Episode #89 – In Denial

Prophecy Radio episode #89 takes a look at the documentary The Legend of Glynn Turman, starring the man who will be Chiron in Percy Jackson and the Olympians on Disney+. This week, we’re skipping the news, but we’ll be back to catch up in the next episode. We also return to The Kane Chronicles: The Red Pyramid by tackling chapter 13, in which Carter goes forth, like a good king. New episodes of Prophecy Radio air weekly, and we keep our discussions PG-13.



The Legend of Glynn Turman (00:04:34)

You can watch The Legend of Glynn Turman for free on Tubi.
This documentary was more like an extended interview, but if you like film and theater history, then we highly recommend watching it.
What was Glynn’s childhood like?
It all goes back to A Raisin in the Sun.
He was surrounded by so many important people who changed the course of Hollywood forever.
Can you imagine if Glynn had become an aviations engineer instead?
Growing up in New York City during that time definitely led to some life experience.
His time at the High School of Performing Arts was very informative for him and his career.
And while not all of his experiences were good, they turned him into the person he is today.
Let’s talk about some career highlights because there are A LOT of them.
It seems like Glynn Turman was a witness to history given the people he was surrounded with and the experiences he took part in.
Part of it is luck, sure, but his tenacity played a huge role, too.
Not to mention that he’s wildly talented. Now we have an urge to go back and watch some of his projects.
But how does he remember so many stories!?
It was nice to hear him be honest about his low points because, hey, that’s reality.
We loved Glynn’s love of horses and Black Western history.
Movies like Buffalo Soldiers have always been important to him.
We have some other random thoughts like YOUNG JAMES EARL JONES and GREMLINS!
What would it have been like if Glynn had been Han Solo?
He is the perfect person to play Chiron, and we talk about all the reasons why.

Kane Chronicles: The Red Pyramid discussion (00:51:07)

This week, we’re discussing The Red Pyramid chapter 13!
Does Carter have a little crush on Zia?
It’s funny that they have to deal with cooldowns in this universe.
Sadie is like a cat—tell her not to do something, and she’s gonna do it. All while making uncomfortable eye contact.
Are female magicians more powerful?
Is Carter hardwired for battle just like Percy?
What is a ba and does it always have to look like a giant bird? Asking for a friend.
Did you know the origins of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice?
Gonna pass on meeting a tiger fish, tbh.
WHY WOULDN’T YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT THE MAGIC PENGUINS?
Do you know how much of Egypt’s ruins we’ve actually uncovered? Because it’s not a whole lot.
Time to meet Hannibal Lector the Chief Lector
Why are there so few children? Why, Zia!?

Thanks for listening, and tune in next time for episode 90, in which we’ll discuss the news, and then read The Red Pyramid chapter 14!
