In der neuen Ausgabe von Der Terranische Kongress, sprechen Dominik, Markus und Chris über die aktuellen Ausgaben der unterschiedlichen Perry Rhodan Serien. Mit dabei ist dieses Mal unser Steady-Supporter Dominik (Der im Folgenden als Domsen angesprochen wird, um Verwirrung zu vermeiden). Neben den aktuellen Beiträgen in der Neo-Serie und der Originalserie, sprechen wir auch über den aktuellen Silberband. Das Intro hat uns in dieser Ausgabe Marlene von Hagen spendiert, dafür danken wir wie immer sehr! Diese Romane werden in dieser Folge zum Thema: - Perry Rhodan Nr. 3357 - Sterben will ich - Wim Vandemaan - Perry Rhodan Nr. 3358 - Im kosmischen Bermuda-Dreieck - Kai Hirdt - Perry Rhodan Nr. 3359 - Wenn Topsid fällt - Kai Hirdt - Perry Rhodan Nr. 3360 - Das Sternengrab - Christian Montillon - Perry Rhodan Neo Nr. 372 - Jenseits der Stimmen - Rüdiger Schäfer - Perry Rhodan Neo Nr. 373 - Mission Kristallberg - Marlene von Hagen - Perry Rhodan Silberband Nr. 172 - Kurier nach Tarkan In der Kategorie Currently Reading spricht Chris dieses mal über 20.000 Meilen unter dem Meer von Jules Verne und dem Perry Rhodan Zyklus BARDIOC. Da es in diesem Podcast nicht ganz sauber herauskommt, ging es Chris um das Buch Tochter der Tiefe von Rick Riordan. Dominik hat dieses Mal zwei Kurzgeschichten mitgebracht, die gemischte Gefühle hinterließen. Es geht dabei um Die Venusfalle von Kurt Mahr aus dem 6. Jubiläumsband und einer Kurzgeschichte aus dem 300. Planetenroman. Markus musste in den vergangenen Wochen krankheitsbedingt kürzer treten, daher haben wir in diesem Monat keinen Beitrag seinerseits. Unser Gast Domsen erzählt von seiner Lesereise durch den Zyklus Die Tolkander im Großzyklus Thoregon. In den Perry Rhodan News sprechen wir über die folgenden Themen. Aufgrund gestiegener Produktionskosten, mussten die Preise für veröffentlichte Romane erhöht werden, dies hinterlässt natürlich auch bei uns einen negativen Eindruck. Im offiziellen Perry Rhodan Merchandise Shop, sind neue Motive auf unterschiedlichen Produkten verfügbar. Wir denken außerdem laut über unseren Besuch der Perry Rhodan Tage in Braunschweig in diesem Jahr nach. An unterschiedlichen Stellen sprechen wir auch in eigener Sache. So wird die Podcastplanung für das Jahr 2026 und unseren Auftritt auf sozialen Medien. Wenn ihr dazu Fragen habt, erreicht ihr uns gern auf den bekannten Kanälen.

Prophecy Radio episode #152 offers wooly thoughts alongside a discussion of Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 6, “Nobody Gets the Fleece.” There's also some news to discuss, as well as a recap of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast, which features guests Aleks Pauvnoic, Albert Kim, and the incomparable Andrew McIlroy. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13.News and Updates (00:05:44) Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 has debuted with strong numbers according to The Wrap. We can't help but mention Pluribus, as it seems everyone is watching it at the moment. Did you know there's an official Percy Jackson and the Olympians shop now? You can also get some great merch at Hot Topic! Did you catch the beautiful birthday message to Walker from his dad? There's no Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 4 renewal news, but they ARE working on it at the moment. We channel a little Positive Patty and/or Optimistic Olivia energy and talk about the chances of getting seasons 4 and 5. Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 6 discussion (00:14:52) Let's kick off the episode 6 discussion with Tyson in the water. Daniel Diemer does such a good job of getting Tyson's thoughts and feelings across while underwater. RAINBOW TO THE RESCUE. Percy has a pretty awful dream about Camp. It looks like Kronos is dropping by, but when the hood is pulled back it's someone else. Why do you think they showed Thalia in this scene? How does Percy know what she looks like? Percy wants to get a head start on their plan, but Annabeth remains calm and tells him that's not a good idea. Back on the island, Polyphemus regales Clarisse and Grover with tales of his solitary life. Shoutout to Nobody. They made Polyphemus SO MUCH SCARIER than he was in the books. We keep hearing Pan's name. Percy keeps watch while Annabeth grabs some pelts. Luke interrupts with some rainbow wiggles. Annabeth admits Luke might be right about Thalia's feelings about Zeus, but he was also wrong to think she'd be on Kronos' side. This part wasn't in the book, but it's such a great addition. Percy has a dramatic entrance. Was he worried that Annabeth might be betraying him? Was the call about recon or about checking in on Annabeth? “Think wooly thoughts.” Those sheep sounds were pretty legit. Plot twist! Polyphemus set a trap for the demigods. We get a classic Clarisse and Percy moment. Annabeth uses that big brain of hers to distract Polyphemus. Luke uses a portal to travel to the island, and Karen has some questions about the science of the magic. Shoutout to the makeup department because Annabeth's wounds looked BRUTAL. All seems lost…until Tyson returns! Did Percy understand what they said in Ancient Greek? How did Tyson get one up on Polyphemus? Luke arrives at the worst or possibly even the best time. Percy really did try to come up with a different solution than just handing over the fleece. Were we surprised Luke healed Annabeth? How do we feel about the changes from the book here? Tyson saves the day AGAIN, and Percy is so glad he's alive. And like the wish-granting fairy that he is, Tyson has a solution to their problem of no transportation. Percy gets yet another epic line to end the episode. Next time: Young Annabeth, a recovering sarcophagus, Clarisse liking her odds, and BLACKJACK!! Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast highlights (01:25:15) Aryan and Aleks are in divorce arbitration, and Andrew makes his big debut on the podcast. But first we need to talk about what is was like to play Polyphemus. This is not the first time Aleks has been a cyclops in a Percy Jackson production. Did you realize they did mostly practical effects for Polyphemus? What character inspired the “simple” version of Polyphemus? Did you know what forced perspective was? Which did you like better, the proposal or the prom pictures? The second guest on the podcast was Albert Kim, one of the series' writers. They wanted to surprise even the most diehard fans of the books. We talk about Percy's fatal flaw, and his reaction to giving up the fleece. It's no surprise the sheep were afraid of Polyphemus. Aryan finally gets his ring! Andrew McIlroy returns to talk about his experience on the show so far. It was interesting hearing how they “found” Tyson and Teen!Luke. Kronos is totally a cult leader. We get some insight into how the kids prepare for each scene, including an example of the exercise with the ball that they do to get into character. Why doesn't Andrew go to any of the functions? Where did his commitment to the craft come from? Everyone has such respect for Glynn Turman. Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode #153, where we'll recap Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 7, as well as the next episode of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast.This episode's hosts are: Karen and KristenEach episode, Prophecy Radio‘s hosts will discuss any official news coming out of Camp Half-Blood before doing a chapter by chapter reread of Percy Jackson or one of Rick Riordan's other series.Follow Us: Instagram // Facebook // TumblrListen and Subscribe: Audioboom // Apple // SpotifyFeel free to leave us your questions or comments through any of these mediums!

New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13.No news this weekPercy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 5 discussion (00:12:30) Right away we know Percy and Annabeth are alive. That's a relief. And how convenient they find themselves in the only sanctuary in the Sea of Monsters! Hylla sighting! Is this our first Heroes of Olympus easter egg? C.C. wants to help them identify their fatal flaws so they can survive the sirens. How noble. Stavros, our little jet skiing anachronism, does not fair too well. We may not have seen Stavros' demise, but hearing it was pretty gnarly. Clarisse wakes up on the beach. Lucky lady can see the golden fleece, though, so... quest still on! But then she gets caught in Polyphemus' trap. Quest paused. I really hope they find ways to weave the consensus song into every season. It makes Kristen smile. She tells Grover that Percy and Annabeth are dead, but thanks to that empathy link, Grover is sure she's wrong. All he had was hope, but now he has Clarisse and some rope! Back to C.C.'s: Percy and Annabeth look ADORABLE. They don't agree. C.C. wants to help them find their fatal flaws with her very own Mirror of Swalflataf (if you know, you know)/li> Annabeth takes the opportunity to try and learn something about C.C. We have a super swoon moment when Percy goes full book boyfriend. Even if we are trying to temper our little shipper hearts because they are not supposed to be at the crush stage yet. Percy believes he is a danger to the quest, so he decides to stay at C.C's. Back to the island: Clarisse is trying to shimmy up a rope to escape the cave, but the sensitive, sassy Cuban Oak can only take so much. Polyphemus returns, but this time Grover forgets to lower his veil... not good. Back on C.C.'s island: Percy has a very enlightening chat with Zadie. Percy confronts C.C. to transformative results. Is that a pen cup full of souvenirs, or did C.C. just think Percy's pen would be happy there? Percy doesn't let a little thing like being a guinea pig keep him from trying to formulate a plan. Describing Ares as merciful is a dead giveaway. Whatever you say, fakeGrover. This Polyphemus is waaaaaay scarier than the book. We appreciate the consistency with representing all cyclopses the same. Annabeth has a plan. But she also knows how to freestyle like the best of them. Multivitamins to the rescue! Percy and Annabeth set sail, but only one gets the wax. The other gets roped. Aaaand just kidding. C.C. takes back her wax. Annabeth's vision is detailed, but she has a plan. ATHENA SIGHTING! It's a double cross! It was the sirens the whole time! Percy saves the day. Next time: Tyson sighting, Kronos in season 1 form, and its time to battle Polyphemus. Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast highlights (01:34:34) A bit of a surprise: This week's guest is Glynn Turman, aka, Chiron! The Andrew counter lives. Glynn is Chiron: Both run camps, both help campers learn new skills, both have lost campers. Chiron's horse half is the same horse that plays Blackjack and has shown up in the background, too. There is a Grover horn arc already plotted for five seasons. This detail has us absolutely fangirling. They're going to curl by season 5! Next guests: Zoe Neary (Producer) and Jules O'Loughlin (Director of Photography) The sirens were played by stuntwomen using windsurfing rigs. **chef's kiss** Realism at work: They gave costume department samples of the rock to match, they used real seaweed from the marina, and there was a crab wrangler on set! One guinea pig is given the high ground. And different foods give them different eyelines. So much to learn about guinea pig acting. Rosemarie Dewitt killed it as C.C. Dior and Charlie shadowed producers to learn more about that part of the filmmaking process. Getting away from the Volume stage this year. Practical sets help them to lean into the weather and natural enviroments around them. The sound department is not a fan of fidget spinners. Oops. Listener Feedback (01:54:38)We have an email!

Prophecy Radio episode #150 delves into Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 4, “Clarisse Blows Up Everything.” They also discuss the latest casting news for Atlas, Dr. Thorn, and Frederick Chase, as well as all the behind-the-scenes goodies from the Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13. News (00:15:32) Deadline has shared casting news for three new Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 3 actors. First up is Holt McCallany, who you may know from Mindhunter, as Atlas. David Constabile, who we're a little less familiar with, will be playing Dr. Thorn, and he certainly looks the part. Lastly, the legendary Jesse L. Martin will be playing Annabeth's Dad, Frederick Chase. We also have runtimes for Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episodes 5, 6, and 7. We're so excited for next week! Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 4 discussion (00:24:31) Points to us for knowing Annabeth was in a sewer, even though we had no idea why. We really see the relationship between Luke and Young Annabeth in the first flashback scene. Did you expect Young Annabeth to call Luke out for telling her Keloggia was the goddess of stealth? Did you like the Monster Donut and hydra details?? Young Annabeth is SO CUTE. Percy knows just what to say to Tyson. He also knows how to break the tension. Boys are gross. Clarisse makes a VERY dramatic entrance. How did she know Annabeth wasn't inside?? Annabeth and Clarisse go toe-to-toe in a battle of wits. Then Percy and Clarisse go toe-to-toe in a battle of strength. Did Percy think he could beat Clarisse, or was he just giving Annabeth time to make her move? Why is Clarisse so hellbent on not having any other demigods with her? Time to make some big choices! Will it be Scylla or…that other one? Clarisse really doesn't like the idea of sacrificing her men. There's that bleeding heart again. Grover is an excellent Protector. Demigods are just bad at listening. Neither Luke nor Thalia wants to go to Camp. Luke looks SO emo in this scene, and we're eating it up. What were your original theories as to why Annabeth's bracelet kept returning to the boat? We get a glimpse of Rainbow!! Percy realizes he's got some new abilities. Will Tyson grow into more of his Poseidon skills? Small choices make the biggest difference sometimes. Percy has some great advice in this scene, but is it a little too clean and perfect? Clarisse's men are willing to follow her anywhere, and you can tell that sits heavy on her shoulders. Was Percy channeling Sally Jackson in this scene with the sandwich? We get the full prophecy, and even though it's straight from the book, we're glad to hear it from start to finish. It's time to follow through on those big choices! “Heroes slay monsters, they don't run from them.” Sometimes it's hard to remember, especially in the beginning, that Clarisse is a hero, too. We loved watching Annabeth and Percy figure out how to correct course after Clarisse changes their heading. Percy on the front of the ship, steady as a rock, was SO BADASS. Clarisse saves Annabeth. How very friendly of her! Ironside blows up in the most dramatic way possible. Can you believe the episode ended here?? Next time: Sea Doos, sirens, guinea pigs, oh my! Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast highlights (01:20:26) We get another opening bit for the podcast. Aryan tells us about that time he fought a brick. Charlie and Tamara join the podcast to talk about the flashback. This was Charlie and Aryan's first real scene together. It's a good thing Aryan didn't do that stunt. Young Annabeth is actually Leah's cousin! Wait till you hear how Charlie “found” Young Luke. We finally get an Andrew shoutout counter. Did you know Luke wasn't in the original Percy Jackson story? How does the whole Thalia-as-a-tree thing work? Tamara knew Lance Reddick, so joining this show as his daughter was kismet. Erik Henry and Eli Zagoudakis join to talk about how visual effects and stunt work go hand-in-hand. They decided to go in a different direction when revealing Aegis. They tilted Ironside overnight! When designing Tyson's look, they wanted to change as little of Daniel's face as possible. The actors are all so willing to do their own stunts.

