Starting point is 00:00:30 just a bit. All right. You ready, Tara? I'm ready. Tara, here we are. Here we are. We watched Percy Jackson Sea of Monsters. Yeah, we did.

Starting point is 00:00:51 No, we don't have questions. We're watching this when it just came out. Oh, yeah, duh. Think, Tara, think. How are you, Tara. What'd you think? I liked it. I like that we got on the cruise ship. I have always liked the chemistry with Luke and Percy. I like that it sort of picked up, right? There was some action here. I like the fighting with our Sydney, Sweeney, Gow. The choreography there. And now, like once you said, it could be.

Starting point is 00:01:30 Tyson and not actually Percy but then once Percy was like yeah I wish I hadn't known I'm like I think it is him maybe um anyhow I think it's getting way more intriguing

Starting point is 00:01:43 for me because I'm like okay well what is going to actually happen here how is it going to unfold this episode was actually exciting I liked it you're going to ask me how I'm I don't feel What about you?

Starting point is 00:02:01 Oh, I'll tell you, Tara. I thought you would just go. No, it's something I stop. You know, it likes me asked. Even if I don't want to express it. I just like being asked. Yeah, it was good. It was a episode that was less about action and moving plot forward.

Starting point is 00:02:29 I think more about decisions and the philosophical divides of battle is also a setup for more to come. Like you had Claire with the ship people, and you see that she's also trying to get father's approval. And you also have Luke, who has a disdain for his first. father and in some ways you can see that if he had his father's approval maybe he wouldn't be going down this path yeah there's a lot of there's a lot of like parental stuff of seeking approval that late that is like because our characters are really dealing with a lot of neglect and abandonment because their gods are always so holier and mightier than thou and they don't get to know their parents so then they make these like decisions along the way that could be detrimental for not just the gods but

Starting point is 00:03:29 human race as well. So I like that it was taking the time to slow down and not and flesh out. Is this fight going to be as black and white? It's not so it doesn't feel like Luke is just a bad guy. It seems like he has motives that kind of makes sense. I understand when he's saying like, they'll join my side. They'll follow me. They'll follow us. And you see this little cult camp that's kind of forming. And you're like, well, you know, in a lot of ways, you can kind of view the camp that we're with as a cult as well. All of this can feel like a machination of different types of cultures combining with thought processes. So I did enjoy that it was more about the gray of it. You know, and I think the emblematic side of it would come in the form of Tyson when he's like, you know, those guys actually weren't so bad.

Starting point is 00:04:19 They were good. Those jazz were so cool. Then why'd you attack and hurt them? Because you guys were in trouble and danger. You know, like, again, it's the idea that. that when you first see these giants, you assume they're just bad guys, but maybe they're not actually bad guys after all,

Starting point is 00:04:34 and no one's really bad here. They're just fighting for what they actually, they truly think is right, and maybe there's actual points that they're making. However, it shouldn't come at the consequence of all these people dying, you know? Right. And like this weight of responsibility placed on those

Starting point is 00:04:51 who didn't ask for it. And that's kind of what Percy is contending with at the very end there, too. and Claire as well with this weight of responsibility. It's like the kids are all pawns and used at the end of the day for a war that is not really theirs

Starting point is 00:05:07 but their parents. Yeah. That's true. And when they're down there, like, with the monsters, it sort of is like when you're, when Luke describes it, I was a little bit more on board with Luke

Starting point is 00:05:25 because he's like, well, Tyson, he's, you know, we've got all these. outcast here and now they've found a place where they're welcome nobody bugs them they do their training they do their stuff and i'm like oh yeah not so bad yeah we haven't really i don't feel like unless i'm missing something i don't really feel like i've seen luke do anything that's that bad he harmed the talia harmed the tree yeah because he's engaging in war so like that's a fucked up thing he did outside of that fellow rejects i've been going to

Starting point is 00:05:58 to therapy since I believe around 2012 and admittedly in the past couple of months I've haven't been as consistent as I like to be and with that I tend to fall into like old patterns of having a difficult time asking for help having a difficult time being honest with myself having a difficult time just opening up in general but going back recently it's helped me reconnect with my actual values in life and already I feel like the direction has been helping me get my mental health and personal life back on the track I wanted to be at. And that's why today I'm happy to talk about Rula. It's an online platform that helps you connect with licensed therapists that will specialize

Starting point is 00:06:36 in you. Rula makes it easy to find affordable, high-quality therapy that's actually covered by insurance. You just go to Rula.com slash rejects, answer a few questions, and they'll match you with a therapist who fits your needs and schedule. You can meet with them online. And Rula patients typically pay $15 per session when using insurance. They made therapy accessible in a way that alleviates a lot of the problems that I often hear from people when they're trying to get into therapy. There's no waiting list. There's no calling around. It's seamless. And of course, if you do decide to sign up, you'll more than likely be asked how you heard about them. It would mean a lot if you could also support us and let them know, we sent you by choosing our name and their drop-down menu.

