I'm disappointed that neither of you referenced The Princess Bride in the Ch 28 conversation or retitling, this had the Vizzini/Westley battle of wits all over it. Could retitle it something like "Never Go Against A Portlandian When Death Is On The Line"
The fact that Schubes only knows Anthony Stewart Head from Ted Lasso and not as Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer is BONKERS to me
Grover would 100% be doing rock climbing
If Rick doesn't cast Mike to voice Blackjack in the show, I will riot.
Pepperoni+pineapple is the best topping combo, sweet and spicy and oh-so-good
Ironic that Schubes disliked the Chronicles of Narnia books, because the conversation about having the same end goal for the afterlife exactly mirrors the ending of The Last Battle.
Viva la ASMR Mike!!
I hate the guest's voice my god
I'm only 3 minutes into this episode and can't believe how grown and mature this dude is 🤣
he called pj by his actual name at the end of book two in the fountain iris message
wait wait wait, when Percy said ow and squeaked things bc it's implied he landed ✨️THERE✨️ wouldn't that place be invincible too?
This entire series is amazing! I've been listening since day 1 and always love hearing Mike's opinions/tangents on why we've been sleeping on this book series.
Stanley Tucci was in the second Perry Johnson movie, he played dionysus (who WASNT in the FIRST movie >:( ugh they do totally suck)
Jesus there's alot of unnecessary HP comparisons, like it's painful to see it bashed so much unnecessarily and unfairly One instance I can remember is this idea percy has it rough at the beginning and you explore how much he struggles as opposed to Harry who is wowed by everything, like bruh did you read any of the HP books. Bro was legit tortured by the Dursleys lmao And then in this episode where they criticise Harry for not reacting to the deluminator name change despite tf Harry only really knew about the device after its name change. I feel like yall do the opposite of nitpicking here with PJ in that you praise random small details, which is early exacerbated by the fact that the author seems and is more progressive than the other one.
WE NEED HOMESCHOOLERS IN BOOK SERIES THAT ARENT STUPID AND COMPLETELY IGNORANT, MAKE IT HAPPEN UNCLE RICK
As someone with an umlaut in their first name, I approve of the imaginary umlauts in Gunnar's name 🤣
as someone who just recently bought a house, I'm feeling super attacked by this episode 🤣
Love the Pittsburgh shout out!!
I'm reading along as the episodes come out and it's KILLING me not to read ahead! I'm enjoying the book so far as a first time reader and really loving the podcast.
I am looking forward to following along as the host moves through the Percy Jackson series.
