It started with a scream inside a quiet Maryland home,
a mother trying to protect the family dog and her son in the grip of a violent hallucinogenic rage.
By the time it was over, she was dead, and he claimed LSD made him do it.
His name, David Minor the 4th, and we talked to him.

Oh, I got chocolate on here.
Dude, that came out of my pocket.
This little chocolate mark.
Not the shirt, the chocolate.
You wasted the chocolate.
Well, both of them, though, I think.
Who cares about the shirt?
Yeah, well, pockets.
Watch Percy Jackson.
My name is Percy Jackson.
My name.
You were a half-blood.
The stories about gods and heroes and monsters, they are real.
That was my favorite scene.
Grover, why is there off a goat in your pants?
I'm a seder.
And I'm your protector.
That's what Tara said the first time she met me.
Why is there a goat in your pants?
My father.
That's with the hairy lake.
We're on the same team here.
You're a bad guy, Luke.
You're on the same team as us, you son of a bitch.
Percy Jackson, you have been claimed by Poseidon.
Nice.
Zeus is going to war with Poseidon.
I wonder if they're going to cast Zeus has.
Find what was stolen and see it returned
And you shall be betrayed
By one who calls you a friend
Bastard
You got it
Is that your searcher's license
Officially authorized to begin the quest for Pam
No matter what happens
We meet back here next year
That's this year
If you said that to me
I would say absolutely
And then I wouldn't show up
That's typical terror
lightning thunder waves the color blue all things percy jackson damn look at his hair
he's got good looking hair he does man lord of the wild if you were near give me a sign
lord of the wild rock shana uh felt like that was a sign for sure
Oh, Skeleton.
Oh, but it's one of his people.
That's right.
He said on an adventure to find his,
oh, God, I forgot the name of the guy.
Pan.
You just said it, didn't he?
Yeah.
Yeah, he did.
Gross.
Definitely gross.
Kind of cool, though.
Movement.
Oh, who's this?
Who are you?
Sidney.
No, it's not.
Is it?
You didn't hear she was casting this?
You're lying to me.
No, Sydney, Sweeney, half naked and all.
That doesn't want her eyes.
there she is
Sidney Sweeney
in all her glory
Allison Sims
Oh my god
What are you doing here?
Campers aren't allowed to search for Pan
We're not campers
Any walk over
We just want to see what you found
Let's see it
What were you just say?
For a moment
It didn't look like it right
It really did
Like her twin
Where's the rest of it
Rest of what
Another dead end
Luke is not going to be happy
I'd follow her.
Wait, are you guys part of Luke's rebellion?
What does Luke want with Pam?
You already seen too much.
Oh, okay.
Nice.
Cool.
Don't mess with the vines.
Get on the boat.
Whoa.
That looks great.
Awesome.
The Cracket!
Woo!
Oh, damn, I just got goosebumps for that.
Nice transition.
That's an exciting opening.
Oh, my God.
He's so much taller.
He grew.
Oh, my God.
He looks a lot older.
Yeah.
You are a serious teenage.
His voice is deeper, too.
Probably not like mine.
Wow.
See, demigods get ones that tell the future.
Voices a lot deeper.
Good times roll.
Usually, I talk this over with my best friends, but cell phones attract monsters.
You hear that?
Cell phones attract monsters.
Monsters! Monsters! Like...
That's how I got a hold of her.
I don't have to wait long.
I wonder what became of their stepfather with the Medusa head.
Well, not a stepfather, but, you know, whatever.
Frozen and cracked to pieces.
Hey, someone's up early.
It's the last day of school, miracle.
Last day of school, sweet.
Hey, Tyson.
This is yours?
Thanks, Percy.
Dyson?
Hi.
That's pretty cool, Tyson.
What is that?
Compass, so I don't get lost.
A cyclops.
This is Tyson.
He's a cyclops.
Uh-huh.
He lives with us now.
Mom met Tyson while volunteering in a homeless shelter.
There's a Cyclops in this other movie.
That's cool.
She got him enrolled in my school.
He's going to wear glasses, right?
Yeah.
Into my...
Oh, maybe not.
Where I was his only friend.
Percy.
Oh, man, he's got to take it.
Oh!
He's just flicking it up and down.
Oh, my God.
Mom was the only other person who could see his true form.
She sees a lot, actually.
What does this form look like to other people?
I wonder if she could see you.
what was about to happen.
Oh, what's wrong?
Does she have a power?
I don't know.
I had a nightmare.
He's about grew over.
He is taller than his mom.
Yeah, he could hit her now.
Drive you guys to camp tonight instead of tomorrow.
Why do you get any of his hopes?
I had a dream, too.
So she does have like a premonition power?
I guess.
A golden drakma spinning and a void on one side, a trident on the other, a size.
Kronos.
What do you think of me is?
I've been taunting them for like a year now.
Two things that feel so opposite are somehow...
Two sides of the same coin.
Right.
I was going for something more profound.
He's like, no, mom, you're not profound.
What do I always say?
Keep one eye open.
Being a real hero in standing up for others.
Listen to your mother.
Stand up for this guy.
Yeah.
to school. Last day of school. We're going to wrap it out and they're going to say
deuces. Dare program, baby. Don't do kids.
You don't have to wear it that low, you know. The mess protects people from same
monsters, so you're... Good. It does make me a little dizzy looking at the one eye,
so I'm going to focus on him. I want to poke it, poking in the eye. Humans and monsters
aren't allowed to end. Anaya. My mom's in Naya. Why she never knew your parents?
I don't. So how do you hold it? Oh, what? Creepy taxi.
I love how you just picked him up.
Put me down, big guy.
He said, put him down.
Oh, hell yeah.
All right, girl.
Oh, Tyson, hold your stop.
You know this cyclops.
It's okay, come me down.
His smile so cute.
Percy talks about you all the time.
Tyson.
You look at a picture all the time, right?