On Prophecy Radio episode #149, Karen and Kristen discuss Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 3, "We Board the Princess Andromeda." They still don't have much news to discuss, but there was more than enough to talk about between the episode and recapping all the most interesting behind-the-scenes facts from the Official Percy Jackson Podcast. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13. Quick news segment Rick posted two photo dumps on Insta with some behind the scenes bits and memories from when they were shooting and prepping for Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 3. Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 3 discussion (00:07:28) Clarisse goes full warrior when confronted with the creepiness of the Oracle. We dig deep about why we think they chose Clarisse to read the prophecy to Clarisse. Clarisse doesn't share the whole prophecy with us... interesting. Let's check out this cruise ship... Why doesn't Tyson have similar powers to Percy (versions of Poseidon's abilities)? Percy chooses trust over anger and we are both impressed with his maturity. The return of "boon"! Clarisse and Ares get some screen time together for the first time. Clarisse's quest isn't really a quest since she's alone. Adam Copeland is really the very best Ares we could have hoped for. We hope we see this godly greeting thing between demigods again. Allison Simms falls overboard, but it's not goodbye. Mitch from Blockbuster might be the best new addition to this series. Was Annabeth invoking "boon" because of the Great Prophecy or was it just to keep Percy from killing Luke so soon? Kronos smells worse than monsters to Tyson. The children of the gods deserve freedom (demigods, monsters, et al) but what about humans? We learn so much from this convo with Luke, Annabeth, and Percy. Tyson saves the day by building a bomb?! Clarisse gets a Braveheart speech, and its the perfect motivation for her crew. Annabeth goes rogue and gives Percy the bare bones of the Great Prophecy. "What do you think?" We think there are SO many layers to that question. Scenes from next week: Annabeth looks in a sewer, Clarisse and Percy fight on the beach, Thalia makes an appearance (must be a flashback), we get our first look at the Sea of Monsters. Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast highlights (01:25:54) Dior Goodjohn is the major guest in this episode. Even the official podcast has a fatal flaw. Aryan got to train with the camera department during this episode. How cool that the kids get to learn both the art and technical side of filmmaking. Dior talks about Clarisse's backstory, and especially her mom. Bad parental relationship representation is as important as a good one. Motley crew of loser soldiers for the win. The creation of Blockbuster Mitch is a perfect Rick-Riordan-esque addition. That sea shanty came together on set after shifting it away from being too dirgy. Will every episode 3 start with the Oracle in the attic? Allison Simms will give us more and more understanding of Luke and what's going on in his head. Craig Silverstein explains how they go about deciding what to keep and what to cut from the books. Adam Copeland calls in from England and talks about Ares motivations as a father and how he relates to this storyline with Clarisse as a father in the real world. Adam is definitely an actor in our book. Listener Feedback (01:46:12) Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 150 (!!), where we'll recap Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 4, as well as the next episode of the Official Percy Jackson Podcast.

