This is a watch along so you do need to bring your own copy of the episode to see it, there is no PIP or show audio. There is a visual cue off the top, a countdown to start and a timer to help you sync up.

I'd heard from multiple people that this movie was bad. I actually really liked it. I would quite like another as well. The casting for Lucretius 'Lucky' Flickerman was awesome. Looks pretty much identical to Caesar Flickerman.

2024-01-01 11:43:28 +0000 UTCYeah I got the Baird connection but I still disliked the amount of singing. I wasn’t surprised by it because it’s Rachel Zeglers thing (love her) but I would’ve loved if they included more things from the book and less songs.

2023-12-31 20:52:29 +0000 UTCSuzanne Collins is such an amazing storyteller. I think she knew that we needed another hunger games with the current state of society. The movie translated the book wonderfully! Something that you do miss w/o Coryo's inner monologues is that despite any feelings he starts to develop for Lucy Gray, everything he does has a selfish motivation. Everything he does, he does it for his own benefit. He's always been manipulative to a point. Also, I love how you guys appreciate their names, and Suzanne also picked names with mythology that connects deeply to their characters. For ex: Lucy Gray is a character in a folk song that disappears in the snow. 😩 The last thing I wanted to point out was 1. I don't think Lucy Gray put the snake there to attack Coryo. It was cold out and it was likely attracted to the shawl for Lucy's lingering body heat. 2. The snake bite also likely made Coryo hallucinate to a point. Her cousin Maude Ivory was able to pass on Lucy's song "the hanging tree" and I think Lucy continued North to freedom. As always, I loved your reactions!

2023-12-30 20:29:12 +0000 UTCStanley Tucci played 'Caesar Flickerman'. Lucretius "Lucky" Flickerman is most likely Caesar Flickerman's father, which we learn when Lucky needs to cancel his dinner reservation "for two with a highchair." And in The Hunger Games, Caesar was said to be hosting the Games for more than 40 years, so it's very possible he took over for his father.