Dude.
Thought you were in Virginia with your dad.
What's going on?
You didn't have the dream?
Back Grover.
He doesn't have his beads on.
I dream about camp all the time.
Yeah, yeah, though.
Camp reject.
Right after I woke up, I sent an iris message to the big house.
What can I want to say?
Two bucks.
The answer.
But look, this guy did.
Who's that?
Yeah, there's the creepy witches in the sea of monsters.
I guess this book is this season of Dapsia of Monsters as well?
Now you tell me, go over and shop.
Yeah, my dream.
You think that's connected?
Oh.
Your Sater friend is in a dark, dark place.
Far from anything he's ever known.
Whoa, her eyes are like sealed.
Wild, yeah.
Extra passenger.
Extra fare.
Percy, I spent my last Drachma to pay for you.
Wait, what were you saying about Grover?
You know where he is?
The Grey Sisters see all.
Creepy.
Oh, she's a funny actor.
I have a Dragma.
So this is your boyfriend, huh?
She's in Last Man on Earth.
Yeah.
I never said boyfriend.
I did it.
Maybe we should just take the train.
No, the Grey Sisters are the fastest way to camp.
We got to go there now.
Okay, found it.
Found it.
I already feel like their chemistry and rhythm is much better.
Way better.
Yeah.
I'm with you on that.
Annabeth and Percy.
Ray.
Camp Halfblood.
Wait, tell me what you know about Grover.
Yeah, I think.

The time.
There's another boyfriend.

Ew.

We cannot tell.
Okay.
Well, they clearly don't need this to drive.
Let's get rid of it.
Oh.
Oh.
30, 31, 7512.
What does that mean?
Roll for 30.
31 75, 12.
Background effects.
Good, man.
Wait, is that not you?
Are you sure?
I thought you audition for this.
All my additions are just old hags.
I thought they did the makeup to look like you on the other people.
Forget it.
Even the way this is shot, like the cinematography.
Way better already.
The dynamic range of it.
the coloring is much better a little bit of a dutch angle here what's wrong just a little dizzy
space one has nothing on a gray sisters you tried a roller coaster did you love it i said space

Because I did reach your letters
Oh
Honestly, I felt like you left some stuff out too
Did you hook up with someone?
What?
Oh, okay
I wonder if the comments are like
kind of guiding them
Yeah, and like where to go?
They're following a trail
Magma
Looks like a really good blend of
CGI and practical with the explosions
Yeah.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, what?
No, he's fine.
The power of a cyclops.
Strong man.
Yeah, I feel like it sure would be.
Cyclops are immune to fire and he'll be fine.
Let's go.
And his clothes are too.
Gnarly.
I told you he can't cross the border.
Oh, no, the Sasquatches are going to get him.
Percy, you got to be a hero.
Listen to you, Madre.
Athena fight, man, you're a fighter.
Come on now.
Oh, she's going to hold it.
Hi, behind me.
Give you permission to enter camp.
Oh, okay, cool.
Good moment.
Okay, I got you.
Tyson, come on, buddy.
Oh, shit.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Oh.
What happened?
It didn't work.
I got in you.
Because z.
We'll kick this guy out.
Mine guys, what are we doing?
We got to do something with this guy.
Oh, nice.
Got Thanos, Dustin.
Who was that?
Ready, vote.
Fire!
She's gotten older, too.
Yeah, the emotionality and, like, the range in delivery is, like, the actors themselves have...
Agreed.
...improved.
More presents.
Welcome to Camp Halfplay.
Usually there's more.
More is less.
Ground assault.
Yeah.
Giant cannibals from the far north.
Odysseus fought in once.
Strong but stupid.
They fight like a team, so not that stupid.
Why attack the back of camp?
This could have been a distraction.
Because it's a weak.
Uh.
Yeah, all right.
You mean like the barrier?
Created by Thali's tree.
Oh, no.
Their defenses are down.
Oh.
The Luke.
You asshole.
Luke!
Don't do this, Luke.
You running again?
I'll see you out there.
Okay.
Fly.
Solid effects, man.
It's hard to make that look good in broad daylight.
They did it.
Yeah, they did it.
Mm-hmm.
What is it?
She's losing her life.
Elder python venom.
Luke poison her.
What a prick.
Tree is a girl?
All trees have life.
She was a daughter of Zeus.
He saw her sacrifice.
Didn't save her, but did change her into something that could save others.
That tree makes the magic shield.
That's right, man.
Hell you save Luke's life.
How could he do this?
Because he's not Luke anymore.
Yeah.
He serves Kronos now.
That's all he's about.
Kronos?
Lord of the Titans.
He wants to take down Olympus and now, so does Luke.
He'll destroy anything if it helps bring the Titans back to power.
Cyclops.
12 o'clock.
It's smart to have this.
Cyclops character to reintroduce the series
because they're using him as the audience
like fish out of water to recap who?
Yeah, to recap, yeah.
Camp stand strong.
Ew.
Oh, him. I love him. He's such a good actor.
Oh, he's in Veep. Yeah. I love him.
It was Luke. He led the Giants right to this spot.
Who are you?
Percy Jackson. Son of Poseidon. I've heard all about you.
It's actually really believable makeup. Yeah, great job. I was just
going to say his hair makeup. Looks great.
And you're king, tantalus of Anatolia.
You're the guy who can't touch food no matter how hungry he gets.
God, that's terrible.
What is that?
Cyclops.
Ah, right.
Kill it.
He's with me.
He's not a threat.
He's...
My brother?
No, no, no.
Something else is speaking to them with the tree.
Oh.
Oh, oh, dad came through.
He's your brother.
Oh, so is I said.
