142: Underwear Deflation

Percy Jackson and the Olympians, S1E1 to S1E2 Three years ago, the Unwise Girls began their journey through The Lightning Thief. This week, we go back to the very beginning as we start our month-long coverage of the brand new first season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians. After a brief discussion on Riordan's lackluster statement on the continued colonization and genocide of Palestinians by Israel, we discuss what changes are necessary for adapting a book into a TV show, our initial impressions of the cast, the Disneyfication of all media, and about a bajillion other ridiculous little things too - it's a long one, folks, so sit back and earn some kleos! Come back next week for Percy Jackson and the Olympians, S1E3 to S1E4! Check out our Patreon!
