's for
kids.

632
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,200
Like there's tables here and
there's like the bunks are the

633
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,560
right size, you know?
Yeah, I I agree.

634
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:00,960
And you know, not to bring up
the movie again.

635
00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:03,400
I I remember one of the things
that lost me in the movie was

636
00:32:03,840 --> 00:32:07,680
when Percy finally gets to
Poseidon's cabin, it's not

637
00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:10,760
really a cabin.
It's like an open air lakefront

638
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:12,720
dock.
I'm like, what?

639
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:16,080
That's not a cabin?
Like, that's ridiculous.

640
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:20,080
So seeing the camp really look
like a camp, a summer camp for

641
00:32:20,080 --> 00:32:22,120
kids, even the way the bathrooms
look, right?

642
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,360
Nothing super fancy.
It's, you know, toilets and some

643
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,480
wooden doors and that's the
bathroom.

644
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:31,560
It's like, this makes sense.
And the Hermes cabin has all

645
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:34,680
these bunks because it is for
the Hermes kids and for the

646
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,040
travellers and the unclaimed
kids as well.

647
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,000
So there has to be a lot of
bunks there.

648
00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:42,040
And when Percy actually sets up
his sleeping bag on the floor?

649
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:43,800
It was already set up for him,
which was nice.

650
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,280
And he thinks, here comes a
Luke, the big old bully.

651
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:52,400
And I liked that Because of how
he was treated previously, he

652
00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:54,920
assumes that these kids are
going to be mean to him.

653
00:32:55,240 --> 00:32:59,160
And Luke is really nice to him.
He's just like, oh, hi, he's

654
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:00,800
like.
Dude, props.

655
00:33:00,800 --> 00:33:02,680
You kill the minotaur.
That's pretty badass.

656
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:03,400
Welcome to.
Great.

657
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:06,000
Oh, good.
Yeah, I loved it.

658
00:33:06,160 --> 00:33:13,360
Yeah, and so Luke kind of gives
him the back story on glory and,

659
00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:16,000
you know, kind of bringing
yourself to feats of skill.

660
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,800
And that's how people will
notice you, and that's how

661
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:19,040
you'll make your name for
yourself.

662
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:24,640
I really liked how Luke was the
mouthpiece almost for a lot of

663
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,080
background stuff that we find
out, right?

664
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:29,400
He tells Percy in this about the
glory.

665
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,600
He's like, that's kind of like
you.

666
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:34,280
You do quests and then you get
glory, and then you're like,

667
00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,480
seen by your parents.
And like, that's kind of what

668
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,200
our job is.
That's who we are as demigods.

669
00:33:40,280 --> 00:33:43,640
But we also find out that, like,
you know, there was a pact

670
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:47,200
between Zeus and the Big Three
and like, to not have any kids.

671
00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,760
That's a thing because the Big
Three cabins are supposed to be

672
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:54,360
empty, you know.
But we also find out that Talia

673
00:33:54,360 --> 00:33:59,360
and Annabeth and him came here
via coming to the camp, and Tali

674
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,800
is no longer with us.
We'll find out about her later.

675
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,400
Yeah, I wonder if we'll find out
more about her in the first

676
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,160
season.
There has to be a season.

677
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,239
Well, I think we have to find
what we're they better tell us

678
00:34:09,239 --> 00:34:12,280
about the tree.
The tree.

679
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:13,920
The tree.
The tree.

680
00:34:15,639 --> 00:34:18,080
But yeah, I I There better be a
second season.

681
00:34:18,199 --> 00:34:21,159
Yeah, I I also really appreciate
that in these first two

682
00:34:21,159 --> 00:34:24,080
episodes, because this is really
the only episode that we're at

683
00:34:24,080 --> 00:34:27,400
camp for the season.
Not to spoil anything, but like

684
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:29,760
by the end of this you know he's
going to go on a quest.

685
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,239
Cross country trips common.
Yeah, so fantastic.

686
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:38,239
I liked how quick it was, right.
It was like we need to train

687
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:39,360
him.
We need to see what he's good

688
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,199
at.
He's not good at archery, as we

689
00:34:41,199 --> 00:34:44,040
found out in the books.
He's not good at anything except

690
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:45,679
for swimming.
Right.

691
00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:47,520
Yeah.
And I mean, that's just Percy.

692
00:34:47,520 --> 00:34:49,880
He he's he's so new to all of
this.

693
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,960
How could he really be good at
any event?

694
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:55,719
And I and I do like that part of
his story where it's not like,

695
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:59,000
oh, I'm a demigod.
It turns out I'm amazing at all

696
00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:00,640
this stuff.
It's like, no, he doesn't have

697
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:04,560
the skill yet.
No, we also see that he he

698
00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:08,160
learns about burning the food.
So then he takes his blue candy

699
00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,480
into the forest at night and he
burns it to try and talk to his

700
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,040
mother.
You know what I loved about that

701
00:35:12,160 --> 00:35:16,720
is that Luke told him you burn
this so that way you can pray to

702
00:35:16,720 --> 00:35:20,560
your parent, essentially, and
what he does because he knows

703
00:35:20,560 --> 00:35:22,720
his dad's not there and he's
like, my dad abandoned me.