I literally don't remember that.
at all from if that's in the movie i don't either i'm like is it his half brother or full it's got
to be a half brother yeah obviously because she didn't she mom would have said just beside and slept
around yeah that's right he never could keep his trident to himself oh boy it is rather funny
yeah you got to keep an eye on oh boy i know you too you're the one who opened the iris message
into my private quarters you mean kairan's office you mean my office how about a kairn
Handelis here is the new activities director as decreed by Zeus, who also booted pony boy on account of the fact that he's the son of Kronos.
Ah.
Oh.
Zeus is also a son of Kronos.
Why doesn't he just boot himself?
Okay.
Look, Peter.
I'm going to let you know that the danger the camp is under is greater than you can possibly imagine.
Uh-oh.
I love Jason Manzirgos, man.
He's great.
Alice had the delicious idea.
What a great set.
To revive the chariot races as this year's camp-wide competition.
Cool, I'm down.
Let's gladiator to this shit out.
I don't think we need to postpone more Dionysus.
Oh, really?
No.
Can't eat.
Oh, that would be terrible.
Is this just your basic seasonal attack, with the most damage done to camp around?
Which the chariot race could help restore.
Are you serious right now?
We need a quest to heal thalius tree.
Heal the tree.
Yeah.
Pop, give us a quest.
I don't think I like your tone.
Uh-huh.
Luke was here and he knew what he was doing.
If the tree falls, the barrier falls, and camp will be open to any attack.
To every attack.
This is serious business.
The only demigod monster alliance I've seen today is between you and your Cyclops' brother.
So why don't you go join him in cabin confinement immediately?
Uh-oh.
It'd be worse.
Mr. D. Are you okay with this?
I also find your tone a little harsh.
Something you'd like to add?
Nope.
No.
She's going to disappear and break into the cabin.
It's Percy.
It's always the talk of the town, this person.
Oh, he does have his beads on now.
That's weird continuities.
He hadn't had him in the other scenes.
Did you know this whole time?
But you said your mother was a nyad.
You knew that.
So how did you know that?
I didn't know.
Did your mom know?
We're best friends.
Like Percy's mom?
We're not bros.
Well, you are.
It's just a lot for me.
Like, it must be for you.
Except, uh, Tadis is a lot more welcoming about it.
Yeah.
I'm just not sure what it means.
It means I'm all alone.
Oh.
Yeah, dude.
Alone.
Like how his eyes are alone.
One is the loneliest number.
So that's it.
Do you want to talk?
In the back.
Outside.
In private.
Under the bleachers.
Do you want to walk?
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
Come on.
Come on, we're already in trouble.
What are they going to do?
I mean, these guys.
Do a walk and talk and talk.
Punish.
I'm kind of talking to him right now.
Why don't you come in?
No, it's cool.
It's okay, for real.
She's got a problem.
I was going to check the damage to Dali's tree.
Maybe talk to the dryads about it.
Nah.
She's going to make a move.
You spent your last drop when to pay for my cab fare.
That means you had at least two.
This whole year, why didn't you reach out?
That's what I'm trying to do now.
Give me a few minutes.
Don't worry about it.
Just get some sleep.
She says one thing, but that's not what she feels.
It's not what she means.
She means, screw you.
Fast, Dad.
You already said no.
Yeah.
Can't reject a woman.
A woman's ego is too big.
Unlike a man, humble.
In the streets, you can't, because the monsters will know.
There's a sphinx who told me on 77th Street.
Okay.
Have you met that sphinx?
I feel like we have.
He said, my mom was an eye, and my dad was one of the gods.
Hmm.
I just thought he was tricking me.
Monsters come after you a lot out there.
Oh, it's back.
Markings on it, yeah.
It means you're safe.
He's so soft.
And I think we'll get good sleep.
I love Titus.
I would love to own a lantern.
You could just buy one.
It's not the same.
Or someone comes to my door.
Who goes there?
I know you're hurting.
Can you still hear me just asking because even before Luke left,
you were the only one I could really talk to.
It was like a one side of conversation, though.
I just need to know how.
No, I can hear the tree.
Please, tell me how.
everyone's getting visions
oh
that the beach
were grovers they got to go rescue
grover still
did it
it put him back in the sand
not okay
was it rescuing him from something
I don't know
and then that rolled the rock back
he looks so different
he really does
Percy
is that you
go over
Percy
oh nice
is that a mirror
why are you wearing my clothes
I think for the same reason
you're wearing mine
oh wow
does that make sense
I think that makes sense
what yeah tell me
were you recently in a taxi with Anabeth
and like a cyclops
yes
it's a bond
telepathic empathic bond
between a Sater and a demigod
that can cut through
time, space, and dreams.
Super rare.
Oh, that's cool.
It can only happen between best friends.
Yeah.
Ah, sorry.
Sorry.
Best friends do have, like, telekinetic, like, psychic powers.
It's been proven.
Read about it.
I have no best friends.
I know.
I have employees.
Stupid.
Stupid.
Oh.
Look, we don't have a lot of time.
I really am trapped in this cave, though it doesn't look.
look this cool in real life with the mirrors
and how did you get here?
Sea Monster. That's
C-monster. Polyphemus.
He's using threats from the fleece as bait for saters
because its nature magic gives off the same
scent as Pan. Oh.
Wait, that's what Luke's team was after. Not Pan,
but the fleece. Governa. What fleece? The golden
fleece. Okay.
Pan. It has a power to heal anything or anyone.
Sea Monster. Golden fleece. Heels anything
in anyone. Because of the power has to
heal anything, anyone. Tell me exactly where this cave is.
30, 31, 75,
12. Oh.
coordinates so we need that for the tree the golden fleece right ah yes yeah it'll heal anything
oh good call wrap that puppy around that tree the lighting in this new season is a lot more moody
it seems like everything about this is so much more right they've really got more you know
stylized which i like because before we were like looks like a disney tv show and now i'm like look
of this, right? It's moody.
There's shadows in contrast.
Thank goodness.
And as I was saying, there's like, there's dynamic range and not just the performances,
but also the expression of the lighting.
Totally.
