Spoiler Alert!

This episode, we focus first on the movie of the first book in the Percy Jackson  series,Percy Jackson and the Olympians:  The Lightening Thief, by Rick Riordan. Amanda helps me review the  movie just released, and we go over the similarities and differences from the book version. Then Gary calls in with a great overall review of the movie’s watchability and general quality as a movie itself. Thanks Gary! We think that this movie is definitely watchable for kids, and the books are a must-get!