704
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:25,080
He's not here.
Why isn't he talking to me?

705
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:30,520
He sucks, but he takes the candy
that his mother gave him and

706
00:35:30,560 --> 00:35:33,920
goes and talks to his mother.
He's even talked to his father,

707
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,960
which is like, I love that.
I love that even though his

708
00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:42,760
whole thing is like, I'm going
to make sure that he sees me and

709
00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:44,960
he sees you, because he can't
ignore both of us.

710
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,160
But like, he could have tried to
talk to his dad and he didn't.

711
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:49,680
It just shows their connection.
You.

712
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,920
Know.
And it's also like, who do what?

713
00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,080
What number do I dial?
I don't know who you are, so I

714
00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:59,680
wouldn't even know who you you,
dad, you know who I am, but I

715
00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:02,160
don't know who you are.
So there was a lot of hints,

716
00:36:02,160 --> 00:36:05,120
Percy, but you know.
Percy's a little lost water.

717
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:06,440
He gets there.
He gets there.

718
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,840
I Do you want to just also take
notice of, just Speaking of

719
00:36:10,840 --> 00:36:15,640
mothers, that we get a little
more of Grover's world in this

720
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:20,240
episode as well?
Because he sees that Chiron and

721
00:36:20,240 --> 00:36:23,200
Mr. D want us.
They don't want Percy to know

722
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:25,760
that Sally might be alive.
And that's not sitting well with

723
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:27,520
Grover.
So he goes and fair.

724
00:36:27,600 --> 00:36:32,000
Yeah, he's like, look, I already
faked double crossed this kid

725
00:36:32,240 --> 00:36:33,760
once before I threw him under
the bus.

726
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:36,280
I don't want to do that again.
I believe that he should know

727
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:37,880
what's going on here.
Fair.

728
00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:42,000
So he heads into the forest to
go talk to the council of cloven

729
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,200
elders.
Yes.

730
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:45,720
Which we don't actually hear
that conversation.

731
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,760
No, but we do see from our
conversation with Becky Ray

732
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:54,440
Orton, she did talk about the
actor that played Helena, I

733
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:56,200
believe.
Helena is the actor.

734
00:36:56,200 --> 00:37:00,080
The actor, right.
She's just a Nyad, but it's

735
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:04,200
almost in effect kind of like
Grover's mother figure, which I

736
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,720
think is great for that
character because especially in

737
00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:10,960
the book, we don't really find
out much about Grover and

738
00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:12,600
Annabeth.
We find out a little bit more

739
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,320
about Annabeth and Grover, but
like Grover gets almost no back

740
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:19,200
story really in the first book.
So I'm glad that they're giving

741
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:22,640
him more things, right?
And just layering that

742
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:26,400
character, because I think for a
television format, you kind of

743
00:37:26,560 --> 00:37:29,440
have to, you have to give me a
reason to care for this

744
00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:32,880
character, right outside of just
the protagonist, right?

745
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,000
And I I do like that he has
somebody that he can go to and

746
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:40,960
by the way looked fantastic.
That that first appearance of

747
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:45,640
kind of her waking up from the
tree was such a cool moment

748
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:47,720
because you didn't know what was
going to happen.

749
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:49,760
She was walking into the forest.
Yeah, it's a face.

750
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:51,520
Holy smoke.
That's cool.

751
00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,680
God, we we talked.
We got to talk to the the

752
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:59,080
costume designer Tish Monahan,
and I loved hearing her talk

753
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,280
about that.
She's like, no disrespect to

754
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:04,000
group, but like, I wanted her
to, like, not look like that.

755
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:06,080
Mission accomplished.
Mission.

756
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:08,280
Accomplished.
Absolutely fantastic, yeah.

757
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:12,560
We also do get introduced to
Clarice, who is the daughter of

758
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,640
Aries.
I love her.

759
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,640
I love this character.
I love like a complicated.

760
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,000
She's a bully, but like, there's
more to her than meets the eye.

761
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,800
She's fantastic.
Yeah, it's she is a bully.

762
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,600
But there's a difference between
her and Nancy, I think.

763
00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,440
You know, Nancy, I think is mean
to be me.

764
00:38:31,440 --> 00:38:34,120
Sour.
Yeah, Whereas Clarice, it's like

765
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:37,360
it's bred into her.
It's that wrath, it's the war,

766
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,200
she can't help it.
And it's all about that glory.

767
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,880
So if someone's coming in
boasting a story of a fight of a

768
00:38:43,880 --> 00:38:47,160
victory, that doesn't sit well
with her because she needs to

769
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,200
bring the victory.
And later on, she even says

770
00:38:49,200 --> 00:38:51,640
she's like, I'm not really
interested in like maning or

771
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,800
even killing you.
I just want you to say that

772
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,640
you're wrong and you lied.
Because I think she needs to

773
00:38:56,640 --> 00:39:00,800
know, like, do I need to respect
this person or are we going to

774
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:02,360
have problems here?
Agreed.

