The Laistrygonians appear in a handful of paragraphs in The Odyssey and half a chapter in The Sea of Monsters. But, wow, do Darien and DJ find a lot to talk about in this giant of an episode.

Topics include why giants are also always cannibals, the height threshold for giants, weird Canadian stereotypes, Darien's rock climbing skills, and Attack on Titan. A lot of Attack on Titan.

Spoilers for Attack on Titan

Content Warning: This episode contains mention of cannibalism, death, drowning, cultural stereotypes, heights, dismemberment, genocide, memory loss, forced captivity, death by fire, and colonialism.
