Jane and Jacqueline, the Unwise Girls, are reading through all of Rick Riordan's mythology-based book series, from Percy Jackson to Magnus Chase and everything in-between. Jacqueline's read a lot of these, and Jane's read just a couple, so have fun on the journey with us!

163: Torture Prison is Good*
The Ship of the Dead, ch. 37 to 42
This week on Unwise Girls, we start off strong with a lot of enthusia - wait, Jane, no, take your hand off the steering wheel! You're driving us straight off a cliff!! Instead of mindless gushing, we have to face questions about if Magnus's character really holds up in time for the climax, Avatar finale problems, purposefully dorky description, the state of Halfborn's virginity, mythical castles and the boring giants that live in them, the God crystal, a new age of Algnus, a couple of good bits, and what found family ACTUALLY gets you. Also, *only if you do a couple bad things a few thousand years ago.
Come back next week for The Ship of the Dead, ch. 43 to 48!

162: The Skittys and the Wailords
The Ship of the Dead, ch. 31 to 36
This week on Unwise Girls, the brainworms that drive us toward toxic yuri have infected us; unfortunately, they also make us go on incredibly long tangents about characters we wish were in the book instead of the hallmates. We also discuss breaking Irish stereotypes, whittling characters down to the most base possible gender archetypes, moms who know best, the sweet spot of Jack's comedy, Riordan stepping once more into writing about slavery weirdly, and what might lie inside his secret hard drive.

161: Strong Male Friendship
The Ship of the Dead, ch. 25 to 30
This week on Unwise Girls we talk about the unfortunately platonic-seeming relationship between Hearthstone and Blitzen, the confusing trajectory of gay(?) anti-Irish(?) misogynist (that one's not in question) Halfborn Gunderson, pawns of prophecy, the best things to do while pissing, the emotion of inheritance, and the apparently inherent evil of helping people for the wrong reasons.

160: Own Goal Car Bomb
The Ship of the Dead, ch. 19 to 24
This week on Unwise Girls we talk about Jane's big travel mistake, a pretty dead-on depiction of York, the psychology of TJ, the troubles with assuming someone's gender, also just The Troubles, triage, Seinfeld, things you probably can't actually blame on Loki, Riordan's signature childhood animal trauma, and highly conspicuous Tolkien references.

Nectar of the Pods: Episode 69 - Big Red Tequila
Tres Navarre, Book 1: Big Red Tequila
while the janes are away (on vacation), the jacquelines will play (by putting up the first episode of our coverage of rick riordan's ORIGINAL series, tres navarre, on the main feed!!!!). please enjoy! here's the original description:
well well well. this has been a long time coming. you thought you could just roll on back into the Patreon feed and everything would be like it was?
well you're... mostly right. it's still two dumbasses with dubious critical faculties talking about Things We Noticed, but this time it's for a whole-ass book! specifically, Big Red Tequila, Rick Riordan's debut novel from 1997, a noir-style PI story that shares a surprising amount of DNA with the Percy Jackson books. marvel as we talk about Rick Riordan's vivid descriptions of his hometown of San Antonio! groan in tandem with us as we address the weird racist shit in this book! cheer as we come out the other end thinking that despite some flaws, this is pretty good!
our theme is "Open Galaxy" by Sir_NutS on OCRemix!

159: Thank You, The British
The Ship of the Dead, ch. 13 to 18
Remember feet? We used to laugh about feet. Nowadays, when feet come up, all we can do is sigh and shake our heads. This week on Unwise Girls we talk about how Jane has sold out, Loki's greatest trick yet, gawping at toes, what place honor and goodness have in worldbuilding, workplace psychopathy, Alex's favorite anime, internalized anti-Irish prejudice, expanding your worldviews, and transphobicparents.mp4.