775
00:39:02,360 --> 00:39:04,520
And I think it's also something
about the glory.

776
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,400
How could someone younger than
me achieve more glory than me

777
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:10,640
already?
This punk.

778
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,840
Because obviously Clarice is
along the lines of Luke's age, I

779
00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:14,840
would say.
Right, right.

780
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:15,840
Yeah.
They're a little older.

781
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,960
And I I love that the show
depicted them at the correct

782
00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:21,880
ages, right?
Because I think we needed them

783
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:26,760
to be at these ages for their
decisions or even their mindsets

784
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,400
or like, not really knowing
things to make sense.

785
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:33,640
Also, I want to say these kids
and choreo just like stunting

786
00:39:33,640 --> 00:39:37,680
and fight choreo and all of
that, They're like 12.

787
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,400
Yeah, I I can't bend down in tie
my shoes with revealing.

788
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,560
Oh, don't talk to me about my
back.

789
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,040
I completely agree.
I think that these kids are

790
00:39:47,040 --> 00:39:50,400
killing these action sequences.
It's so strong.

791
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:52,760
It's so fluid.
They're doing a really great

792
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,240
job.
I mean, I think it's Walker, but

793
00:39:55,240 --> 00:39:58,240
there's like a tuck and roll.
Pick up a SHIELD moment.

794
00:39:58,240 --> 00:40:00,400
That's pretty badass.
Definitely.

795
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:02,280
They're they're killing it.
So good.

796
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,520
So we get we have to talk about
the bathroom scene right before

797
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:08,360
we get to capture the flag.
The bathroom scene is very

798
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,960
important for this series and
for Percy's journey in the

799
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:15,840
beginning, because it solidifies
something, but also Annabeth

800
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:22,600
sees something, so it wouldn't
be, you know the the character

801
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:26,440
of Clarice, she has to really
strong arm him, right and show

802
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:28,720
him.
I'm the one that runs things

803
00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:31,040
around here.
She doesn't, but she wants to

804
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,520
show that.
So they're going to give him a

805
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:36,440
swirly, a very welcome first
night, welcome to Camp Half

806
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:37,840
Blood.
Classic bully moment.

807
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:39,720
Classic.
You're at camp Swirlies.

808
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:41,960
That's just what happens.
Kids, it's either that or or

809
00:40:41,960 --> 00:40:47,280
atomic wedgies, yeah.
Swirl right and I don't want

810
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,840
either.
How many pair of underwear do I

811
00:40:49,840 --> 00:40:51,480
have with me at camp?
I think.

812
00:40:51,920 --> 00:40:53,520
Yeah.
But like, atomic is over the

813
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,320
head.
Oh yeah.

814
00:40:57,200 --> 00:41:01,040
And sometimes, if you're the
child of a God, it can go

815
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,200
straight through your body, I
complained So.

816
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:08,200
I don't either.
But also I feel like there's

817
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:10,960
like things you could get
diseases from an end toilet.

818
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,080
So like I'd.
Rather, that.

819
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:17,040
And let me say something about
the The reality of this camp is

820
00:41:17,040 --> 00:41:21,360
that that porcelain pee hole is
dirty.

821
00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:22,600
Yeah.
It's disgusting.

822
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:23,880
The toilet.
The toilet.

823
00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:29,240
Porcelain pee hole.
I've never heard a toilet

824
00:41:29,240 --> 00:41:31,600
reference that way.
That's from a movie.

825
00:41:31,960 --> 00:41:35,040
If anybody knows the movie,
because I can't remember right

826
00:41:35,040 --> 00:41:38,640
now, let me know.
Oh, I think it's from Harry the

827
00:41:38,640 --> 00:41:41,400
spy.
Oh yeah, it's you love that

828
00:41:41,400 --> 00:41:43,760
movie.
I was literally talking about it

829
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:47,000
today with our Co worker.
Yeah, there's a part where she

830
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,760
ruins Janie's experiment and
she's like four months of

831
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,160
incubation down the porcelain
pee hole.

832
00:41:52,400 --> 00:41:55,160
I think that's what it is.
I don't want that.

833
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,640
I've seen it once.
I need to watch it again.

834
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:02,240
So good, We'll watch it.
So before they could get his

835
00:42:02,240 --> 00:42:06,240
head into the toilet, pivoting
water shoots up and sprays them

836
00:42:06,240 --> 00:42:12,680
and whatever, Poseidon.
But so Annabeth sees it, right?

837
00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,440
And this is our really first
true, like, look at Annabeth and

838
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:19,960
like, conversation with Percy.
And he's like, have you been

839
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,480
stalking me?
She's like, yeah, like, why See

840
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:24,720
something like this would
happen?

841
00:42:25,240 --> 00:42:27,560
And it did.
So you can help me.

842
00:42:28,840 --> 00:42:31,760
Like, what are you?
What's hard to understand here?

