Charlie Bushnell is a Luke Understander and so are we! We were so stoked to get screeners for the final four episodes mere hours before this interview. Naturally we had to binge them all and pivot most of our questions at the last second so we could talk about that EPIC LUKE TURN SCENE. So excited to finally share this conversation with you all. Topics include: Walker stealing Backbiter, Luke's gym playlist, and of course, who's gettin on that boat.
Make sure to also stream Charlie's new show "IN THE KNOW" on Peacock!
We hope you enjoyed the last seven weeks as much as we have! From watch-parties to analysis discussions to interviews, it's been a real party. We can't wait to share more interviews with various folks from the TV show in the coming weeks. Thanks for hanging out with us <3

Ch. 73-80 The finale we've all been waiting for! Told through Hazel and Percy's POV, featuring Owen from Through the Mist. We witness the glorious end of the Frank/Hazel/Leo (dare we say) love triangle. We encounter our final boss battle with Pasiphae and Clytius and maybe get some help from a betorched goddess along the way. Once all is said and done, we share a beautifully bittersweet picnic, say our goodbyes for now, and sail into the sunset... towards our doom.

We've got the final phase of Frank's grow up glow up, and perhaps the most iconic moment in all of House of Hades! We're learning how to step up, then learning how to yield. We might cry a bit, or a lot, possibly many different times.

Ch.57-64 featuring Robert from The Dam Meme Page! It's getting real y'all. Jason is about to find out if it's a bones or no bones day with the Southern wind, and Tartarus itself is physically manifesting just to smite down Percy and Annabeth. We're wondering what kind of future Jason will have with Camp Half-Blood or Camp Jupiter, and we're wondering WHO will be holding down the elevator button of the Doors of Death for 12 WHOLE MINUTES so the others can escape. We're thinking about our elders AND our descendants. Let's get into it.

Ch. 41-48, ft. bookseller and real life English major Alex Mann! Covering lots of territory this week from Piper's power-up (speaking life into Festus), to #DarkPercy poison-bending. Discussions surrounding the nature of charmspeak and femininity, the friendship we wish R.E.D. and Piper had, the bonding time Hazel and Piper finally get, and, as always, the power of friendship. Then, conceptualizing the Death Mist in a grotesquely bodied way, and a beautifully terrifying character arc for Mr. Percy.
Welcome to a very special interview with Lori M. Lee, the latest Rick Riordan Presents author of Pahua and the Soul Stealer! We've been ranting about how great this book is on twitter for weeks now, and we're so excited to share this conversation with you. Whether you've finished the book or haven't started, we hope you'll enjoy this episode about angry young women, slow burn friendships, fan fiction, and how we should look critically at the past.

Ch. 29-37, Pure Percy and Annabeth POV with returning guest Ola Amokomowo! Percy is feeling like maybe he's not the main character anymore, getting humbled by every new challenge he faces, and wondering if, given the chance, he'd save Annabeth... or the quest. Annabeth on the other hand is being #AnxiousAvoidant, getting ready to go solo on her near impossible mission to locate and rescue the Athena Parthenos. Together, they have a lunch date on the river Tiber, our last calm Percabeth moment for, well, a while. Plus, perhaps the greatest Riordanverse Villain intro of all time!
Ch. 21-28! With returning guest Jackson Bunis, we talk underwater mermaid Camp Half-Blood, Frank/Leo tension, Piper's angst as she and Jason have their turn in the stables (surprise it is literally so awkward and sad), finally some tea on the Athena Parthenos, and Piper's #GirlBoss glow up as she takes down Hercules himself.

Welcome to Erica, Carter, Jackson, and Ola working as a group to unpack all the Jason Grace feelings together. Why is he here? What tropes is he working within and against? What exactly is his arc? There are endless thoughts to be had and essays to read on the white male protagonist and other concepts we *very* lightly brush upon in the show so as always, here are some links for more reading.

Join Erica, Carter, Jackson, and Ola as they begin to unpack Leo, Hephaestus, and why the hell Medea wasn’t brought back to Camp Half-Blood to teach witchcraft.
In this episode, we mention some retellings of the Medea story, which you can check out here:
As critical as we are of Rick’s portrayal of many of the female mythological figures in this book in particular, we do want to acknowledge that is the original myths themselves, inextricable from the patriarchal societies in which they were originally told, that first created harmful tropes and stereotypes these Riordanverse characters have occasionally fallen into. And we are so looking forward to Disney+ to give the screenwriting team a chance to rethink and reimagine many of the characters that appear in the Riordanverse. And as always, we highly recommend Helen Morales's Antigone Rising for more on this.

Join Carter, Erica, and special guest Brayden Stallman (Return to Camp Half-Blood) as they discuss Piper McLean’s journey through The Lost Hero, femininity, #internalizedmisogyny, and what it really means to be a child of Aphrodite.
Towards the end of this episode, we begin to ask questions about the kind of representation Piper brings into the Riordanverse. As Carter mentions, we are by no means a “qualified panel” to be discussing this, but we felt it was important to at least begin the conversation.
