107. Hunt for Percy Jackson

Co-hosts Aubrey Paris and Emily Black compare Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief (2010) to the National Treasure franchise. After deciding whether to consider Greek mythology akin to legends or the supernatural, their conversation considers family dynamics, character roles, and the wild decision for a kids' movie to depict teenagers being accidentally drugged in a Las Vegas casino. • It's your last chance to get tickets to this week's DEBUT of National Treasure Hunt's HEIST NIGHT on October 9 and 10, 2025, at President Lincoln's Cottage (Washington, DC).
