  over
• 4:30
  the
• 4:30
  last
• 4:30
  seven
• 4:30
  years
• 4:30
  and
• 4:31
  now
• 4:31
  337
• 4:32
  episodes.
• 4:33
  It
• 4:33
  genuinely
• 4:34
  means
• 4:34
  so
• 4:34
  much
• 4:35
  that
• 4:35
  people
• 4:35
  keep
• 4:35
  coming
• 4:35
  back
• 4:36
  to
• 4:36
  this
• 4:36
  podcast.
• 4:37
  And
• 4:37
  it's
• 4:38
  something
• 4:38
  that
• 4:38
  I
• 4:39
  adore
• 4:39
  doing
• 4:39
  with
• 4:40
  all
• 4:40
  of
• 4:40
  my
• 4:40
  heart.
• 4:40
  And
• 4:40
  it's
• 4:41
  mostly
• 4:41
  because
• 4:42
  of
• 4:42
  movies
• 4:42
  like
• 4:43
  this
• 4:43
  one,
• 4:43
  because
• 4:44
  this
• 4:44
  is
• 4:44
  a
• 4:44
  really
• 4:45
  fascinating
• 4:46
  episode
• 4:46
  to
• 4:47
  go
• 4:47
  into
• 4:47
  for
• 4:48
  so
• 4:48
  many
• 4:48
  different
• 4:48
  reasons.
• 4:49
  I
• 4:50
  returned
• 4:50
  from
• 4:50
  animation
• 4:51
  season
• 4:51
  with
• 4:51
  an
• 4:51
  episode
• 4:52
  last
• 4:52
  week
• 4:52
  on
• 4:53
  the
• 4:53
  Spice
• 4:53
  Girls
• 4:54
  and
• 4:54
  their
• 4:55
  movie
• 4:55
  Spice
• 4:55
  World,
• 4:56
  which
• 4:56
  was
• 4:57
  a
• 4:57
  real
• 4:57
  treat,
• 4:57
  actually.
• 4:58
  Mostly
• 4:59
  because
• 4:59
  nothing
• 4:59
  has
• 5:00
  really
• 5:00
  shaped
• 5:00
  pop
• 5:01
  culture
• 5:01
  and
• 5:01
  pop
• 5:02
  music
• 5:03
  quite
• 5:03
  like
• 5:03
  those
• 5:04
  five
• 5:04
  women
• 5:05
  did.
• 5:05
  And
• 5:05
  with
• 5:06
  it
• 5:06
  being
• 5:06
  International
• 5:07
  Women's
• 5:07
  Month,
• 5:08
  I
• 5:08
  wanted
• 5:09
  to
• 5:09
  do
• 5:09
  something
• 5:10
  else
• 5:10
  for
• 5:11
  the
• 5:11
  girls.
• 5:12
  And
• 5:12
  Katniss
• 5:13
  Everdeen
• 5:13
  feels
• 5:13
  like
• 5:14
  quite
• 5:14
  a
• 5:14
  unique
• 5:14
  heroine
• 5:15
  for
• 5:15
  young
• 5:15
  adult
• 5:16
  fiction.
• 5:17
  She's
• 5:17
  not
• 5:17
  meek
• 5:18
  and
• 5:18
  timid
• 5:18
  like
• 5:18
  Bella
• 5:19
  Swan,
• 5:19
  and
• 5:19
  she's
• 5:20
  not
• 5:20
  a
• 5:20
  know
• 5:21
  it
• 5:21
  all
• 5:21
  like
• 5:21
  Hermione
• 5:22
  Granger.
• 5:22
  She's
• 5:23
  just
• 5:23
  a
• 5:23
  poor
• 5:23
  girl
• 5:24
  from
• 5:24
  an
• 5:24
  Outlying
• 5:25
  district
• 5:25
  of
• 5:25
  Panem,
• 5:26
  who
• 5:26
  loves
• 5:26
  nothing
• 5:26
  in
• 5:27
  this
• 5:27
  world
• 5:27
  except
• 5:28
  her
• 5:28
  young
• 5:28
  younger
• 5:28
  sister.
• 5:29
  So
• 5:29
  much
• 5:30
  so
• 5:30
  she's
• 5:30
  willing
• 5:30
  to
• 5:30
  volunteer
• 5:31
  as
• 5:31
  Tribute
• 5:31
  to
• 5:32
  save
• 5:32
  her
• 5:32
  sister's
• 5:32
  life.
• 5:33
  She's
• 5:34
  not
• 5:34
  an
• 5:34
  easy
• 5:34
  character
• 5:35
  to
• 5:35
  like,
• 5:35
  but
• 5:36
  her
• 5:36
  superpower
• 5:37
  is
• 5:37
  empathy.
• 5:38
  And
• 5:39
  she
• 5:39
  forges
• 5:39
  her
• 5:40
  own
• 5:40
  path
• 5:40
  rather
• 5:40
  than
• 5:41
  just
• 5:41
  accept
• 5:41
  the
• 5:42
  status
• 5:42
  quo
• 5:42
  of
• 5:42
  this
• 5:43
  world.
• 5:43
  And
• 5:43
  what
• 5:44
  this
• 5:44
  world
• 5:45
  expects
• 5:45
  of
• 5:46
  young
• 5:46
  people
• 5:46
  like
• 5:46
  her.
• 5:47
  It
• 5:47
  will
• 5:48
  eventually
• 5:48
  make
• 5:48
  her
• 5:49
  the
• 5:49
  Mockingjay.
• 5:50
  But
• 5:50
  for
• 5:50
  now,
• 5:51
  she's
• 5:51
  just
• 5:52
  the
• 5:52
  female
• 5:52
  tribute
• 5:53
  from
• 5:53
  District
• 5:54
  12.
• 5:55
  May
• 5:55
  the
• 5:55
  odds
• 5:55
  be
• 5:56
  ever
• 5:56
  in
• 5:56
  her
• 5:56
  favour.
• 5:57
  And
• 5:57
  may
• 5:58
  the
• 5:58
  odds
• 5:58
  be
• 5:58
  ever
• 5:58
  in
• 5:59
  your
• 5:59
  favour.
• 6:00
  Because

