203: This Is Just Like In Halloweentown High (COURT OF THE DEAD Ch 11-15 + Empousa Deep Dive)

The campers all band together to come up with a plan to capture whoever is taking the mythics. Erin and Manasa get distracted talking about Barbie Fairtyopia. Erin’s dogs are playing so much during this episode that we didn’t bother to edit them out. They are a part of this. We deep dive on Laverna for a moment. Hazel, Nico, and Will head to downtown San Francisco to go to court. It's time for Riordanverse SVU (dun-dun). Then, Erin tells Manasa all about the myths the Karpos are based on, one of which is quite sad! Potatoes are the fruit of the earth. <3 Podcast Links: SUPPORT US ON PATREON: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT US ON KO-FI: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠JOIN OUR DISCORD: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MERCH: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.zazzle.com/store/camphalfpod

Erin and Manasa begin their Percy Jackson podcasting by debriefing the Big Animorphs News, naturally (perchance… a new podcast idea??? Stay tuned). Will there now be explicit Animorphs references in the Disney+ PJO adaptation? Crossover musical episode? Just kidding (unless…). Erin points out that the plot of this book is just like Halloweentown 3, Halloweentown High. The mythics have a hard time fitting in with the demigods. We find some more plot holes. They learn about some mysterious threats plaguing the mythics and Nico. And then… the mythics start to disappear. First Arielle, then Quinoa. Then, Manasa gives us a deep dive on the Empousa, our favorite hot weird-legged woman. PS - there were some funny bloopers edited out this episode. It was a bit of an editing beast to fix.

Erin starts off with pretending like she never was weird about the Minotaur. She’s gaslighting herself. We wonder if this is the same story as The Sun and the Star but with lower stakes. The mythics struggle to fit in at Camp Jupiter. Mr. D provides some telehealth therapy. Then, we are joined via audio messages by a listener Chloe, who gives us a super thorough deep dive on the Minotaur’s name. Erin provides our Minotaur Deep Dive (naturally) and spends a lot of time discussing the labyrinth and the minotaur in pop culture.

We're back!!!! Finally, we tackle Court of the Dead, the sequel to The Sun and the Star. We have a lot of questions. First of all, who gave Mr. D a license to practice therapy??? Also, why is he suddenly nice? The premise of this book is juicy and hilarious, and we get to meet this new version of the Minotaur, or should we say, Asterion. Erin doesn't find him as hot now that he's a good guy. We don't need to talk about what that says about her. Manasa gives us a lesson on Cacodemons, which are, naturally, much weirder in Greek mythology than Rick leads on.

SEASON 2 FINALE!!!!! (screaming, crying, throwing up). This week, we're discussing Disney+'s Percy Jackson and the Olympians Episode 8 of Season 2, "The Fleece Works Its Magic Too Well." We discuss the art of adaptation and adjusting themes to be relevant to current times. What do we do when our leaders aren't standing up for us? We protect our own, that's what. There are lots of changes in this one, and we're on board with them. Manasa's question about the fleece is answered. We both sing Sally Jackson's praises. Erin compares Luke to Zeus. We love how this ended, and can't believe we have to wait for season 3 now!Be sure to follow us on socials to see reels and memes to go along with the episodes! @camphalfpodLinks:SUPPORT US ON PATREON: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/camphalfpod?fan_landing=true⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT US ON KO-FI: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SEND US AN AUDIO MESSAGE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.speakpipe.com/Camphalfpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠JOIN OUR DISCORD: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discord.gg/gzHYsUbdgr⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MERCH: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.zazzle.com/store/camphalfpod

It's time to invade a cruise ship, everyone. This week, we're discussing Disney+'s Percy Jackson and the Olympians Episode 7 of Season 2, "I Go Down With The Ship." Let it be known we're not entirely sure what ship is being referred to here. This episode deviates from the book the most, and we go deep into our thoughts on each change. Some? We like. Some? We're holding our breath. Manasa asks questions nobody else has about the fleece and skincare. We both crash out about Luke and continue convincing ourselves that we hate him. Clarisse gets the Annabeth. Percy gets the fleece. Two sides, and whatnot.

The gang is all here on Polyphemus's island (and it's not a tropical, relaxing island vacation). This week, we're discussing Disney+'s Percy Jackson and the Olympians Episode 6 of Season 2, "Nobody Gets The Fleece." Percy's fatal flaw is out and about this episode, and we aren't complaining. We say the word "interesting" like 37 times and work on our pronunciation of Thalia. Percy and Annabeth's plan to save Grover and Clarisse doesn't go super well. Tyson reappears and steals all our hearts.

This episode may be our new holy grail of Percabeth moments. We too would burn it all down for Annabeth!!! We talk about all the deviations they made from the books, and why they may have done that. What does it mean to be human? What does it mean to be hero? This episode gets into so many of the themes we've been tracking. Sally Jackson is constantly haunting (positive) the narrative. We give Vanilla the guinea pig their flowers (#GiveVanillaAnEmmy). Also, Polyphemus is smart now? Didn't see that one coming.
