Certainly Glynn Turman’s portrayal of Chiron, a centaur, in Percy Jackson and the Olympians (2023) is an homage to Moses Gunn’s portrayal of Cairon in The Neverending Story (1983). Though Cairon was a humanoid in the movie, in the original book Michael Ende had the character as a centaur.

1️⃣ The show’s quirky/dark humour can be hit-and-miss. But this is a story where the comedy is necessary to make it work.
2️⃣ #MosesGunn (#FatherMurphy) is excellent as a cheapskate funeral director. His shocking cruelty towards his nephew is only palatable because the dialogue is humourous.
3️⃣ The climax is genuinely scary.
3️⃣ Roth (#TonyCurtis) gets more to do than usual in this episode. He even gets to play action hero and rescue Dan. And the rest of the episode follows our hero as he chases the baddies and tries to save some kidnapped showgirls bound for the middle east.
4️⃣ There’s no subtlety here. The villains (#MosesGunn, #CesarRomero) are evil through and through. #BritLind (#HowTheWestWasWon) is the chief damsel in distress, but she does get to blow away one of the baddies.
