206 | Percy Jackson and the Olympians S2E4 w/ Gillian Blum

As the kids say, this one was a movie! It at least felt like it, and reporter extraordinaire, Gillian Blum, is here to break it down with me while I mainly focus on the peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Topics include: New York Comic Con, note-taking, Lance Reddick’s legacy, Babybeth, party favors, Thaluke, Clarisse’s arc, adaptations, Mythomagic, Yankees sweater, out of body knowledge, Rainbow, the credits, Percabeth, making tough choices, peanut butter and jelly, and more!
