For this week's main podcast review, I am joined by Lauren LaMagna, Josh Parham & guest Katie Luxford. Today, we are reviewing the newest film in "The Hunger Games" franchise, "The Hunger Games: The Ballad Of Songbirds & Snakes," starring Tom Blyth, Rachel Zegler, Josh Andrés Rivera, Hunter Schafer, Jason Schwartzman, Peter Dinklage & Viola Davis. A prequel to the other films in the franchise with director Francis Lawrence returning, what did we think of this expansion of the world of Panem? Tune in as we discuss this, the story, performances, craftsmanship, and more, including the decision to adapt Suzanne Collins' novel as a single film and its awards season chances.
