Suzanne Collins returns to the big screen this fall with \u201cThe Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes", but it\u2019s worth taking a look back at the book that started the phenomenon: THE HUNGER GAMES. In episode 291, Luke & James debate utopian fiction vs. dystopian fiction, dive into the \u201cBattle Royale\u201d controversy, learn about \u201cJust War\u201d theory, react to love triangles that work, and the value of Mary Sues, then head for the cornucopia just in time for Thanksgiving. Join them next week when they react to the film adaptation directed by Gary Ross!