843
00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:35,440
But like, Leah Jeffries, so
good.

844
00:42:35,680 --> 00:42:37,720
She's not really in the first
two episodes, right?

845
00:42:37,720 --> 00:42:40,640
She's.
She has moments, but every time

846
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,560
she's in it, I'm just like,
you're so cool.

847
00:42:42,560 --> 00:42:45,400
Yeah, I love.
Your strength, You know what I

848
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:46,360
mean?
Exactly.

849
00:42:46,360 --> 00:42:49,120
When when she whenever she's on
screen, I'm like, she's going to

850
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:51,720
say something like, I can't, I
can't wait for her to have more

851
00:42:51,720 --> 00:42:55,960
time on screen because she just
has this charisma about her that

852
00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:57,880
you can't help but like, lean.
Into.

853
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:01,080
But that's Annabeth, right?
Like she's 6 steps ahead.

854
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:05,000
She's a fierce warrior.
She cares so much.

855
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,880
But like, she always has a plan.
And you could tell that with

856
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:10,880
Leah's portrayal of this
character.

857
00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,640
Like every time you see her,
you're like, you know what

858
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:16,040
you're doing. 100% it's not.
It's never, at least of what

859
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,040
we've seen so far.
It isn't standoffish, right?

860
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:22,400
It's taking everything in
because she's working out the

861
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:24,520
pieces.
Yeah, and she'll let you know

862
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:27,520
what you need to know.
If you don't need to know, it

863
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:29,520
might ruin the plan.
So like, I'm not going to tell

864
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,080
you.
They don't know.

865
00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,040
We know, they know exactly.
Exactly.

866
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:38,080
So that leads us, of course, to
capture the flag.

867
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,600
Capture the flag.
So Percy is definitely lucky

868
00:43:40,600 --> 00:43:43,720
enough to be on Annabeth and
Luke's team, and Clarice is out

869
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,240
blood.
Yeah, So what is it?

870
00:43:47,240 --> 00:43:52,760
Luke says that Leah Leah
Annabeth has LED them to V3

871
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:55,600
times, and it's been a long time
since somebody has fourth

872
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,880
victory, right?
So she's like, she's the brains

873
00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,280
behind everything, so they all
trust her to do everything.

874
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:06,000
I love seeing all of these
children in all of this warrior

875
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,600
gear.
But also just like if you watch

876
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:11,680
the episode again, just like
look at them in the background.

877
00:44:11,680 --> 00:44:15,280
They are going at it.
They're like having the time of

878
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,760
their life.
I loved it.

879
00:44:17,760 --> 00:44:21,320
Just like seeing these little
tiny kids with these swords and

880
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,800
like.
And of course the the difference

881
00:44:23,800 --> 00:44:27,560
of Percy just wearing the
leather and then Annabeth has

882
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:28,880
the full armor.
She's the.

883
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:31,560
Captain Heck, yeah, she is the
captain.

884
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:33,320
So I.
Was going to say the most

885
00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:36,680
important part is that we are
also introduced to the Yankees

886
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:38,520
cap.
Oh yes, Yeah.

887
00:44:38,520 --> 00:44:41,200
So when?
So capture the flag I always

888
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:42,680
thought was really interesting
in this book.

889
00:44:42,880 --> 00:44:46,360
It's like you don't get much of
it in this.

890
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:50,680
You just get Clarice and her
Hench people to let go attack

891
00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,200
Percy because he sprayed them on
toilet water.

892
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:56,360
That's all you get from that.
You know, it's really funny

893
00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:01,240
because I feel like in in the
world of Percy Jackson, two of

894
00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:04,640
the biggest things that you
think of are Camp Half Blood and

895
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:08,200
Capture the Flag.
And those things are only in

896
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:12,240
these two chapters of the first
book, but they make such an

897
00:45:12,240 --> 00:45:14,560
impression that everybody thinks
of them.

898
00:45:14,640 --> 00:45:16,520
Oh, yeah.
Oh, I think also because, right,

899
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:20,320
it's like that has like the most
importance for the character,

900
00:45:20,320 --> 00:45:21,840
right?
Like that's where the journey

901
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:23,960
began.
Like he's always going to go

902
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,840
back to Kim Half Blood or like,
there's always a place for that,

903
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:29,600
right?
But like capture the flag is

904
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:32,440
when he finds out, oh, that's
who my dad is.

905
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:35,800
Also, I took down Clarice and
her lightning spear.

906
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:37,280
Take that.
Bam.

907
00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:43,640
But so, like I, the fight scene
between Percy and Clarice, oh

908
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:46,720
Jesus.
Like when he was holding the

909
00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:49,920
spear, hitting people with it,
also dodging other people.

910
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:51,240
I was like.
This is cool.

911
00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,600
It was 3 verse one.
I didn't expect it.

912
00:45:53,680 --> 00:45:56,880
Like the action I wanted it to
be, but like, I don't know what

913
00:45:56,880 --> 00:45:58,200
I was thinking going into it,
right?

