133: Nyx Brings Back Galaxy Pants (THE SUN AND THE STAR Ch 17-24)

Nico and Will finally make it to Tartarus! Erin uses the word penchant. It triggers Manasa. We spend a while insulting Nyx and her methods. Gorgyra gives Will and Nico couples therapy. They still need more couples therapy tbh. Nico and Will make the fall via the river of pain, and land amongst bones and acid rain. Will tries to help while Nico takes a nap, but instead gets taken captive by evil birds. Also! If you want to read Erin’s book!

It’s time to learn all about Nico’s experience in Tartarus, the first time. We miss the dumb giants from Gaea’s army. Nyx has a lot of babies, including hordes of children, which is fun. Manasa accuses Erin of being a Nico. The timeline in this book is confusing, ngl. We spend a long time discussing it. We meet a gay farmer demon (slay). Then Will meets Persephone, who is incredibly hot. ————————————————————— SUPPORT US ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true SUPPORT US ON KO-FI: https://ko-fi.com/camphalfpod SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod JOIN OUR DISCORD: https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr MERCH: https://www.zazzle.com/store/camphalfpod --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/camp-half-pod/support

We’re baaaaaack! By popular demand, we are reading The Sun and The Star. We catch up on our break from podcasting, and then dive into discussing our favorite emo boy and his sunshine boyfriend.

It’s the final episode of the Disney+ Percy Jackson adaptation, “The Prophecy Comes True.” Cue the tears! The iconic battle between Ares and Percy comes to life on the screen (that giant wave? SO cool). Percy goes to Olympus, and we get to meet Zeus and Poseidon. Percy returns to camp, only to be betrayed by the real lightning thief. We spend a long time talking about portal swords. Percy reunites with Sally, and Gabe gets what he deserves.

This week, we’re going down below to the Underworld in episode 7 of the Disney + PJO adaptation, “We Find Out The Truth, Sort Of.” Percy and gang heads down to the Underworld, and we nerd out about the design choices (upside down castle?? How COOL is that???). Erin teaches Manasa the word “stalactite.” We spend a long time talking about the implications of this version of asphodel. And also…. What the heck is Annabeth’s regret? Hades is introduced, and he’s honestly kind of a dork. Percy makes the ultimate choice to be a hero, and leaves behind his mother. Speaking of Sally, we spend about half this episode gushing over her and the flashback scenes. Then Manasa ends us off with a really lighthearted fun Lightning bolt question about regret!

VEGAS, BABY!!! This week is all about episode 6 of the Disney+ adaptation, “We Take A Zebra To Vegas.” Erin vows to make as many Hamilton references as she can in honor of Lin Manuel Miranda. The trio makes it to the Lotus Casino and Grover loses the plot pretty quickly. We meet Hermes for the first time, and get some fun insights on parenting from him. Our new favorite scene is the parking garage scene. It lives in our minds rent free. We gush over how adorable the trio is and how fantastic their bond is. They make it to Santa Monica, only to be let down by Poseidon. Erin decides that Manasa needs to stop letting her speak. Includes behind-the-scenes interview audio clips from Dan Henna (Production Design) and Tish Monaghan (Costume Design).

It’s tiiiiiiime! We’re talking all about episode 5 of the Disney+ adaptation, “A God Buys Us Cheeseburgers.” We recorded this at 10pm so start off by apologizing for probably getting things wrong. We meet two gods in this episode — Ares and Hephaestus. It’s packed full of Percabeth moments, with the Tunnel of Love and a brand new scene involving a golden throne. We discuss the changes and theorize about why some of them were made. Includes behind-the-scenes interview audio clips from Eric Henry and Jeff White (VFX Supervisors)!

This week we are joined by The Newest Olympian’s very own, Mike Schubert, to discuss episode 4 of the Disney+ adaptation, “I Plunge To My Death.” We dive DEEP into discussion about monstrosity, and how this show is honing in on the theme of who is/isn’t a monster. Kronos is theatrical, as always. Echidna is a Karen chihuahua mom. We talk about all the changes made to the St Louis arch scene, and how they almost had us with Percy’s little sword switcheroo.
