6: The Themes Surface, Unfortunately 19.03.2021 1:23:30

The Lightning Thief, ch. 20 to 22. We did it! We finish The Lightning Thief! Don't worry, folks, because in this heavily-packed episode of Unwise Girls, we talk all about... Percy Jackson's relationship to 9/11? Yikes! We end up talking a lot about the book's nationalistic tendencies, but we also get to discuss a cool swordfight, Percy's character growth, Poseidon's weirdly realistic Bad Dad Behav...

5: We Create a Tumblr Sexyman 19.03.2021 52:35

The Lightning Thief, ch. 17 to 19. In a hellishly good episode of Unwise Girls, we rapidly flip our opinions on themes, pet big dogs, talk about the extremely unfortunate description of Hades (and the even more unfortunate implications they have), celebrate some great prose, consider what exactly the book is trying to say about the music industry, and ponder the existence and murderability of the...

4: We Stan Our New Patron Goddess 12.03.2021 1:15:57

(Episodes 3 and 4 released simultaneously) The Lightning Thief, ch. 13 to 16. It's amazing! We finally get to stop talking about the alt-right centaur community, and instead focus on what's important: friendship. We dig deep on the world's worst road trip, discuss Percy's parasocial relationship with his dad, theorize about the dark side of Annabeth and Grover, fangirl over how cool and definitely...

3: We Meet the Virgin Bus Driver 12.03.2021 42:53

(Episodes 3 and 4 released simultaneously) The Lightning Thief, ch. 9 to 12. In a time-limited episode, the Unwise Girls cover weird and uncomfortable Medusa facts, probably hopefully accidentally please-don't-be-on-purpose far-right dogwhistles, unexpected sponsorship opportunities, Top 10 Funny Mist Moments (#4 will make you hurt your grandma), and MUCH MUCH MORE!! If you want to know how to spe...

2: We Fall Down the Chiron Pipeline 05.03.2021 1:00:41

(First two episodes are being released at the same time so we can get through our backlog, but we'll have a more normal schedule after catching up.) The Unwise Girls cover The Lightning Thief (chapters 5 through 8). It'd be great if this was a normal episode, but instead we have to talk about fascism for a long time!! Come on, Rick! Plus, learn about horse anatomy! Contend with us once more talkin...

1: We Read Rick's Star Wars Fanfic 05.03.2021 49:57

Be amazed by our commentary on a children's book! Tremb...