They grow and so did the show.
I know how to save camp.
The golden fleece.
They all get the golden fleece.
But first they have to defeat Sidney's Sweeney.
For a moment, I was like, he's right.
She looks like it did. It did. It really did.

for allowing us to fulfill something
we didn't think was possible.
Oh, that's a recap.
We don't want a trailer for the next year.
We don't want trailers.
No.
We hate trailers now.
We want the real thing.
We want the real thing.
Let's watch the next one.
Call it a day.
Bada bing, bada boom.
We get the job done.
Let's go.
All right.
Here we go.
Hit play right now.
Hit play, huh?
He's hitting play.
Tell me exactly where this cave is.
30, 31, 75, 12.
30, 31, 75, 12.
I know how to save camp.
It does strike me as odd that they wouldn't want to protect,
like, heal the tree when the tree is the thing
that keeps them protected.
Exactly.
And it will, anybody else could be let into this camp
if the tree's not saved.
Whoa.
That looks cool.
The heck are these things.
See?
There is a perfect example.
How long you think we got before they get through?
Could be a day, it could be a week.
Mm-hmm.
Some failing birds can sense the border's failing.
That's why they're gathering.
So they're monsters.
Channelist is still bound by camp rules.
If he threatens you, Article 5...
Subsection 3.
I know.
It's a good planet and I give great distraction.
Trust me.
Percy.
Annabeth?
Ha ha.
Getting in trouble is like breathing for me.
Okay?
I got this.
Good.
Because you've just been made.
I feel like their height difference actually flatters their chemistry.
in some way now?
I think so, too.
I'm not sure why.
Well, it's why they put, you know,
Tom Cruise on an apple box
to make him seem taller
and more like, manly.
I think they took a lot of notes.
They did.
Because even this lighting,
you're like, this is kind of,
it's just more cinematic.
I really like it.
It's markedly improved in everything.
Maybe they were like,
this is what we wanted the whole time.
We just didn't have the money yet.
And now they do, I don't know.
They watched our reactions.
They did.
They listened.
They watched it three weeks ago, and they were like, we got to do what we do.
We had to redo everything.
That looks like the picture of the guy that she had in the car.
Was that a photo of tantalus?
I thought there was a photo of tantalus.
Was it?
Yeah.
Okay.
Oh, look at all those things.
They were saying they needed.
Travel coins.
Traveler's checks.
Broken mirror.
Why is there a broken mirror?
Oh, cool.
Does that show us what?
Oh, Iris, goddess of the rainbow, except my offering.
Oh, that's cool.
Kairon.
Oh.
Oh, he's back right now.
Oh, that's cool.
He's partying, hard.
I'm in Miami.
Visiting relatives.
And I'm strictly forbidden.
From contacting campers.
But you didn't. I contacted you.
Yeah.
Good technicality.
Wait, so these things actually let you fly?
Is that legal?
I mean, helps balance on turns and can give you a little lift when you jump.
Think you could jump this?
Don't worry.
You'll never get close enough to find out.
Oh.
I don't think I can catch you because I can be very persistent when I mark my prey.
Chemistry.
Back up a little.
Oh, dude, what's wrong with you?
Were you not?
Oh, dude.
Come on, man.
Shut up, Jackson.
Aren't you supposed to be in lockdown?
Indeed.
She was a brat, though, earlier, so I don't feel that bad for her.
She was super villain.
this last season?
I know how to fix the barrier.
A golden fleece.
It's been lost for ages.
I know where it is, though.
30, 35, 71 plus 83.
31, 75, 12.
75 degrees, 12 minutes west.
Percy learned the exact coordinates in a dream.
30, 31.
48. 12 to 19.
Shit.
90 of the amount of days you have left under house arrest since you broke
Hamper rules.
Thank you for bringing that up, actually.
Article 5.
Dude, I love it and everything he's doing in this.
He's so good.
Yeah, right?
He feels like a true lead right now.
I agree.
Like the chariot race.
Like he's so much more...
Like he spent a year and a half in acting classes with a marriage.
He's so called.
He's like so much more confident.
It feels like when you watch the Harry Potter movies and you watch the
Empress. Yes, and you watch him grow.
I will tell you now why you must indeed find a way
The quest for the golden fleece.
Everyone in Miami must be like, who the hell is he dugged?
Right.
And why Percy Jackson may not
under any circumstance to join you on that quest?
What?
What?
Yeah, that's what we're saying.
That's complicated.
He's doing the exact opposite thing.
And when you fall under a chariot wheel
or getting paled by a spear, I am going to collect.
Yeah, I love how classical his makeup looks
out of like a Frankenstein movie or something.
Yeah.
He wanted this quest to happen.
He can't allow Percy to fall into his trap.
Okay.
When am I supposed to tell Percy?
I can't lie to him.
Yes, you can.
Kyron.
Lie.
I can't.
Lie.
I'm sorry, Annabette.
Wait, she won't or can't.
Not only can you not tell him, he can't know, there's something he can't know.
That is a personal conflict when they were just talking about being more open with each other.
Not anymore.
That's all gone to the pooper.
Hey, did you get in touch with Karon?
No.
He says I had to win the chariot race tomorrow.
The victor is granted a boon from the gods.
When I win, I'll ask for a quest for the golden fleece.
We ride together, we're unbeatable.
Which is why we should race separately.
What?
This isn't about Tyson, is it?
He can't know.
He just feels totally alone.
I'm just trying to do the right thing.
I don't care about Tyson.
This is just about doubling our chances to win.
Smart decoy.
And whoever does picks the other to go on the quest.
Race this tomorrow.
Better get prepped.
This is, that's uncomfortable.
Yeah.
Well, yeah.
It's that.
Better character dynamic writing, too.
I like positioning her like that.
Do you save camp?
Working on it.
I wrote Sally a letter.
What did you say?
Just that we made the camp to let her know.
Oh.
