About this listen

Bryson and Cooper discuss the new(ish) prequel to the Hunger Games. Featuring: Andrew Peterson's Behold the Lamb of God concert; how swim meet warmups are basically the modern-day Hunger Games; cheering for Taylor Swift to beat Beyonce; Peeta as beta male (but well-deserved winner of the love-triangle); the daunting length of the three-parter; tragedies and fall stories within a larger comedy; the crumbly, gluten-free nature of the final part (Snow's fall arc, his relationship to Lucy Gray); one-star alternate endings; implications, set ups, and payoffs; Chick-Fil-A lunch delivery; forgetting the reason for the Hunger Games; ND Wilson and how to win people over (hint: don't kill people); how a Christian should behave in the arena (seriously); how Star Wars storytelling would have made this movie better; Book storylines getting changed; lame Cracker Barrel Hunger Games; Bryson listening to Olivia Rodrigo; ruining D-12 lore; Snow White sadness; and Bryson's first Screening ending.