New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13. Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 2 discussion (00:02:59) This is the long-awaited chariot race episode! The Stymphalian birds are super creepy looking. Percy's superpower is water and also breaking the rules. Annabeth is so smart and sneaky! Chiron's musical choices are perfect and we wouldn't change a thing. Clarisse's idea of flirting is…aggressive. How do we feel about the new Chris Rodriguez? Should Annabeth and Percy have kept the coordinates to themselves? Chiron warns Annabeth of the Great Prophecy. How do we feel about the line, “He can't know there's something he can't know”? Boon. Tyson is so sweet to write home to Sally. We love how they're portraying Tyson as an innocent but intelligent person. The mimicry is…unnerving. We love Timothy Simons and Jason Mantzoukas playing opposite each other. Will we see Bondi again down the line? We love everything about the chariot race. Tantalus screaming bloody murder almost took us out. Mariah Carey was the perfect song choice, and Percy holding the stereo was classic. Do you know what's on Mr. D's shirt? Did Tantalus share the wrong coordinates on purpose or is he just an idiot? Was it just us or did Clarisse not seem too excited about her quest? It didn't take much convincing for Clarisse to pick Annabeth. But, oh, the betrayal!! WE FINALLY GET THE WEDDING DRESS. The interplay between these two characters is so natural. Percy is not asking for permission. Is anyone surprised? Quest approved! We're really coming around to Lin as Hermes. He cares about his son so much, even if he's been an absent father this whole time. Percy reasoned out why Annabeth would betray him, and they have a really deep conversation. Did Percy really leave the Camp border? Is the fact that they can never return in the books?? We talk about who Danny Virtue is. Next time on Percy Jackson and the Olympians… Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast highlights (01:07:20) There was SO MUCH awesome behind-the-scenes information in this episode. Of course, one of the first things they talk about is the dress. Tim's kids are big fans of the series. The dynamic between Tantalus and Mr. D is super interesting. It must be so fun being an adult on a show like this where you just get to be silly. Did you know the whole story behind Mrs. Dodds? Tantalus looks so different from everyone else because he's from the Underworld. They spend a lot of time talking about the chariot race scene, and it is AWESOME. How cool is it that the kids got to work with Danny Virtue? Aryan had to teach someone else how to goat walk this season. We learn more about how Lin came to be Hermes. If given another chance, Tantalus would totally monologue again. Tyson is now Percy's most loyal friend… Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 149, where we'll recap Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 3, as well as the next episode of the Official Percy Jackson Podcast.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2, episode 1 breakdown (00:21:48) Grover asks for a sign and gets... thunder? Zeus? You got something to say? Grover meets Allison Simms on his hunt for Pan. We love cool details like the tentacle/bedsheet connection. Book to show changes: How do we feel about Tyson and Percy living with Sally instead of being at boarding school? Is the eyeball weird for you guys? Kristen thinks its just her brain. Annabeth will pick you up in a freaky taxi if she has a bad dream. Tyson's one eye and the Gray Sisters one eye are not the same thing. Percy and Annabeth have both kept some things out of their letters. Thank goodness Tyson is fireproof! No Colchis bull makes Karen a little disappointed. Luke is up to no good, and this time it involves stabbing a friend. What the heck, Luke?! Meet Tantalus, whom we did not worry about picturing when we read the book. We get some classic Disney innuendo and Karen can't believe they got away with it. Percy chooses Tyson, and we don't think he's in the wrong. Tyson is going to make us cry this season. We just know it. Annabeth settles in to talk to her girl bestie... who just so happens to be a tree. Don't judge. Empathy link dream, baby! Percy and Grover are so freaking cute in this scene. Coordinates. Percy goes to Annabeth this time, because he's got an idea on how to save Thalia's tree and camp. New season, new post credits artwork, and there are hints at all the big tentpole monsters and moments that we can think of. We are both very interested in some art prints of the credit artwork. Percy Jackson and the Olympians Official Podcast highlights (01:35:29) Should the official podcast be called Grover Underwood and the Olympians instead? Walker and Leah are Aryan's first guests. We get a look at the original trio's chemistry read and they are SO YOUNG! Walker is being very careful about the Percabeth timeline. He knows they have a long way to go in their friendship before either of them will be ready to play their bond like anything more. Welcome Daniel Diemer, aka Tyson! Lots of stories about their acting coach, Andrew, especially when he told Daniel his run looked a little too goofy. Oops. Too bad he wasn't going for anything but just, running. Tyson's Taxi Time Talk Show is the podcast's inspiration Jason Mantzoukas crashes the pod and he is CHAOS (copied and pasted directly from Karen's notes).