914
00:45:58,200 --> 00:46:00,560
It's like, oh, they're kids.
So, like, maybe they won't

915
00:46:00,600 --> 00:46:03,240
really go into the action.
Or like, maybe go like, oh,

916
00:46:03,240 --> 00:46:04,760
they're going to get hurt.
Oh, they did.

917
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,720
Well, that's what I think is
making this fun for the whole

918
00:46:06,720 --> 00:46:07,800
family.
Yeah, right.

919
00:46:07,800 --> 00:46:11,480
It's like the characters are
based as 12 year olds, but yet

920
00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:13,000
the action is really adult
action.

921
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,440
That's even what we were talking
about with the entire Minotaur

922
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:19,040
scene in the car chase, in the
crash in the first episode.

923
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:22,440
It's like it really heightens it
for an adult audience.

924
00:46:22,440 --> 00:46:24,280
You can't.
You really can't pull back,

925
00:46:24,280 --> 00:46:25,960
right?
You can't pull back the stakes,

926
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:29,160
the things that are like they
can get hurt in this, like This

927
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:32,320
is why they're doing this.
They can't do that because this

928
00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:36,320
will happen Very good.
I think that they needed to go

929
00:46:36,720 --> 00:46:38,520
head first into it and not pull
back.

930
00:46:38,720 --> 00:46:43,240
Yeah, and I think that one of
the things that actually, you

931
00:46:43,240 --> 00:46:48,040
know, the the the little Derek
inside me, he was happy when we

932
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:52,280
saw Percy, just like waiting for
something to happen during

933
00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:55,520
capture the flag.
He's flossing, he's petting a

934
00:46:55,520 --> 00:46:57,760
lizard, he's peeing and
whistling.

935
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:00,080
It was like it.
It made me chuckle.

936
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:02,240
And it was all part of
Annabeth's plan.

937
00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:06,560
I love that.
Not only did she strategically

938
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:09,720
know that was going to happen,
she won.

939
00:47:09,720 --> 00:47:12,120
Capture the flag.
Because I'm assuming she told

940
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:13,240
them where to go.
I think she did.

941
00:47:13,240 --> 00:47:14,560
She told Luke where to.
Go.

942
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:15,720
You're actually getting the
flag.

943
00:47:15,720 --> 00:47:17,280
I'm going to watch Percy get
beat up.

944
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:19,320
We're going to do.
We're going to do it.

945
00:47:19,320 --> 00:47:21,400
Yeah.
And she just put on her Yankee's

946
00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:23,640
invisible cap and was like, I'm
just going to watch this happen.

947
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:26,720
And I love that.
Like when she reveals himself or

948
00:47:26,720 --> 00:47:30,800
herself, he's like, you were
there the whole time.

949
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:33,400
And she's like, yeah.
He's like, so you were here the

950
00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:34,960
entire time you watched and you
didn't do anything.

951
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:37,960
She's like, yeah.
So.

952
00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:41,800
And then she's like Percy, I'm
so sorry.

953
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,760
And pushes him in the water to
prove her point that she knew.

954
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:48,760
OK, he is part of the big three.
He is Poseidon Sun because water

955
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:52,120
like she figured it out before
Percy, and Percy has experienced

956
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:54,680
all this water.
Never have I seen anybody go

957
00:47:54,680 --> 00:47:56,520
into the toilet and have it
explode like that.

958
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:01,760
Maybe firepower go around their.
Head and hit the people.

959
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,000
Fantastic.
Oh, I did want to mention so

960
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:09,880
when One thing that really drew
me to liking this interpretation

961
00:48:09,880 --> 00:48:13,640
of Clarice was when her spear
breaks, when Percy breaks it,

962
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:15,680
she's devastated.
Scream.

963
00:48:15,800 --> 00:48:21,280
And, like, she's mad at Percy.
But, like, I think ultimately

964
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:25,120
she's mad that, like, I don't
think it's often that they're

965
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:26,880
defeated.
Well, no, that their godly

966
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,080
parents give them gifts.
And that was a gift from her

967
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:34,200
father and she is now broken.
That's the point.

968
00:48:34,400 --> 00:48:37,080
Like what she's supposed to do?
Ask for another one?

969
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,120
Like what?
Dad who never comes to see me.

970
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,160
Exactly So.
Like, that's kind of sad, right?

971
00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:44,240
It's like, oh, that sucks.
And again, don't forget the

972
00:48:44,240 --> 00:48:47,200
whole part.
Point of glory is to get your

973
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:50,200
parents approval.
And she broke the tool that her

974
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:51,680
father gave.
And she lost the fight, yeah.

975
00:48:52,720 --> 00:48:54,080
Not good.
Sorry, Clarice.

976
00:48:55,600 --> 00:48:59,680
I I I'm looking forward to the
evolution of the Clarice

977
00:48:59,680 --> 00:49:01,960
character.
Yes, I'm excited to see if we're

978
00:49:01,960 --> 00:49:03,800
going to see them again this
season.