Is that bad?
No.
She says my mom, you know.
What you got there?
Yeah.
Jelly.
New compass.
To take on your quest.
Wow.
You made this today?
Better tools here.
Aw, Tyson's so sweet.
You met dad before.
Right?
Yeah.
When can I?
Oh, that's a sad way to say that.
That's kinda up to him.
Yeah.
The gods show up when they want, not when we want.
I think Poseidon's pretty busy.
I don't think he wants to be.
Poor dude.
Sometimes I feel he wishes he could see us more.
Okay.
Done.
He only met him one time.
You wanna get out of this cabin?
He's gotta build the Gladiator thing.
That's against the rules.
I can fix that.
Yeah, I've done a really good job at having every character.
There's something else going under.
underneath the surface of the performances.
A lot of good subtext.
That's a fun production design.
It does feel like children built it,
which is the reality of the...
Yeah.
Oh, man, they're going to break through in this episode.
Whoa.
I got an inventor on our hands.
Weapons allow dirty tricks and courage.
You skipped, no killing?
Killing not so much, but things happen, et cetera, et cetera.
I'll think you on Aries count.
Take it.
Here comes Percy.
I tried it.
Glory to Aries.
Glory to Aries.
Should we do it.
Gloria to Poseid?
I don't want to make that problem.
Oh.
I don't want to hurt anymore.
Just focus on defense, okay?
And remember, don't target Annabette.
Vrante.
Target, Percy.
If the Poseid and Terriot takes the lead, you take it out.
I thought you and Percy were tight.
Not today.
Attend your mark.
Oh, this music's really great.
Music's been pretty good.
It's been good that's the start of the series.
Yeah, it's true.
Oh, wow.
Oh, God.
Oh, wow.
Dirty.
Oh, we are really moving and grooving.
Wow
Oh they're doing that like frame rate
shutter speed thing
They do with these like gladiator like movies
I can't shut it down
We gotta move it away on the crowd
Uh oh
Take out the cyclops
Oh wow
I'm right for it
You underestimate the cyclops
Oh god
Good job of the stunt horses
They're so close together
Oh, great!
Whoa!
Great stun!
Right in the frame.
Oh, shit.
Oh, you're going back for her?
Oh, God.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
Nice.
I got that was time together.
Oh, no, they're breaking through.
They're breaking through.
They're breaking through.
This is why you want to heal the tree.
I mean, they're in.
Almost.
You'll have to work together.
Stop thinking about the match so much.
Oh, this is not good.
Oh, gosh.
Watch your face, buddy.
Oh, man.
Oh, God.
Scream.
How do we fight him?
Hercules use noise and defeats to failure and flock.
They can't stand high pitch out.
Oh, sending in Terra.
Yeah, that's true.
That could work.
Okay.
This song switch motion.
Oh, the high note from Mariah.
I love it.
Look at teamwork.
That's very funny.
Couldn't you just have people scream into it?
Not at that high note.
That's a Mariah skill right there.
Once again, Percy.
Saving the day?
We did it.
Ha, ha, ha, buddy.
You did nothing.
As your camp director and as a parent to at least some of you.
Some of you.
The chariot races will be rescheduled.
Yeah, that's what they care about.
A distraction.
The barrier generated by Thalia's tree will not fail.
What are you talking about?
How do you know what?
It just did.
For the key to our survival has been foretold to me in a dream.
Hmm.
Three of you must quest for the legendary golden fleece.
You asshole.
My God.
301.
No, 7512.
7512.
Wrong numbers.
Are the sailing.
coordinates to the island of Polyphemus, our champion will brave the sea of monsters.
Yeah, so it would be Percy, Adameth, and Titus, right?
Yeah, right?
And restore our borders to their full strength.
Or he's going to send three of that he chooses, but they're going to go to the wrong
location, because he said 30, 24, and that's not right.
When the camp was attacked, only one of you showed the strength and courage to prevail against
all odds.
Oh, he's going to go with the other girl.
Yeah, the mean one.
Clarice Leroux.
While the rest of you gave up,
she continued the race,
thus passing the test.
Oh, damn.
She's a main character this season.
Hold on.
The dream came to me, not tantalus.
And those numbers aren't even the right.
Just pick two lucky winners
and then let's get this show on the road.
She'll be.
Clarice.
Please pick me.
You'll want someone with quest experience
With skills that'll complement your might
She's going to go there
Because she can't go with Percy
I choose Annabeth Chase
Good night
Or Percy
This is great
I'm included
Yeah, right
You could accuse me
It's an ocean quest
You'll need someone good in the water
That's a great argument
Percy says
I need somebody to be good in the water
And she says other girls like
We make a good team
Yeah
No specifics
I
I would definitely go
She was gonna choose Percy
But now she's like
Don't do it
I choose Chris Rodriguez.
The boy from earlier.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
She liking him.
He's so mad at her right now.
I feel so dicked over right now.
Yeah.
Until our barrier is restored to all this information comes from him.
He's allowed to leave camp except for those chosen to quest.
Oh, then Titus and Percy would like break out and go on their own.
Article 7.
Yes.
That's what I meant.
Like, yeah.
To shoot on site.
Oh, geez.
That's it.
Back to celebrating.
Snap back to reality.
Oh, there goes gravity.
Did you get your quest?
No.
Clarice did.
She's pretty cool.
Remember they fired it.
I love him.
They bounce off each other so fucking well on their energy dynamics.
It's so good.
And then Annabeth whispered something to her, and she didn't.
Like Percy's angst pants us off so well off his, you know, sympathetic side.
Sally says I shouldn't ease strong.
But he knows what she, yeah.
Tyson, what did Anna Beth say?
I'm your brother, Tyson.
Bronte, if the Poseidon Charite is the lead,
you take it out.
I thought you wouldn't percy, we're tight.
That's why I'm asking you to do it.
Oh, that shot looking over was, damn.