Min 5: CIUDAD DE SOMBRAS. NETFLIX (4 estrellas) Ciudad de Sombras es el intenso thriller policíaco español que marca el último trabajo de Verónica Echegui, estrenado en Netflix el 12 de diciembre de 2025 tras su fallecimiento en agosto pasado. Dirigida por Jorge Torregrossa (conocido por El cuerpo en llamas y Fariña), la miniserie de seis episodios adapta la novela El verdugo de Gaudí de Aro Sáinz de la Maza y sitúa su oscuramente absorbente trama en una Barcelona donde los emblemáticos edificios de Gaudí se convierten en telón de fondo de crímenes inquietantes. Echegui encarna a la subinspectora Rebeca Garrido con una presencia que, en su último papel, combina meticulosidad y humanidad, mientras que Isak Férriz da vida al inspector Milo Malart, un policía suspendido que regresa al servicio para investigar un asesinato macabro en la fachada de La Pedrera. Min 16: EL HOMBRE CONTRA EL BEBÉ. NETFLIX (3,5 estrellas) El hombre contra el bebé es una comedia de Netflix protagonizada por Rowan Atkinson, creada por Will Davies y dirigida por David Kerr, que apuesta por el slapstick clásico y el gag encadenado. Atkinson interpreta a Trevor, un hombre torpe y bienintencionado que consigue trabajo como vigilante en una mansión de lujo y termina librando un pulso desternillante con un bebé. Min 22: PERCY JACKSON Y LOS DIOSES DEL OLIMPO 2. DISNEY (2,5 estrellas) La segunda temporada de Percy Jackson y los dioses del Olimpo adapta El mar de los monstruos, la segunda novela de Rick Riordan, y amplía el universo mitológico con una apuesta más oscura y ambiciosa. Creada por Rick Riordan y Jonathan E. Steinberg, la serie vuelve a estar protagonizada por Walker Scobell como Percy, junto a Leah Sava Jeffries (Annabeth) y Aryan Simhadri (Grover), en una nueva misión marcada por la amenaza que se cierne sobre el Campamento Mestizo. Min 35: ESPECIAL BSO EN PRIMICIA: "TERRA ALTA" DE ARTURO CARDELÚS (4 estrellas) La banda sonora original de Terra Alta, compuesta por el músico español Arturo Cardelús, se erige como uno de los grandes pilares emocionales de la serie, aportando una identidad sonora sobria, contenida y profundamente atmosférica. Desde un enfoque elegante y contemporáneo, Cardelús construye una partitura que acompaña el pulso del thriller sin subrayados excesivos, apoyándose en texturas orquestales, motivos íntimos y una tensión latente que dialoga con el paisaje moral de la historia. De especial relevancia es que, en primicia y desde Los Ángeles, el propio compositor nos ha facilitado varios temas originales inéditos, no publicados oficialmente, que permiten apreciar con mayor profundidad el trabajo musical y creativo desarrollado para la serie.

The Court of the Dead, ch. 1 to 6 So, we're now the most current we've ever been with the Rick Riordan books. Crazy! This week, we have a very measured discussion about The Court of the Dead. You may have noticed a recent trend of us "yelling" or "getting steaming mad" about these fun little novels - but no longer. Now, we are fair. We are impartial.

We're talking not only about her journey into Classics, but about the four books that have most influenced her on her path to scholarship. It's a great blend that opens up conversations about childhood reading, ancient ritual, the visual imagination of Greek art, and what it means to inherit stories across generations.Talking to Cosi was a huge amount of fun, and I know you're going to enjoy listening to this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it.Lit with Charles loves reviews.

On Prophecy Radio episode #146, Karen and Kristen revisit Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1 in all its glory, discussing their very favorite moments and any lingering questions ahead of season 2. They also delve into the latest news, including some new footage from the upcoming season. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13. News and Updates (00:6:07) Do you have a Menchie's Frozen Yogurt near you? If so, make sure you stop there on December 10! The new Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 posters depict the giants, Polyphemus, and even the sirens. Did you hear about the Percy Jackson and the Olympians official podcast? Rick is the Indigo Author of the Month, which means it's the perfect time to pick up the Sea of Monsters Deluxe Collector's Edition. (Rick shows off what it looks like on his Instagram.) Illumicrate is reprinting their exclusive Percy Jackson and the Olympians set! This is your sign to pick it up if you missed out last time. Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1 revisit (00:18:44) It's time to jump into our revisit of Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1, starting with–you guessed it–episode 1! Walker is so young in these episodes! And Young Percy is masterful in those early scenes (and the later ones, too!). We're still impressed with the CGI in this show. The cabin scene is so emotional–both Walker and Virginia bring their A-Game. Honestly, this pilot is one of the best we've ever seen. Our first question after jumping into episode 2 is whether we'll see the Council of Cloven Elders again. Will we get another montage in season 2 of all the things Percy got better at?? Was Annabeth watching Percy the whole time, or was she following Clarisse instead? How big are the other symbols going to be when kids start getting claimed? Clarisse is a textbook bully, and we're so excited to see her growth in Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2. Grover is smarter than both Chiron and Mr. D, and we'll be taking no objections to that. Episode 3 is fantastic for so many reasons, but especially the growth of the trio's relationship. Percy earned a lot of Annabeth's respect when he talked about why he chose her for the quest. Grover stood up to his friends, and that's super difficult. Percy IS impertinent. Medusa was a standout in this episode–especially her speech about how the gods are the real monsters. Episode 4 begins with Young Percy in the pool and ends with current-day Percy in the river. It's good that Percy got to see that not all mythological creatures are monsters. Will we see more of the Mist in season 2? Echidna was super terrifying, actually. Episode 5 is a standout, for sure. We get Percy and Annabeth's first hug, so mark that down. But the real emotional epicenter of this episode is during the chair scene and Annabeth's speech to Hephaestus. Ares is the worst, but we still kind of love him. “Thank you for the cheeseburgers and the emotional abuse.” Yeah, they're not going to shy away from his abusive relationship with Clarisse. Oh, Leah Jeffries is a PROFESSIONAL. Will they have a callback to this episode once Aphrodite is introduced? Episode 6 brings us to the Lotus Hotel and Casino. We also meet Hermes in this episode, and it's interesting to see Annabeth's interactions with him. We talk about Clarisse a little, too, and how she differs from Annabeth but has her own strengths.. Percy misses out on his dad, unfortunately. In episode 7, we get the long-awaited mattress shop scene, even if it was pretty brief. Cerberus is super cute, and Annabeth is so smart! We don't always love flashbacks, but they work super well in this show. How do we feel about Hades' casting? The best moment from this episode might just be the diner scene when Poseidon shows up. Finally, we talk about the Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1 finale. Percy vs. Ares was awesome, especially that ichor effect. It's amazing to see Percy own his abilities and the relationship with his dad. What did we think of the look of Olympus? Lance Reddick will always be our Zeus. Poseidon totally still has the hots for Sally. We can't help but notice the lighting for the scene between Luke and Percy at the end. Grover's Searcher's license is a flower!! We're so excited for Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2. It won't be long now!

As Percy, Annabeth, and Grover race to stop a divine war, these episodes crank the stakes way up — bringing in major Olympian players and some of the season's most memorable set pieces. In Episode 5 (“A God Buys Us Cheeseburgers”), Percy (Walker Scobell – The Adam Project, Secret Headquarters) reunites with Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries – Beast, Empire) and Grover (Aryan Simhadri – Cheaper by the Dozen, Spin) on the road to Los Angeles — only to be pulled into Ares' brutal side-quest at Waterland. We get the Tunnel of Love trap, the nerve-shredding Hephaestus throne sequence, and Percy's growing realization that the gods' games are deadlier than any monster. These episodes feature huge guest-star gods, including Adam Copeland (Vikings, WWE Hall of Fame) as the intimidating Ares, and Timothy Omundson (Psych, Galavant) as Hephaestus, whose heartbreaking mythology adds real emotional weight to the quest. Episode 6 (“We Take a Zebra to Vegas”) swings the trio into Las Vegas' Lotus Hotel & Casino, where time warps, temptation hits hard, and the deadline to prevent war slips away. The episode introduces Lin-Manuel Miranda (Hamilton, Encanto) as Hermes, bringing charm and mystery as Percy tries to get answers about the bolt and Luke's involvement — all while the Lotus tries to swallow them whole. Tara & Greg REACT to the best moments including the Waterland Tunnel of Love / shield trap, Percy nearly sacrificing himself on Hephaestus' throne, Ares' threats and divine manipulation, the trio arriving in Vegas and getting lost in the Lotus' time-dilation spell, Hermes' reveal and the ticking clock toward the Underworld, & MORE!!