979
00:49:05,240 --> 00:49:06,400
Probably.
We probably will.

980
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,560
So he is now claimed right, He's
what was that?

981
00:49:11,520 --> 00:49:13,680
There's like a bang.
That was so weird.

982
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,240
Below.
OK, cool.

983
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:25,680
So he's claimed Poseidon.
As soon as it's a claim, there's

984
00:49:25,680 --> 00:49:28,880
like a Bang Zeus.
I'm sorry.

985
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:33,760
Great cabin.
Cabin 3.

986
00:49:35,480 --> 00:49:37,120
So good.
Where does he sleep?

987
00:49:37,120 --> 00:49:38,960
Does he sleep in the water?
In the pool?

988
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:40,520
In the middle?
He just floats.

989
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:44,360
Yeah, I can't get wet.
I love the thing of like because

990
00:49:44,360 --> 00:49:47,520
he's part of like the Big Three
or like a higher on the

991
00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:49,800
hierarchy.
God like, there's just more like

992
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:53,320
aspects to his powers, right?
He can heal in water, he can

993
00:49:53,320 --> 00:49:57,800
control water, he can speak to
water, he can be dry in water,

994
00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:58,840
he can do all these things
right.

995
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:02,960
But like we see from some of the
other ones, we don't really see

996
00:50:02,960 --> 00:50:07,000
them exhibiting powers like that
right yet.

997
00:50:07,360 --> 00:50:11,320
But I want to think that he does
have to sleep in that pool of

998
00:50:11,320 --> 00:50:13,120
water.
That was the first thing I

999
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:13,960
noticed.
They open the door.

1000
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:15,880
They're like, you're the first
and only one here.

1001
00:50:15,880 --> 00:50:18,320
I'm like, where's the bed?
You might have to stir it a

1002
00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:19,520
little bit because nobody's been
here.

1003
00:50:19,520 --> 00:50:23,000
Well, they're like, listen, the
we are not taking care of this

1004
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,040
pool anymore.
This is on you now.

1005
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:28,480
You've now inherited this.
Here's the schedule of the

1006
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:32,120
cleaning.
Well, don't forget though, sorry

1007
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:35,960
to segue from the the inner
workings of Cabin 3, because we

1008
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:37,600
really only get a glimpse of it,
right?

1009
00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:39,760
There's really not.
It's nice time.

1010
00:50:39,960 --> 00:50:42,280
It looks nice, right?
It looks spiffier.

1011
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,960
It looks higher end agreed than
Cabin 11.

1012
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:49,960
But the bad thing of him being
claimed by whom he was claimed

1013
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,560
by is that they're not supposed
to have kids.

1014
00:50:52,560 --> 00:50:55,960
Going to start a war secret love
child, yeah?

1015
00:50:56,240 --> 00:50:58,720
Yeah, so not good.
We get a conversation with

1016
00:50:58,720 --> 00:51:03,840
Kyron, Mr. D and Percy at the
moment, and we find out kind of

1017
00:51:03,840 --> 00:51:10,360
the points of the first book.
Slash first season, The master

1018
00:51:10,360 --> 00:51:13,680
bolt, Zeus's master bolt, the
bolt to rule them all has been

1019
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:15,880
stolen.
And he did it.

1020
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:18,880
And he did it, apparently.
Yeah, in the grand scheme of

1021
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:20,240
things, it would make sense,
right?

1022
00:51:20,240 --> 00:51:24,640
Like if I was Zeus, I'd be like,
you have a kid when we weren't

1023
00:51:24,640 --> 00:51:26,840
supposed to have kids.
Of course he stole it.

1024
00:51:28,280 --> 00:51:30,520
Like why would he not stolen
steal it, stolen it?

1025
00:51:30,880 --> 00:51:36,920
I think he interests brains.
I think the interesting thing is

1026
00:51:36,920 --> 00:51:42,360
that the gods are not all
knowing, right?

1027
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,520
They're very powerful, but they
don't know everything.

1028
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:49,680
They can still try and surmise
things, but not know the truth.

1029
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:53,920
Well, they like the smell of
burnt food, so, or begging as

1030
00:51:53,920 --> 00:51:57,080
the that one person said.
But like, you're not all that

1031
00:51:57,080 --> 00:52:00,600
great.
No, they're just messy bitches.

1032
00:52:00,680 --> 00:52:06,240
Yeah, but so he is given this
thing of like, you have to,

1033
00:52:06,240 --> 00:52:07,600
like, find it.
Who took it?

1034
00:52:07,600 --> 00:52:10,560
Probably Hades.
And then Grover comes in to tell

1035
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:15,080
him your mom's not dead.
And I've heard that when people

1036
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,360
mortals are at the edge of
death, Hades can like poop.

1037
00:52:18,520 --> 00:52:20,640
Cadet them.
He's like, so take that Mister D

1038
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,840
and Chiron, we're best friends.
Good for Grover, because also,

1039
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:26,320
like, if you think about it, if
he's going to have to go to the

1040
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:29,240
underworld anyway, like, why not
just tell him that his mom's

1041
00:52:29,240 --> 00:52:30,640
probably there?
Pick up your mom while you're

1042
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:33,600
down there.
How rude.

