It's the first ever episode of The Newest Seaweed Donut/The Olympian Monster Brain! After our visit to set for the filming of Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 2, the PJO Pod Squad was tasked by writer Daphne Olive to make predictions based on a sizzle reel shown to us right before our van ride home.
