All discussions are PG-13. News and Updates (00:07:24) Independent Bookstore Day is on April 26–go support your local shop if you can!!Did you catch Rick Riordan unboxing his Emmys?The Dad vibes are strong with this video! Jay Duplass will not return as Hades in Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2–but all is not lost.We love how much his kids love Percy Jackson, which means the likelihood of him coming back for Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 3 is pretty high.We can’t remember if we discussed the Gray Sisters casting from D23 2024, but we’re doing it now!Where do we know Sandra Bernhard, Kristen Schaal, and Margaret Cho from? The Red Pyramid discussion (00:19:45) Let’s start with The Red Pyramid chapter 23.Sadie is human again! We find out how she did it.Nobody woke Carter for lunch, but that’s the least of his worries right now.Bast thinks Set might not be the one at the top of the food chain here, and that’s definitely cause for concern.It’s time to head to Memphis–and this time they’re not “borrowing” a car, though Bast still requires a convertible.There’s a lot of atmospheric description to this book, and we’re all for it.Baboons playing basketball is probably a good indication that a god is nearby.Carter is NOT great at basketball, but we find out why it’s so important to him.We love how hard Sadie is working to be kind to him about this.Finally, we get to meet Toth, the god of wisdom, as well as all of his ibis receptionists.Is it weird that the Greeks likened him to Hermes?Ah, yes, the importance of astrology and leechcraft.The way Thoth’s powers are portrayed was super interesting and makes you wonder how powerful he is.We get some important backstory about the relationship between Horus, Isis, Set, and Thoth.Thoth seems to be a bit of a contradiction–highly intelligent and yet not very observant.Knowing a creature’s actual name has such power, and we love this concept.How can Sadie hold a goddess at bay if she was also having trouble with her sense of self enough to struggle coming out of her kite form?Did we all feel on a spiritual level how much Thoth didn’t want to read his old work, or was that just us?Was this chapter too long and too full of information to really comprehend everything?Time for our favorite lines and favorite moments!Now it’s time to head to Graceland in The Red Pyramid chapter 24.Was Elvis a magician? All signs point to yes.Seriously, though, music really is magical.It must be so weird to be at Graceland with no tourists.STOP DESTROYING NATIONAL MONUMENTS.Karen really wants to know what type of lizard Carter was turned into.Sadie is SO resourceful, and we loved seeing how she defeated the magicians.This time, we DO know what kind of reptile is on the page–and it’s a big one!How did Sadie turn Carter back into a person?Was this just a test from Thoth?At least they fixed up Graceland before they left.Could the cat of Ra actually be Bast??How does she feel about battling Apophis again?Favorite lines and favorite scenes! Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 135, where we’ll discuss The Red Pyramid chapters 25 and 26, as well as get you up to date on whatever Percy Jackson news might be out there.