Starting point is 00:07:17 And sincerely, you deserve mental health that works for you and not against your budget. So you can find the therapist that's right for you at ruler.com slash rejects. That's our, you. ula dot com slash rejects thank you again rule i take care of yourselves people you know like i know it's like this some dangerous stuff at the same time he does think he's i kind of get where he's coming from you know yeah i'm not on his side per se but i but i get it is what i'm getting at he was a lot worse

Starting point is 00:07:48 when he first turned bad because remember he tried to kill percy yeah and now i feel like he's developed this train of thought on how he wants to pursue what Kronos is telling him and now he has a wider lens as to what he's going to do and how to accomplish it

Starting point is 00:08:10 and I don't think Percy is that much of a threat to him anymore well it seemed like he really actually doesn't want Percy to die he doesn't want anything to really die like when they were escaping it seemed like the last thing he wanted was for them to actually be killed yeah so I like that it creates gray

Starting point is 00:08:25 there and even the gray of who to listen to and to make your own choices when you have Anabeth being poised with last episode of Don't Tell Percy this. And they're trying to figure out how to, if like, if it is information that should be learned or should not be learned and it should they listen to Chiron. So it's, it's cool that you're watching them at a pivotal point where they're having to make the adult choices for the adults. So yeah, no, I liked it. It was good. It wasn't like perhaps the most thrilling or the most cinematic of them, but it took the time to slow. down and ask some good questions

Starting point is 00:08:58 and set the stage for the bigger things that are to come, I think. Yeah. I feel like the next episode will probably have a good reward to what this was. Yeah, this one felt like it was definitely laying the foundation. I would be very excited to see Clarice, you know, on her cool-ass

Starting point is 00:09:14 boat. She gets all the dead people all hyped up just to see okay, what's going to happen here? I would like to see that action scene. I think that'd be a lot of fun. So I'm waiting on it. Yeah, and they didn't even seem like, he didn't, like, as Ari said, he didn't raise, you know, generals or something.

Starting point is 00:09:35 He didn't raise the top of the top. These are people who were probably just there. Right. And, you know, another, again, people to be used. And so, yeah, it's like a lot of underdogs. And watching Clarice learn how to motivate by going to the heart and not just bark orders, like a dictator. And learn how to actually lead was pretty cool, very different than from Ares who leads by fear she was leading by inspiration. which is opposite of her father, who is often leading by fear.

Starting point is 00:10:00 That's kind of what the gods tend to operate off of. So, yeah, I think when you, like, really examine it, there's a lot more going on than perhaps one might see. So, yeah, I enjoyed it. I mean, I still prefer the first two episodes, but this was still a good addition to the season. Yeah, I agree. And I'm excited to see how this pays off for four,

Starting point is 00:10:18 but I really love Tyson a lot. Like, anytime he's on screen, I think he's very, very, very enjoyable and underestimated. and he's got a he's got a sincerity but a toughness and he's smart he's really fucking smart so i'm personally like enjoying him the absolute most yep i'm with you on that especially when he was with the monsters he was like can i try a fireball he looked excited like he was in a place where he was like finally welcome because he has been even though annabeth and percy obviously welcome him he still feels like a little bit of an outsider like he kind of just

Starting point is 00:10:51 found out like that's his brother i mean they all just found out out via the, not Percy, but you get what I'm saying. Anyway, but when you see him with the monsters down below and he's messed with the fireball and you hear that, that monologue that looks like, yeah, he would be welcome here. I just, it gave me like an extra soft spot in my heart for him because it made him feel like more of an outcast because now we're putting him like with the monsters that that's the only place with Luke, which is like kind of the bad people. a little bit right now where Tyson would fit in. But at the same time, I'm glad that he

Starting point is 00:11:30 ended up back with, obviously, with Percy and Anne Bath. But yeah, I like Tyson a lot, too. He's great. All right, guys. Well, that's it for episode three of season two. We'll see you for four next week. Leave your thoughts down below. Would you actually join Luke?

Starting point is 00:11:48 Come on now. Be honest with yourself. Maybe. I hope Disney buys WB. Let's see you guys.
