This week we're delighted to share a VERY educational conversation with Stunt Performer and Filmmaker Extraordinaire, Cassandra Ebner who just so happened to double for Walker Scobell in Percy Jackson Season 1! And before that, Carter and Erica freak out about Tina Fey's advice to Bowen Yang, reminisce about Robert's official documentary cameo, and plan a future Gray Sister's cosplay! Interview with Cassandra begins around 13 minutes if you'd like to skip the nonsense :)

We are SO EXCITED to be joined today by Percy Jackson and the Olympians Stunt Coordinators Eli Zagoudakis and Trevor Addie!!! If you find yourself wondering, hmm, what exactly IS a Stunt Coordinator? How does one start working in stunts? How did these dudes train a bunch of kids using ping pong and why is Walker SO good at sword fighting? You've come to the right place.

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

In this HISTORICALLY LONG Seaweed Brain recording, J.Maya and Sophia Raines are in the house to discuss Poseidon propaganda, Sally supremacy, therapeutic thesis statements, Annabeth's astonishing attributes in line with Hades, and whether or not the god of the dead has been talking to the frozen statue of Percy Jackson's mom for several days as his only companion in a dim and lonely palace (he defs has). Enjoy!