That's terrible.
As soon as he gets dark and this place clears out,
I get scared in the dark.
I know, but you'll be safe here, okay?
Dude, I fucking love this, Titus guy.
I promise.
No, he's gonna follow him out.
There's no way he's gonna stay there.
And I love the.
blue lighting, like how the production
like blues up a lot more of the sets
now. Complement the theme of Percy.
It's not so bright. Where will you go?
30, 31, 7512.
Percy.
How did you? I didn't.
You're still asleep and so am I.
Look. The empathy gate.
Well, that's kind of scary.
So we're both in a wedding dress.
What is he?
What?
Hey?
Grover.
Yes?
I gotta ask.
Yeah.
The dress keeps me safe.
His eyesight's not so good.
You mean the monster it took you?
Polyphemus.
He knows I'm here, but he thinks I'm a lady.
Hey.
Oh.
It's okay.
That's Tyson.
He's staying here now.
Uh.
How is Annabeth feel about that?
I really don't care.
They're not speaking right now.
Hey, I'm not taking sides.
I don't know the details.
But did you explore the possibility she might have a good reason?
To betray me?
I did.
That's true.
What was that?
The boulder that blocks the cave.
It's coming back from work.
It's going to want dinner. I've got to wake up.
Damn.
It's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding day, which is next week.
That's funny.
It's so smell. He thinks I were him. Go send it for a few.
Soon, he's going to realize I'm a stator, and the dinner is me.
How do I look?
It started with a scream inside a quiet Maryland home, a mother trying to protect the family dog
and her son in the grip of a violent hallucinogenic rage.
By the time it was over, she was dead.
And he claimed LSD made him do it.
His name, David Minor the 4th, and we talked to him.
Listen to Invisible Choir every other week as we uncover the most haunting true crimes you've never heard of.
Available wherever you get your podcasts.
like i love this lighting we never got this kind of moody lighting in the first season
go out there titus you be a wonderful asset yeah there's no way he's just gonna oh oh shit
what's this guy doing he was waiting for percy he knew percy would leave
that's right he just has powers where he can traverse the ocean yeah i forgot about
I've seen it yet.
I'm not asking for your help, and I'm not asking for permission.
Telling him?
I just need to know that you won't stop me.
Okay.
I know you can.
I know the sea is yours, but I'm your only son.
Uh, that's not true.
Yeah, I'm like, why would you say that?
That's rude.
But right now, Grover needs my help, and I'm not going to let some stupid laws about quests stand in my way.
All right.
Give me a sign. I have your blessing to do this.
Is there a sign?
What is that?
Dad?
Titus.
Not yours, kid.
Oh.
Oh shit.
Ermi's.
But I come bearing gift on a special message from your pops.
Quest approved.
That's what Poseidon said.
Quest approved.
He's not the god of excessive verbosity.
Hmm.
But you are the god of liars and thieves.
Well, I invented the liar, which some thieves stole, but why harp about it?
Remind you that I'm your cousin Hermes, herald of Olympus, and I helped you out last year with that thing in Vegas.
What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?
What happens in Vegas is the reason perhaps the kids in
Hermes cabin, but I never got any of them a present like that.
What is it?
Got me a cruise ship?
Got you a ride.
That ship is going where you need to go.
You're not telling me something.
What is it?
I'm guessing I'm gonna need whatever's in that back.
You're finally beginning to understand how things work in this family.
Oh, they got a head start ahead of all them.
Oh, now she's gonna bond with Tyson, right?
Because she's gonna wake him up.
Because she doesn't really like him right now.
Well, everyone's kind of xenophobic towards the Cyclops.
Thanks for coming by.
It's pretty creepy in here all alone.
Oh, where's Percy?
He went on a, um, I know a quest is an adventure with three friends.
But was it called when one friend leaves without telling anybody?
Love that.
He's so sincere.
Yeah, he really has.
Gail Force of Gustav get you where you need to go.
Cool.
You're the herald of Olympus and you seem really good with words.
So why don't you just tell me what you want?
Same thing as you, for you to save your friend.
And why would you want that?
I try to do everything right.
And I can't get my dad's attention for a second.
Meanwhile, Luke is trying to tear down Olympus.
And you're trying to save him.
He hates you.
He's life.
My son.
Gotta do what you gotta do.
I don't think Luke can be saved.
That's the first wrong thing you've said.
If I've learned anything through the eons,
is that you can't give up on your family,
no matter how tempting they make it.
Everyone can be saved.
Take all the time you need to decide.
Just do it in the next two minutes.
Go hang out with your abusive fathers.
That cruise ship's almost out of range of your boat.
Boat.
What boat?
Cool boat.
I like the rainbow.
This doesn't mean.
I agree.
Don't you dare stop him, Annabeth.
I know.
Are Annabeth anti-?
No, just her.
Okay.
Kyron told you something, is it?
What was it?
That you can't go on this question.
I figured.
Why?
I can't tell you that.
Why?
Because everything has changed.
I don't know what happened to you this year,
and obviously you don't want to tell me that either, and that's fine.
These kids have to trust themselves.
All of it used to be a secret, kept from me my whole life.
And I thought I was done with secrets.
I didn't like it.
What are you talking about?
Middle school, roller coasters, movies.
Oh, Space Mountain.
It wasn't fun.
It wasn't relaxing.
I was bored out of my mind.
I mean, yeah, when you have a life like this.
Yeah.
Did you watch Jaws?
When you've been hunted by a giant three-headed hound in the underworld,
scary movies are a joke.
That's the difference between me and you.
You can be a demigod.
And you can go home to your mom and just be a kid.
Hmm.
I just know how to be a demigod.
Oh, I'll show up to learn how to be a little bit more.
of a kid this season and that means we can't be friends because i don't believe that i think when you
talk about stuff it gets less scary are they gonna kiss yeah tell me about this other thing no they won't
okay he was like walking towards her like that's the problem the more i talk about that is scarier it'll
get oh that she likes him no dude maybe well the good news no okay i don't know what you two were
whining about it seemed personal so if you'd rather have your last words to each other just make it quick
Titus, knock this guy out.
