On
Prophecy Radio episode #139, Karen and Kristen chat about all things SDCC! There's a cast panel to discuss, a trailer to break down, and a couple of additional news items you won't want to miss either. New episodes of
Prophecy Radio will air every other week. All discussions are PG-13.
Let's talk about the cast panel (00:08:00)
- Dan Shotz gives us a list of monsters we are definitely going to see in season 2.
- More practical sets this season, little to no Volume stage.
- Daniel Diemer proves his Riordan-verse fanhood with a story about sharing the books with his family and then getting to show them the set.
- Dior has a fantastic grasp of Clarisse's psychology in season 2.
- Hopefully someday we will get to see this teaser clip (and see a glimpse of Grover in the wedding dress, maybe?)!
- They built the entire set for the chariot race, which just seems insanely impressive to us.
- We get to hear a lot about on-set antics, as well as some post-shooting shenanigans involving Aryan, the actor playing Polyphemus, and Walker Scobell.
- A video from Rick Riordan himself reveals the two biggest casting announcements for season 3: Meet Nico and Bianca DeAngelo!
The trailer discussion (00:36:19)
- The first four characters we see are the trio and Luke the blade-poisoner... that feels significant.
- The undead/ghost soldiers with Clarisse look like they may come from more than one war era.
- Do you think casual viewers may believe that the black cloaked figure is Tantalus?
- Percy and Clarisse are fighting again.
- Are they dressing Luke in light colors for a reason?
- This archer we see: Silena Beauregard? Or A Hunter of Artemis?
- We think there is a lot this Alison Simms character can bring to the show.
- A quick appearance from the Oracle.
- Someone has a trident and saves Percy from being killed by Luke.
- Meet Tyson the cyclops!
- The Gray Sisters are going to be a really fun moment early this season.
The rest of the news (01:03:04)
- We talk for quite a bit about the Nico and Bianca casting.
- A Walker Scobell story about his chemistry read has us REALLY excited for Nico.
- Need a recap of season 1 without watching all the episodes?
- This EW recap video has a lot of visual reminders of all the biggest moments, characters, and more in season 1.
- Courtney B. Vance steps into play Zeus and knocks his tribute to Lance Reddick out of the park.
- Courtney's Zeus gets a few pats on the back from the show's stars.
- Fun fact: The actress playing Thalia played Lance Reddick's child in a Netflix series.
Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 140, where we'll discuss
The Red Pyramid chapters 33 and 34 (we promise we will this time), as well as get you up to date on whatever Percy Jackson news might pop up.
This episode’s hosts are: Karen and Kristen
