Description

• Read Riordan lets us know how we can win a wilderness survival competition with the Hunters of Artemis.
• Make sure you go follow Tehlor Kay Mejia on Instagram, as she is no longer on Twitter.
• Roshani Chokshi’s A Crown of of Wishes is getting an adaptation on Disney+!
• It’s pretty cool that the show’s lead, Avantika, has ties to both Aryan Simhadri (Grover) and Charles Bushnell (Luke).
• This might even help pave the way for an Aru Shah adaptation!
• Kwame Mbalia gives everyone a pep talk for NaNoWriMo.
• Did you also hear the Kwame is heading up a new imprint for Disney Books, called Freedom Fire?
• Yeah, we’re super excited about this.

• Obviously a Nico and Bianca Easter egg is at the top of everyone’s lists, but there’s A LOT more Percy Jackson and the Olympians can do with this scene/episode.
• Obviously Karen’s first choice is to put a Disney Hercules reference in the show somehow.
• Maybe the kids could be playing the Hercules Playstation game that came out way back in 1997?
• You can currently buy this game on Steam. Is anyone a fan?
• Kristen also had some ideas for what kind of Disney Easter eggs could end up in the show.
• We gotta get Finding Nemo or The Little Mermaid in there somehow.
• But what about Doctor Who!? That could actually make for a GREAT crossover/reference.
• And, of course, there’s always Wreck-It-Ralph.
• Karen is definitely on board for the water theme—but she had an idea for what their rooms at the hotel could look like.
• Where would Grover and Annabeth stay?
• And how could we fit Oliver and Company into this world?
• We really couldn’t pass up this opportunity to drop some movie references.
• Wouldn’t it be cool if Logan Lerman or Alexandra Daddario showed up in the background as one of the adult characters in the hotel?
• It totally makes sense if the Lotus Hotel was hosting a convention that week!
• Really, though, Disney needs to hire us. We’re so good at this.
• Poor Grover needs a Lotus Hotel & Casino redemption arc after what he went through in the movie.
• Some famous missing person HAS to show up at the hotel. It just makes so much sense!
• Book canon and show canon don’t have to match exactly.
• Do we want the show to break the fourth wall at all?
• How cool would it be if this scene foreshadowed what would happen in Sea of Monsters aka Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2.
• How many classic videogames can they fit into this one scene!?
• What’s more likely, a Kingdom Hearts or Dreamlight Valley reference?
• Just please, for the love of the gods, don’t turn this into Ready Player One.

• This week, we’re talking The Last Olympian chapter 10.
• Thank goodness Mrs. O’Leary didn’t get put to sleep!
• Do we ever see the video shield again in the series?
• Where’s the line between science and magic within this universe?
• What is Grover up to right now? Is he back at CBH?
• Should Annabeth have been the one to direct all the troops, considering she’s a daughter of Athena?
• This is, like, a REAL war, you guys.
• Karen NEEDS that Death to Barbie t-shirt.
• Please give us a Thalia spinoff series!!
• Percy and Annabeth are such good people. How could you not love them!?
• These automatons are awesome and SCARY.
• The scene with the two rivers was pretty cool, but…
• Can someone please explain how the heck Percy knew what to do with the sand dollar?
• Percy’s got a lot of baggage when it comes to the Minotaur, and we can’t wait to see what happens next!
• Does it make sense that the demigods would be fighting for Olympus, specifically?

• Shout-out to Phoebe for also thinking a Hercules reference would be perfect to see in the Lotus Hotel & Casino scenes.
