Arc vs. Stunted Parabola: A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Part 3
📚Send us Fan Mail! 💖 There is an implicit understanding in Western culture that a good story involves the focal character learning something that forces change in their life. But what happens if that character arc ends in the same place that it started? Can that still make for a good story? It's our final examination of Suzanne Collins's A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and Jess, Julia, and Maggie all have strong opinions on the definition of self-defense, the nature of character evolution, whether or not word people can be math people, and where they'd like to see Collins take the franchise next. We volunteer as tribute--repeatedly. We're diving into the world of The Hunger Games: all 5 books, all 6 movies breaking down the world, the characters, the feelings, that weird thing with the pearl, our hatred for Gale, our love for Haymitch, & more.

Between Death and Disgrace: A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Part 2
📚Send us Fan Mail! 💖 Why is popular fiction so full of obsessive men who jealously stake their claim over women? What is it about this possessive streak that so many people find entrancing when it's so clearly a sign of self-fixation? AND WHY ARE ALL THE POV CHARACTERS IN THE HUNGER GAMES SO BAD AT ACKNOWLEDGING THEIR FRIENDSHIPS???

Co-ri-ol-ANUS: A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes, Part 1
📚Send us Fan Mail! 💖 What makes a good villain? More importantly, do the elements that make for a good villain translate into the elements that make for a compelling POV character? While we're at it, how do you pronounce all of these names? Corio-what? Se-Jonas Brothers? Can we get away with calling Clem-whatever-who-turns-into-a-lizard "Clizzard?" ("Yer a clizzard, Harry!") Join Jess, Katy, Julia, and Maggie as they tackle Part 1 of Suzanne Collins's A Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and its exploration of the world that would make the Hunger Games relevant.

Everywhere-a-Lag-Lag: Mockingjay, 22-28
📚Send us Fan Mail! 💖 As we bring our time with the original Hunger Games trilogy to a close (the books, at least; join us for the remaining movies over the next two weeks), we have the chance to retrospect on Suzanne Collins's Mockingjay, its fit with the other books, and its place in history. So naturally, Jess and Katy skim over this this in favor of discussing the significance of pacing as communication, the importance of fanfiction, what makes for a good sacrificial lamb character, and the bad habit of stretching an IP too far.

#TouchingFace: Mockingjay, 15-21
📚Send us Fan Mail! 💖 Suzanne Collins's Mockingjay is a book! And we're reading it! On a book podcast! Who knew?? But because it's a book, there are certain conventions and cultural thought patterns that need to be followed in order for it to communicate well, and well... we have thoughts. Jess, Katy, and Julia discuss how to identify lazy writing, logical character development, expressing themes through character behavior (and not just names), and whether or not the author might have a subconscious face fetish. We volunteer as tribute--repeatedly.

Just Friends Forever - Catching Fire, 22-End
📚Send us Fan Mail! 💖 How do you walk the line between compelling and frustrating when your POV character is clueless about what's going on around her? Does the conditioning of their everyday world excuse their inability to recognize physical and emotional longing when they arise? And does that inability make for a good story? "Why is everyone trying to save Peeta when I specifically requested it?" How much humanity and baseline compassion should your characters sacrifice in order to create a scene that traumatizes that POV character for the sake of a good story? Does Jess really call... it... "mooooooo"? These questions and more drive Jess, Katy, and Julia as they tackle the plot, characterization, and divisive cliffhanger of the final chapters of Suzanne Collins's Catching Fire. We volunteer as tribute--repeatedly. We're diving into the world of The Hunger Games: all 5 books, all 6 movies breaking down the world, the characters, the feelings, that weird thing with the pearl, our hatred for Gale, our love for Haymitch, & more.

The Chosen One™ - Catching Fire, 8-14
📚Send us Fan Mail! 💖 Whose bright idea was it to make a teenage girl the symbol of an uprising against tyranny? Our deep dive into Suzanne Collins's Hunger Games series continues, with Jess and Julia tackling the literary path of Katniss's mid-Catching Fire character development, the sheer illogic of many tropes that YA fiction takes for granted, sooo many sad emojis over Haymitch, even more of that ongoing "just friends" frustration, and of course, much more. We volunteer as tribute--repeatedly. We're diving into the world of The Hunger Games: all 5 books, all 6 movies breaking down the world, the characters, the feelings, that weird thing with the pearl, our hatred for Gale, our love for Haymitch, & more. All leading up to the theatrical release of Sunrise On The Reaping this November. Visit BookedAllNight.CO for more info.
