Description

• We’re kicking off this week’s episode with Rick’s June 12 blog post.
• It’s always good when Rick reminds us how complicated it is to make a TV show!
• What’s an average day like for Rick and Becky?
• It’s awesome to hear they’re still doing rigorous COVID testing.
• Can you believe how many sets they’ve already gone through!?
• Rick is ALWAYS working on stuff—including a new book!
• Episodes are constantly getting tweaked, but this is a good thing.
• We once again need to recommend the behind-the-scenes documentary for Frozen 2.
• Rick also lets us in on some industry secrets.
• 
  The Last Fallen Moon by Graci Kim is out in the world and getting translated into Polish, Turkish, and Italian!
• Don’t forget to listen to our Graci Kim interview from last week!
• We saw some treetops and got very excited.
• BTW, we’re not going to speculate about cast members (you can visit @updatespercy for that)
• Read Riordan had a queer characters article go up, and we talk about why it was taken down.
• Maybe Moon Knight could raise interest in the Kane Chronicles adaptation!

• Stay up to date with all of the Percy Jackson TV show cast announcements right here.
• First up, Virginia Kull! Despite the fact that our dreams were dashed, we’re really excited to see her in this role.
• It’s very easy to love and empathize with Sally as a character.
• What do we know her from?
• Thank goodness she chose to become an actor instead of a doctor!
• We’re still riding high about the fact that we got Jason Mantzoukas right!
• Even Rick thinks he’s perfect for this role.
• He’s also been in a MILLION projects, so there’s plenty of proof he can play a character like this one.
• And who knew he was an accomplished jazz drummer!?
• Megan Mullally as Mrs. Dodds wasn’t who we were expecting, but we’re VERY excited about this.
• Her role on Will & Grace is iconic, but she’s been in plenty of other projects, too.
• She and her husband also have a podcast!
• Glynn Turman has had a legendary career, and we are in awe of everything he’s accomplished.
• He’s also pretty much a real-life Chiron without the horse body.
• We get excited about the roles we’ve seen him in, then talk once again about his first prominent role and the relationship he’ll probably build with Walker.
• And then there’s Timm Sharp, who is probably a cool dude even if he’s playing a terrible character.
• He’s been in some not-so-family friendly roles, but he’s clearly a funny guy.
• We’ll do another episode like this when more casting drops!

• It feels so good to be back to our chapters!
• Let’s start with Battle of the Labyrinth chapter 7.
• Kampê is a super old monster and that makes her even more scary!
• Briares is interesting and sad.
• Thank goodness for Paul Blofis.
• Poor Tyson was a bit disappointed, but we love seeing the growth in his and Percy’s relationship.
• Long live Dippin’ Dots, the ice cream of the future!
• It’s time to visit a demon dude ranch in Battle of the Labyrinth chapter 8.
• Blanket pronunciation apology!
• The idea of immortality and the fact that it’s not a guarantee is so interesting.
• Percy and Annabeth’s friendship is so healthy and beautiful.
• Prophecy Count #19!
• Triple G Ranch is kind of an awful place but the animals are awesome!
• Geryon is not an easy guy to imagine.
• It was nice to see Nico, but he’s definitely going through some stuff.
• Who paid to keep Percy and the others safe?
• So. Much. Poop.