1043
00:52:33,600 --> 00:52:37,640
Why not make the quest bigger?
More pressure, More.

1044
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:39,960
You're sending a 12 year old
across the country and.

1045
00:52:39,960 --> 00:52:42,120
They're like, you got it kid.
Good luck.

1046
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:44,200
We'll send you with two other 12
year olds.

1047
00:52:44,360 --> 00:52:48,720
There's also a stipulation with
the quests that it's always

1048
00:52:48,720 --> 00:52:52,120
taken up by three We know who
our three are.

1049
00:52:52,560 --> 00:52:55,320
Luke, Clarice and Percy.
Imagine.

1050
00:52:55,320 --> 00:52:58,760
Twist, A twisted version.
He changed for the show.

1051
00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,400
What a mess that would.
Be I wouldn't like it.

1052
00:53:01,920 --> 00:53:04,160
No.
I need my Grover and Annabeth

1053
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,880
and Percy together.
He needs two people to support

1054
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:08,920
him, not try and take him down
the entire time.

1055
00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:11,840
The entire time.
One thing that we haven't

1056
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,360
mentioned yet, though, that
happens in these two episodes is

1057
00:53:14,840 --> 00:53:17,960
these visions slash dreams that
Percy keeps having.

1058
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:23,240
They're a little different from
the book, but I like it because

1059
00:53:23,240 --> 00:53:26,240
ultimately the dreams are all
kind of leading to one thing.

1060
00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:35,720
I want to go out on a limb and
say that that person in his

1061
00:53:35,720 --> 00:53:38,160
dreams, that's like taunting
him, like stop while you're a

1062
00:53:38,160 --> 00:53:40,200
head little hero, you don't know
what you're doing, blah blah

1063
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,800
blah.
I'm curious, who do you think it

1064
00:53:42,800 --> 00:53:44,840
is?
Because if they're ultimately

1065
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:49,760
kind of setting it up for more
of the series, you have a theory

1066
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:52,680
of who it might be.
I think it ultimately is the

1067
00:53:52,680 --> 00:53:55,120
Titan Kronos.
Yeah, I think it's Kronos.

1068
00:53:55,240 --> 00:53:57,240
That's what I'm thinking too.
Like I don't think it's Hades,

1069
00:53:57,240 --> 00:54:00,280
like that would be kind of odd.
Hades, I think, is right now

1070
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,120
just stuck in the middle of his
two brothers.

1071
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:03,400
You're.
Just like guys, it's.

1072
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:07,240
Like I'm under here, stopping,
vomiting me in this.

1073
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:10,520
I have too many people here.
Have you seen this place?

1074
00:54:10,520 --> 00:54:16,040
It's overrun with the dead.
So that's the first two

1075
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:18,920
episodes.
I mean, this is very

1076
00:54:18,920 --> 00:54:21,040
introductory, right?
Very well done.

1077
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:24,640
I think it's crafted beautifully
from the source material.

1078
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:27,640
I'm excited to see where they go
next.

1079
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:31,560
I need to know.
I want to see Medusa and I think

1080
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:33,040
that's the next I.
Think that's the next one too.

1081
00:54:33,680 --> 00:54:36,680
I so not to compare this to
other things that we've watched,

1082
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,680
but usually when we watch things
for a second time, I'm like,

1083
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:45,800
I've seen this already, no?
Yeah, this time, the second time

1084
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,920
around I was.
I couldn't believe how quickly

1085
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,440
it went because I was enjoying
it so much.

1086
00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,720
It didn't feel like, oh, we have
to watch it again because of

1087
00:54:53,720 --> 00:54:54,760
this it.
Was like exactly.

1088
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:56,120
I kind of want to.
I want to watch this.

1089
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:56,920
Again.
And I was excited.

1090
00:54:56,920 --> 00:54:58,200
I was like, Oh my gosh, I forgot
that but.

1091
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:01,520
They are a great length too,
because it feels like a lot

1092
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:06,840
happens, but they're 3734
minutes, 40 minutes kind of

1093
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:08,760
standard, but like not that
long, right?

1094
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:12,200
It's not an hour long, and I
like how it had that feeling

1095
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:13,680
from the book.
It's very episodic.

1096
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:17,320
This thing happens here.
Now we're in Montauk, now we're

1097
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,680
in Camp Half Blood, you know?
So it's not all about the extra

1098
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:21,720
stuff, right?
You're.

1099
00:55:21,720 --> 00:55:23,120
Right.
They're the information they're

1100
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:24,960
giving you is pertinent to the
pot.

1101
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:30,720
And now we have 6 more episodes
and we have to go to New Jersey,

1102
00:55:30,720 --> 00:55:34,160
New York, Denver, Las Vegas,
Saint Louis, LA.

