PARTY PLEASER:\\xa0

Melanie and Melvin continue their summarization of The Hunger Games franchise following their previous party pleaser on The Hunger Games! This time, Katniss and the Hunger-Games-Gang is pulled into another Hunger Games! Who could have expected that? Melanie and Melvin are ready to pick-apart the political intrigue of Panam and question whether Katniss and Peta will ever stand a chance against President Snow!\\xa0

Topics:\\xa0

  • (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 23-minutes discussing different ways to engage movies (phone, tv, theater) and hilarious-or-terrible movie theater experiences. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)\\xa0
  • The Hunger Games: Catching Fire succeeds in being a sequel that increases the scope of the world, characters, and everything in between.\\xa0
  • Despite some of the improvements, parts of\\xa0Catching Fire essentially re-do the material of\\xa0The Hunger Games\\xa0which got a little tiresome for Melvin who wanted to see some new experiences in the Hunger Games universe.\\xa0
  • During the transition between outside life and the beginning of the Hunger Games the aspect ratio becomes\\xa0much fuller. This likely helped engross audience members into the passive disorientation of going from clinical science-fiction d\\xe9cor to the outside survivalist environment.
  • It's a Young-Adult trope to have the protagonist vie between two romantic partners, but in the world of the Hunger Games it always feels like it's a matter of whether or not Katniss will end up with Peta, not whether Katniss will end up with Peta or Gale.