• 12:27
  Her
• 12:27
  idea
• 12:28
  was
• 12:28
  based
• 12:28
  on
• 12:28
  the
• 12:28
  myth
• 12:29
  of
• 12:29
  Theseus
• 12:30
  and
• 12:30
  the
• 12:30
  Minotaur,
• 12:31
  which
• 12:31
  she
• 12:31
  originally
• 12:32
  read
• 12:32
  when

  she
• 12:32
  was
• 12:32
  eight
• 12:33
  years

  old.
• 12:34
  The

  tale

  of

  Theseus
• 12:35
  and
• 12:35
  the

  Minotaur
• 12:35
  was
• 12:36
  told
• 12:36
  by
• 12:36
  Hermes,
• 12:37
  messenger
• 12:37
  of
• 12:37
  the
• 12:38
  gods.
• 12:38
  Hermes
• 12:39
  tells
• 12:39
  how
• 12:39
  Crete
• 12:40
  was
• 12:40
  once
• 12:40
  all
• 12:41
  powerful
• 12:41
  because
• 12:42
  of
• 12:42
  the
• 12:42
  instruments
• 12:42
  of
• 12:43
  war
• 12:43
  created

  by
• 12:44
  Daedalus
• 12:44
  for
• 12:45
  King
• 12:45
  Minos.
• 12:46
  Minos
• 12:47
  competed
• 12:47
  with
• 12:47
  his
• 12:48
  brothers
• 12:48
  as
• 12:48
  ruler.
• 12:49
  He
• 12:49
  prayed
• 12:50
  to
• 12:50
  the
• 12:50
  sea
• 12:50
  God
• 12:50
  Poseidon
• 12:51
  to
• 12:51
  send
• 12:51
  him
• 12:51
  a
• 12:52
  Snow
• 12:52
  White
• 12:52
  bull