1103
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,000
That's six places like.
So we're going to be flying

1104
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,040
through these episodes.
It's a lot, yeah.

1105
00:55:40,360 --> 00:55:43,080
Oh my God.
I'm excited to see our trio.

1106
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,360
They're fantastic.
I think perfectly cast.

1107
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,000
I don't even know who could be
them, right?

1108
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,400
They they had to find people
that, like, are new because

1109
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:56,080
they're younger, right?
But like, even just thinking

1110
00:55:56,080 --> 00:56:01,880
about to put into context, this
is like, hopefully like this

1111
00:56:01,880 --> 00:56:03,480
generation's Harry Potter,
right?

1112
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,160
It's like they're starting when
they're young and they're going

1113
00:56:05,160 --> 00:56:08,080
to like do this for a long time.
But like that commitment from

1114
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:12,800
these kids to, like, be like,
sure, I'll possibly do ten

1115
00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:16,520
seasons of of probably the
biggest series in the world

1116
00:56:16,800 --> 00:56:18,440
going forward.
So I don't know.

1117
00:56:18,440 --> 00:56:21,640
Kudos to them, you know.
Definitely, and I really enjoy

1118
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:24,320
the tweaks that they have made
to these characters.

1119
00:56:24,320 --> 00:56:27,840
I feel like, especially in the
first book, Annabeth and Grover,

1120
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:30,040
for the most part, are a little
one-dimensional.

1121
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:31,720
They get.
Better as the series gets.

1122
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,560
On yes, I completely agree.
But I think that they're already

1123
00:56:34,560 --> 00:56:38,360
laying the groundwork to see
them as more mature characters,

1124
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:40,000
and especially in the
three-dimensional.

1125
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:42,360
Yeah, exactly.
And in the depiction of Grover,

1126
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:46,520
whereas Grover in the books is
just a little nervous guy.

1127
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:48,200
Right.
He bleats a lot.

1128
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:49,880
Exactly, which I do miss a
little bit.

1129
00:56:50,080 --> 00:56:52,760
He hasn't done it yet.
No, but he does have his horns

1130
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,280
and his hooves.
But I do like this Grover that

1131
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:58,840
truly does care for Percy and is
willing to almost break some

1132
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:00,600
rules to make sure he's taken
care of.

1133
00:57:00,720 --> 00:57:03,240
Yeah, I mean, the seder's job,
right, is to get a seeker's

1134
00:57:03,240 --> 00:57:05,200
license to then, blah blah,
blah.

1135
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,080
I'm not going to spoil it for
people that are only watching

1136
00:57:07,080 --> 00:57:10,800
the show, but you can tell,
right?

1137
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:13,320
It's not just like, OK, I just
need to get these little

1138
00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:15,320
demigods to the camp so I can do
this thing.

1139
00:57:15,320 --> 00:57:17,960
It's like, no he.
Yeah, right.

1140
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:20,240
He's actually his friend, so.
Good.

1141
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:21,960
That chemistry is great.
I can't.

1142
00:57:21,960 --> 00:57:24,520
I can't wait to see the other
gods that we're going to see.

1143
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:27,240
It's very exciting.
We have like, I'm just thinking

1144
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:30,440
in my head of like that list
that I put together of like just

1145
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:33,600
the extras, the gods and
monsters.

1146
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,280
We have a lot.
Oh, so exciting.

1147
00:57:36,440 --> 00:57:39,640
So let us know what you thought
of the first two episodes.

1148
00:57:40,040 --> 00:57:41,920
Did you like it?
What cabin are you in?

1149
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:46,560
That I want to know, is anybody
hanging out with me?

1150
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:48,600
No.
Which one were you?

1151
00:57:48,600 --> 00:57:50,800
I don't remember.
Oh, great.

1152
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:52,960
It was like it was it was the
God.

1153
00:57:53,320 --> 00:57:56,120
I don't remember.
Demeter Yes, OK.

1154
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:59,520
I like how I remember.
It was like some sub God that

1155
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:01,960
nobody thinks of.
Typical.

1156
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:05,800
You know, Gavin, we're we're
half brothers.

1157
00:58:05,800 --> 00:58:09,600
You get you, You guys are just
sleeping in the pool on inner

1158
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:13,640
tubes.
I guess we want to get Bruni.

1159
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:15,520
That's fine.
Maybe rafts.

1160
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:21,800
You sleep in the raft.
So, so the next episode 3 and

1161
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:25,400
episode 4, we're going to be
releasing the day the episodes

1162
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:28,120
come out.
After that, we're in the dark.

1163
00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:30,720
We haven't seen anything.
Just.

1164
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:33,120
Half the series.
That's wild or easy.

1165
00:58:33,680 --> 00:58:36,720
OK, so till next week.
Also, Christmas is coming up.

1166
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:38,520
Happy holidays, Happy holidays.
Yay.

1167
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,840
Thank you for being the gift
that keeps on giving everyone.

1168
00:58:45,080 --> 00:58:46,000
All right.
So next week.

1169
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:46,240
Bye.
