S12 · E259May 13 · 1 hr 12 minPercy Jackson Producer Zoë Neary on Steering the Ship!
We cannot believe we are welcoming to the podcast THEEE Zoë Neary-- one of the incredible producers of Percy Jackson & the Olympians! We have long admired Zoë's one-of-a-kind energy and enthusiasm for all things Percy and all things film and television in general. She is a brilliant mind and a brilliant leader and we feel very lucky she stopped by for a nice long conversation on the art of producing, finding tonal growth between seasons, epic needle drops, and (of course) the best place to put your achilles's spot of vulnerability.

S12 · E257May 8 · 1 hr 31 minIs Percy Jackson for Adults? Ft. Dylan DeLuca
This week we welcome to the main feed, for the first time ever, resident Film Bro, one of our earliest patrons, and #MySistersBoyfriend, DYLAN DELUCA! Dylan has NEVER read Percy Jackson, never seen Logan Lerman play Percy Jackson, never heard a note of the Lightning Thief Musical, and is here to join our council of AWOCs (Adults Without Children) as we analyze the famous (to us at least) JSTOPJOSM (Jon Steinberg's Tetrahedron of PJO Showmaking) from our least witnessed angle (non-fans). I truly can't think of a better way to start winding down our Season 2 era than with a good ole long conversation with Dylan covering everything he loved, hated, and didn't understand about the Sea of Monsters. In lieu of socials Dylan asked to promote our patreon. Join us at Patreon.com/seaweedbrain for more Dylan guest content, special episodes every month, a members only Discord server, access to our watch parties, and so much more! Don't wanna subscribe?