  sign

  of

  the
• 12:54
  gods
• 12:54
  favour.
• 12:55
  Minos
• 12:55
  was
• 12:56
  to
• 12:56
  sacrifice
• 12:56
  the
• 12:57
  bull
• 12:57
  to
• 12:57
  honour
• 12:57
  Poseidon,
• 12:58
  but
• 12:58
  owing
• 12:59
  to
• 12:59
  the
• 12:59
  bull's
• 12:59
  beauty
• 13:00
  he
• 13:00
  decided
• 13:01
  instead
• 13:01
  to
• 13:01
  keep
• 13:02
  him.
• 13:02
  Minos
• 13:03
  believed
• 13:03
  that
• 13:03
  the
• 13:04
  God
• 13:04
  would
• 13:04
  accept
• 13:04
  a
• 13:05
  substitute
• 13:05
  sacrifice
• 13:06
  to
• 13:07
  punish
• 13:07
  Minos.
• 13:07
  Poseidon
• 13:08
  arranged
• 13:08
  with
• 13:08
  Aphrodite
• 13:09
  for
• 13:09
  Minos
• 13:10
  wife
• 13:10
  Pasiphae
• 13:11
  to
• 13:12
  fall
• 13:12
  in
• 13:12
  love
• 13:12
  with
• 13:13
  the
• 13:13
  bull.
• 13:14
  Pasiphae
• 13:14
  had
• 13:15
  the
• 13:15
  master
• 13:15
  craftsman
• 13:16
  Daedalus
• 13:17
  fashion
• 13:17
  for
• 13:17
  her
• 13:18
  a
• 13:18
  hollow
• 13:18
  wooden
• 13:19
  cow
• 13:19
  into
• 13:19
  which
• 13:20
  she
• 13:20
  climbed
• 13:20
  to
• 13:21
  let
• 13:21
  the
• 13:21
  bull
• 13:21
  mate
• 13:22
  with
• 13:22
  her.
• 13:23
  She
• 13:23
  then
• 13:23
  fell
• 13:23
  pregnant
• 13:24
  and
• 13:24
  bore
• 13:24
  Asterius
• 13:26
  Minotaur.
• 13:27
  Pasiphae
• 13:28
  nursed
• 13:28
  the
• 13:28
  Minotaur,
• 13:29
  but
• 13:29
  he
• 13:29
  grew
• 13:29
  in
• 13:30
  size
• 13:30
  and
• 13:30
  became
• 13:31
  ferocious,
• 13:32
  rampaging
• 13:32
  throughout
• 13:33
  the
• 13:33
  palace,
• 13:33
  killing
• 13:34
  those
• 13:34
  it
• 13:34
  caught.
• 13:35
  To
• 13:35
  find
• 13:36
  a
• 13:36
  solution
• 13:36
  to
• 13:36
  this
• 13:36
  problem,
• 13:37
  Daedalus
• 13:38
  created
• 13:38
  a
• 13:38
  labyrinth
• 13:39
  under
• 13:39
  the
• 13:39
  palace
• 13:40
  and
• 13:40
  the
• 13:40
  Minotaur
• 13:41
  was
• 13:41
  lured
• 13:41
  inside
• 13:42
  and
• 13:42
  locked
• 13:42
  in.
• 13:43
  However,
• 13:43
  it
• 13:44
  still
• 13:44
  needed
• 13:44
  feeding.
• 13:45
  Minos
• 13:46
  decided
• 13:46
  to
• 13:47
  demand
• 13:47
  tribute
• 13:47
  from
• 13:48
  the
• 13:48
  peoples
• 13:48
  he
• 13:49
  had
• 13:49
  conquered
• 13:50
  in
• 13:50
  the
• 13:50
  form
• 13:50
  of
• 13:50
  seven
• 13:51
  young
• 13:51
  men
• 13:52
  and
• 13:52
  seven
• 13:52
  young
• 13:52
  women
• 13:53
  to
• 13:53
  be
• 13:53
  fed
• 13:53
  to
• 13:53
  the
• 13:54
  Minotaur.
• 13:55
  This
• 13:55
  tribute
• 13:55
  was
• 13:56
  a
• 13:56
  consequence
• 13:56
  of
• 13:56
  Athens
• 13:57
  earlier
• 13:57
  conflict
• 13:58
  with
• 13:58
  Crete,
• 13:59
  specifically
• 13:59
  the
• 13:59
  killing
• 14:00
  of
• 14:00
  Minos
• 14:00
  son
• 14:01
  Androgeus.
• 14:02
  Theseus,
• 14:03
  son
• 14:04
  of
• 14:04
  King
• 14:04
  Aegeus
• 14:05
  of
• 14:05
  Athens,
• 14:05
