Welcome to Camp Half-Blood

If Rick Riordan has no fans, then Mia & Karly are dead. In today’s episode, your fav podcast hosts are diving into the latest adaptation of the Percy Jackson & The Olympians series on Disney+. (Please note: Karly uses Mia’s Disney+ account and their profile pics are a shark and Dory from Finding Nemo, respectively.)

 

Middle school Mia & Karly would be hard fangirling knowing that they would eventually get the adaptation of Percy Jackson that they DESERVE - although they’re still disappointed the show didn’t pay homage to the mediocre Logan Lerman movie adaptation and the infamous Lotus Casino/Poker Face scene. They discuss their deep seated history with Riordan’s book series and give their professional opinions on the show as OG Percy Jackson and Percabeth fanfiction readers. Seeing as it’s been a decade since they last held a copy of a Percy Jackson book, the girls are due for a re-read and will surely be delivering a deep dive episode in the future. 

 

They’ll also discuss how the 2010s fandom culture era was quite literally the best time to grow up in and why it shaped them into the women (and readers) they are today. Fandoms walked so roman empires could run. Between One Directioners, Beliebers, and the Edward vs. Jacob craze, it’s a wonder the girls got any school work done when they were reading POV fanfiction about dating Harry Styles. Happy reading besties!
