It&#39;s not one that made us rush to fast-pass more episodes though, since it only involves Kronos. We&#39;ve got our priorities, and the mad former tyrant is gonna have to take a back seat to finding out if Persephone&#39;s mother is going to come to her senses, or if Apollo is <em>finally </em>going to get what&#39;s coming to him.</p> <p>The <em>first </em>episode we recap does have new information about Hera&#39;s history with Kronos, and it&#39;s all kinds of fascinating. (tldr: Hera <em>earned </em>her place as Queen of the Gods, and Zeus is a great big jerk who doesn&#39;t deserve her.) There&#39;s even one element that made us <em>both </em>think of Elita-One from the IDW Transformers comic. &#39;Cause we&#39;re nerds.</p> <p>Now that we&#39;re past the summer solstice and the nights are getting longer, we&#39;re starting to think about Fall, which makes us think about what horror movies to watch. Elizabeth listened to the Flixwatcher episode about the movie Unfriended - one of our favorites and NO we don&#39;t think it&#39;s annoying, shut up - which lead to recommendations about a couple of other movies along the same vein. Post a comment if <em>you </em>have any horror movies you think we&#39;d like. Gore shouldn&#39;t be over the top, although it&#39;s not a deal-breaker. Jump scares are optional, but appreciated. Weirdness and a hard-to-describe sense of dread is mandatory.</p> <p>This week&#39;s outro is a clip from <a href="https://freemusicarchive.org/music/modern-monster/stonker/flyover/?fbclid=IwAR3sWzDoi8NgvEIKkVhZSoGTgy8liHjAtM9jXpmJU8Moa-3j4pvymuhnKcs">Modern Monster</a> by Flyover. </p> <p>L