According to the law, these have been tipped with celestial bronze, which is perfect for killing monsters.
Oh, boy.
And demigods.
No, no, no, Titus's going to show them.
God's will know what you've done.
I want them to know I was enforcing their laws, which their own children violated, knowing the risks full well.
It'll either be Tyson or Poseidon.
Titus or that other girl.
Oh, Clarice.
Is there.
Tidus.
Nice.
Get in.
You got to go.
You should have grabbed that bone or?
Yeah, why didn't we grab the weapon?
You never leave a weapon.
Always grabbed the weapon.
Oh, so it was these three that went off.
Well, Cyclops could stop that.
Guys, look out.
Oh, well, all right.
Let's.
We're going to patch it.
Yeah, bat it away.
There you go.
Nicely done.
Good job, Percy.
Brother with one eye.
I shall now refer.
to you his brother with one eye.
We poop the law. We can't ever return.
But if you save the day,
they might let you back in, kids.
You come back with the golden fleece.
Now we're going on a quest.
All right.
Now, I don't know if it's Titus or Tyson.
Titus.
I went back and forth. Are we sure, though?
It's Titus.
I don't.
Who would be named Tyson?
I, I'm not joking.
Just fast forward.
in the thing and see no it's titus i said titus in the beginning and then i thought i heard
tyson it's shut up and just wait oh i well now no i got to look it up on imdb because they don't
do the thing they do the thing you just got to wait where where just wait it did they go after
their fancy credits and then we get the whole credits and then i pause it to make you happy
Miss Wine, Wine.
I don't want to be spoiled.
That's a spoiler.
Oh, they show too much in the previews.
Okay.
See?
They just have the names.
Just be quiet.
They're not going to do it.
I don't know if you're right.
I'm looking it up.
It's fine.
Just start your review.
I think you're right.
Did they do it?
Yeah, they didn't.
Okay, fine.
Percy?
I know, no, you better hurry it up.
Jackson.
Before we both left.
Bronte
Oh, no
Okay, I guess you're right
They don't do it
Wow, that was embarrassing for me
Yeah, idiot
All right, where is he?
Oh my God, Terry, you're so bad at this
You're so bad at this season
Should I have typed in season two specifically?
It's Tyson
you're right you bitch i call them titus yeah you did and then you fought me on it
god yeah i'm sorry you're right about two things you're right about two things and i got to have
the two things because if it's only two things i got to have both of them well guys we just
watch percy jackson season two i got to get terror out here in like 15 minutes
I really do.
Let me text.
I mean, what exit are you off?
Probably by your house.
Yeah, I'm not going to say.
Don't tell them I live off of Sepulveda and Burbank right next to the Costco.
Lies!
No, no, no.
I live off of Witset.
and Oxnard right next to the whatever there.
Idiot.
Okay.
If you're listening to us on Apple or Spotify, do your job.
Give us a five-star rating.
If you're listening to Prepper on Apple or Spotify,
give Prepper a five-star rating for editing down the podcast, Spotify.
So, yeah, Tara, all right.
We've been on a journey with Percy Jackson.
Yeah.
We gave a lot of positive praise during this one.
did what just spill it spill the beans i am wildly surprised we made jokes that oh they took the notes
um everything that really we talked about especially when it comes down to the cinematography
and the lighting and the vibe it's much more cinematic it doesn't uh like jump from the screen
to where you go this is made for tv for disney tv specifically i feel like not only did the kids
grow the cinematography, the lighting, everything else did as well. And I feel like the pacing
was actually, it was good in this. And I do agree that Annabeth and Percy have a lot better
chemistry now, but my favorite and my most favorite edition is Tyson. Titis. Titis. He is so
just like sweet and
kind and he can fix
anything which is going to come in very handy
so yeah overall
I just I love it I thought it was
to me I had a lot more fun
in season two in these two episodes
than I did in season one
I agree man that was easy to just
actually surrender to
you know like the the for most
of season one for us
was a you know really focused pay attention and try to appreciate this exactly and it wasn't as did it come as naturally
um but this one in particular uh these two because first i was like that was really good yeah let's see if it
continues i was like it's continuing it's this is really awesome how much better everything is you know
it is it is finessed you want even if season one was really good you always want your season to to improve in some way
on just a bigger budget the acting is so much stronger which means the direction is so much
stronger directing from the way they do the cinematography there's actual like shadows there's
actual contrast it's not just this big bright volume or whatever or kind of flat looking lighting
which i kind of hate in a lot of movies and shows now there's dynamics to it and the biggest
issue that we had with the kids is the way they were directed where
there wasn't it like percy was the one who had the most range but even then it was with the other kids it kind of just felt like it was this one little wavelength of a neutral yeah yeah it was like it didn't have much there wasn't much range yeah exactly and there's versatility in their delivery now they feel more alive like real humans that were watching and that means the emotionality scenes when there's drama or is actually fucking you're feeling the drama the subtext you're actually
feeling that's what it all kept coming down to was last season felt like and i know a lot of
people vehemently disagree with us last season but i feel like there's a reason there's a market
it's a stark contrast on it like between this and i think it's kind of undeniable the contrast
of how starkly like more defined everything is is that the they i feel like they kind of
thought the same thing because it doesn't look like it's trying to look bigger than it
is the set's productions actually look
they know one to use visual effects
they know one to use practical designs like the chariot race
they were that was great it was real stunts yeah the the sea
creature that's keeping rover captive oh my god even the
the literally the thing we said in the final episode was like
everything about these is great i still don't really care about the three of them as
a dynamic right and then but annabeth and him fucking great
and i really like their chemistry a lot and everything that they're dealing with
underneath and even him and grover
play off each other so much better.