On Prophecy Radio episode #145, Karen and Kristen discuss the brand new Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 trailer. They also discuss a few fun news items, and catch up on some personal news, too. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13. News and Updates (00:15:00) Roseanne A. Brown got married! Congratulations!! Today's really big news: WE GOT A TRAILER. More on that later. The London Cast recording of The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical is live on streaming! (You can also preorder the CD from their website if you prefer) Our favorite trio did an interview with MTV about their Percy Jackson characters and how they relate to music Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 trailer breakdown (00:20:45) First: Check out the full trailer! Walker has grown so much and it really shows in the opening shots. Prophetic dreams? Are they talking about us?!?! What happened to the three people around Grover when he gets snatched by that tentacle? Laistrygonian sighting. When it's not Luke trying to kill you... We take a pretty good look at Percy's room. Definitely reflects the inner workings of a kid with ADHD. We love this dream talk. Percy's not the only one having dreams, even if we forget that sometimes. The Stymphalian birds are incredible! Can't wait to see that whole scene in action! Grey Sisters sighting: the comedy is on point. The brief bits of Tyson we get here are very promising. We see TreeThalia being stabbed by Luke. Leah is going to absolutely destroy our emotions with her reactions to Thalia's tree being disturbed. Quick shot of Grover (no, we don't see a wedding dress) and Polyphemus with his shepherd's hook. THE POSTCARDS (is it weird that I kinda hope there's a special feature all about these?!) The side by side of Annabeth and Clarice on the ship? New besties alert?! We are desperately hoping we get to see the transformation of Thalia's bracelet into the Aegis. (Here's a link to those stills we talked about on the Percyseries Insta.) This moving rock shot has us a little stumped, but is Annabeth having her siren visions here? That smooth black and gold rock HAS to be Kronos' sarcophagus (good call, Karen!) Who is the winker? Percy falling freaked us out for a second. The CGI on these battle sequences is INSANE. This season is going to be beyond epic. Our favorite moments from the trailer Our predictions/wants/questions for Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 We are both really excited to see that siren scene play out. Here's the link to that video of the trio watching the trailer together! Enjoy! Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 146, where we'll recap and review Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 1, as well as all the latest news.

On Prophecy Radio episode #144, Karen and Kristen discuss the final chapter of The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan, as well as what they might expect when they pick up Throne of Fire sometime in the future. They also chat about the latest Percy Jackson news, including the surprising Aphrodite casting. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air every other week. All discussions are PG-13. News and Updates (00:14:01) Kate McKinnon has been cast as Aphrodite! Yes, we're surprised, but…we can see it. Kristen also found a couple clips from Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 3 filming which you can watch here and here. Blackjack and little baby Nico make an appearance! NerdDaily did an interview with Rick and Mark for The Court of the Dead. They describe writing the book as “improvisational jazz” and we really love that. They have no plans for the future, but that doesn't mean there might not be any…in the future. Percy Jackson and the Olympians: Create Your Fate: A Coloring Book hits store shelves on November 11. The Sea of Monsters graphic novel (with a new cover) and the Disney+ tie-in edition also come out on the same day. The Red Pyramid discussion (00:31:38) This is it! We're here to talk about the final chapter of The Red Pyramid and then make our predictions for what may come next. A lot happened in the last two chapters, so we do a mini recap. Carter gets the last POV chapter! The kids (and Amos) return to Brooklyn and are greeted by an enthusiastic Khufu. Muffin is safe and comfortable, and everyone gets a spot to sleep amongst the rubble. How thoughtful. It takes a while to rebuild the mansion, and each sibling has their own strength. Amos is still struggling with what happened to him, and we totally understand why–it was such a violation. Who is the real Amos and will we get to see him in Book 2? The amulets are safe, and we wonder what it'll be like when the kids are actually ready to host the gods again. Why can Carter see Anubis in his human form now? It must be so weird to see their old home in L.A. We were right about Julius, Osiris, and the Underworld throne! The banter between Anubis and Sadie is what romance books are made of! The situation with Julius is complicated to say the least, though we understand why he did what he did. Ruby shows up and we learn that she was kind of there with Isis when Sadie was hosting the goddess. Horus takes the throne of the gods and no one challenges him. Then all the gods bow to the Kanes. ZEUS WOULD NEVER. The gods restored the mansion, which is super nice, but we all know what we were really hoping for. Amos is leaving to go back to the House of Life and leaving the kids on their own. Except Bast is totally back! Carter thinks Sadie will want to go back to her grandparents, but she's totally going to stay with him in Brooklyn. We really loved the end of this book and how it hints to more coming soon. What were our favorite lines and favorite moments? What can we expect in Book 2? We can't wait to see the new recruits! Carter is totally going to track down the real Zia. The next book is titled The Throne of Fire, and we have a pretty good idea of what that could mean. Feedback (01:12:05) Thank you to Moon for sending in cute pictures of their kitty, Oreo!

In the midst of Harry Potter fever every studio was looking for their own potential young adult franchise to bring to the big screen. In 2010 20th Century Fox settled on Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series, beginning with Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. They even brought on board Christopher Columbus, the director of the first two Harry Potter movies. Sadly the magic wasn't replicated and what we got was a muddled half hearted attempt of an adaptation that fell short in almost every way minus the incredible cast of barely trying known names.