I feel like they became like real
friends in the course of making season
one and they grew up as like they obviously
physically grew and you mature
and maybe they still
hung out. I feel there's a lot of
factors that come into making chemistry
feel more natural. So last
season was I get the intention
I'm just not feeling it. Now
it's I see the
intention and I feel it. Yeah.
Because yeah the plot is just
so much more engaging. It's not
even as like the stakes feel a little bit more personal too like that the this might be the same
plot of sea of monsters i really don't remember the movie i don't remember but you know like that
the the chemistry that he has with his brother i like how conflicting that is for him of being the son
but you could see percy's having to struggle with accepting him as a brother just he had our time
accepting him before he knew he was his brother it just this presence in his life yet titus just
yearn, Titus Tyson, yearns
for connection. And yeah, the sincerity
is so, so strong. The addition
to that guy from fucking Veep,
I don't know his name. Oh, yeah, I don't
know his name either, but he's great. He's also
in succession, I think, in a few of them. Is he?
Yeah, he's awesome.
Slimy comedian guy. He's good at
playing those, like, pompous, arrogant, wants
to be in command. Totally.
Kind of individuals. And he's so tall.
I met him out of this
sag strike when we were in strike
like a couple years ago.
it's just like giant
I was like oh my god you're so tall
it looks like a tall feller
yeah so guy
yeah everything on a musical
component and this mission they're setting out on
I actually care about that's the thing is like
I'm emotionally invested and I'm just so
fucking relieved
to like come away with that feeling
as I was like maybe the last couple episodes
were just like a random good part
but who knows but I think these are better
than the last two episodes
they are season one
110% like you guys have to agree that even if you didn't agree with us on season one in our opinions of it that season two is obviously a lot better i mean you just look at it and things fly off the screen in a much more mature way um than they ever did in in season one and i did say while we were watching season one that i was like curious it was just the kids and they're acting but i felt like that has to be a director slash producers
choice to not go, hey, hold up in this moment, you're probably really pissed and or you're
pissed on the inside, let it kind of show there's some subtext there, but you have a smile
on your face, right? We felt those moments that there was a little bit more subtext in both
of these episodes than I ever felt in all of season one, which I, and that is what I'm talking
about flies off the screen. That's like what you're supposed to see in acting. That's what you're
see of no life.
You're like, you could tell
there's something going on underneath.
And it also feels like a real world now,
which is part of the big compliment
that we were giving to the last couple episodes
is that, but they had to go to like
the underworld and all this shit for it to feel that.
Exactly.
The big testament that it feels like
the Olympic shit that they keep talking about
is that they go back to camp
and it still feels that way.
Exactly.
Versus like a set where they have a bunch of actors
and costumes telling me what this world is,
but not actually getting the sense
that this world is as big and grave
as they're saying it is
but no, it lingers throughout
and even the girl, the fucking Clarice
Clarice, yeah,
she's even better, like, everything is better.
Everything is better.
And it's good.
I really, I am so surprised
by how much better this is.
Like, I enjoy this shit out of this.
This was easy to fucking, like, sit in too.
I'm trying to even think now.
like I was so wrapped up
at how much I loved the
improvement and how great of a lead
the guy who plays Percy is right now
that I don't I don't know
I'm even sure what I didn't like about it
I feel like there's got to be like a criticism
but I was so distracted by how much
I was liking everything.
You're saying a criticism about season to you.
There's got to be something that I didn't really like
but I can't quite pinpoint it right now
because I was just so happy
how much I was enjoying it.
And like honestly
Normally, I would think the one thing would be the pacing.
I thought episode two was better pace than episode one in this season, season two overall.
Episode one, I still really, really like both.
I feel like the only thing I'll say is just episode one.
I felt like I felt the time a little bit more.
I think in the last like 15 minutes.
Agreed.
Because it was like so exciting and then it, they had to slow down.
They had to.
You felt the slowness.
Yes.
With Sally and the tree.
And then, yeah, all of that.
that they were setting a foundation in order to get us to episode two.
Yeah.
And episode two, I didn't feel that pacing lag, which is great.
Yeah, I am way more on board with this, which is interesting because to wrap it up,
like the first season adapts the same story that the first movie adapted.
And I think we enjoyed the first movie more.
We did.
Then we did the second movie, but right now we're enjoying season two way more than the second movie.
Like the ironic flip about everything is.
Like this is what.
I wanted when I heard they were making it a show.
Yep.
And they're actually delivering it for, for us at least.
I know it did it for you guys, a lot of you guys are ready.
But for us, I'm like, this is, this is it.
So I'm just, even in looking at the poster for season two, even the posters are better.
Even the poster is better.
The vibe, the lighting.
There's a personality to the weather.
What is behind them.
That is what's in your imagination when you dive into a book and you're like,
and then an octopus and there's weather and there's lightning.
Yeah.
Like that's, that poster is like it's flying off with all the emotions that you want versus before we didn't have a, it was just a Percy Jackson thing.
Disney TV now they just, they've really up their game and thank goodness.
Thank goodness.
This was awesome.
I'm happy with it, man.
I'm really happy with it.
I'm glad we decided to carry on because there was a point where I was like, maybe we don't even hop in a season too.
I know.
I'm glad we did it.
We did it.
Guys, thank you so much for.
being here thanks to all who stuck around with us and hopefully the rest of the season carries on
being this good i know a lot of this is going to like bleed in like christmas and new year's
it's going to be a really weird time for us so i don't know how consistent we can be with it but uh we'll
do our best we'll do our best and at some point we will definitely get through them all thank you
for being here and we'll see you guys soon rejagnation
It started with a scream inside a quiet Maryland home, a mother trying to protect the family dog and her son in the grip of a violent hallucinogenic rage.
By the time it was over, she was dead, and he claimed LSD made him do it.
His name, David Minor the 4th, and we talked to him.