  is
• 14:06
  determined
• 14:06
  to
• 14:06
  be
• 14:06
  one
• 14:07
  of
• 14:07
  the
• 14:07
  chosen
• 14:07
  14
• 14:08
  Athenian
• 14:09
  youths
• 14:09
  and
• 14:10
  persuades
• 14:10
  his
• 14:10
  father
• 14:11
  to
• 14:11
  allow
• 14:11
  him
• 14:11
  to
• 14:12
  go
• 14:12
  to
• 14:12
  Crete
• 14:12
  with
• 14:13
  the
• 14:13
  aim
• 14:13
  of
• 14:13
  killing
• 14:14
  the
• 14:14
  Minotaur,
• 14:14
  which
• 14:15
  he
• 14:15
  does.
• 14:16
  Theseus
• 14:16
  volunteering
• 14:17
  to
• 14:17
  be
• 14:17
  part
• 14:17
  of
• 14:18
  the
• 14:18
  tribute
• 14:18
  and
• 14:19
  killing
• 14:19
  the
• 14:19
  Minotaur
• 14:20
  ended
• 14:20
  the
• 14:20
  tribute
• 14:21
  and
• 14:21
  leading
• 14:21
  to
• 14:22
  a
• 14:22
  new
• 14:22
  era
• 14:23
  of
• 14:23
  Athenian
• 14:24
  power.
• 14:25
  Theseus
• 14:26
  is
• 14:26
  also
• 14:26
  from
• 14:27
  the
• 14:27
  ship
• 14:27
  of
• 14:27
  Theseus
• 14:28
  fame.
• 14:28
  Just
• 14:28
  FYI,
• 14:30
  Crete's
• 14:31
  ruthlessness
• 14:32
  and
• 14:32
  the
• 14:32
  willingness
• 14:32
  to
• 14:33
  kill
• 14:33
  children
• 14:34
  spoke
• 14:34
  to
• 14:34
  Suzanne
• 14:35
  Collins
• 14:35
  that
• 14:36
  the
• 14:36
  real
• 14:36
  villains
• 14:37
  won't
• 14:37
  just
• 14:37
  kill
• 14:38
  adults,
• 14:39
  but
• 14:39
  spare
• 14:39
  them
• 14:40
  and
• 14:40
  kill
• 14:40
  the
• 14:40
  children.
• 14:41
  And
• 14:41
  in
• 14:42
  a
• 14:42
  true
• 14:42
  authoritarian
• 14:43
  regime,
• 14:44
  the
• 14:44
  parents
• 14:44
  will
• 14:45
  sit
• 14:45
  by
• 14:45
  powerless
• 14:46
  to
• 14:46
  stop
• 14:46
  it.
• 14:47
  She
• 14:47
  took
• 14:48
  inspiration
• 14:48
  from
• 14:48
  the
• 14:49
  story,
• 14:49
  but
• 14:49
  instead
• 14:50
  of
• 14:50
  setting
• 14:50
  it
• 14:50
  in
• 14:51
  a
• 14:51
  labyrinth,
• 14:52
  she
• 14:52
  decided
• 14:52
  on
• 14:53
  Roman
• 14:53
  style
• 14:54
  gladiatorial
• 14:55
  games.
• 14:56
  Then
• 14:57
  one
• 14:57
  night
• 14:57
  while
• 14:57
  channel
• 14:58
  surfing,
• 14:58
  she
• 14:59
  flicked
• 14:59
  between
• 14:59
  a
• 14:59
  reality
• 15:00
  TV
• 15:00
  program
• 15:01
  and
• 15:01
  the

  news
• 15:02
  which
• 15:02
  was
• 15:02
  reporting
• 15:03
  on
• 15:03
  the
• 15:03
  Iraq
• 15:04
  war.
• 15:04
  On
• 15:05
  one
• 15:05
  channel
• 15:06
  there's
• 15:06
  a
• 15:06
  group
• 15:06
  of
• 15:06
  young
• 15:07
  people
• 15:07
  competing
• 15:07
  for
• 15:08
  something
• 15:08
  and
• 15:08
  playing
• 15:09
  up
• 15:09
  to
• 15:09
  the
• 15:09
  cameras.
• 15:10
  And
• 15:10
  on
• 15:10
  the
• 15:10
  other
• 15:11
  there's
• 15:11
  a
• 15:11
  group
• 15:11
  of
• 15:12
  young
• 15:12
  people
• 15:12
  fighting
• 15:13
  in
• 15:13
  an
• 15:13
  actual
• 15:14
  war.
• 15:15
  All
• 15:15
  of
• 15:15
  these
• 15:15
  ideas
• 15:15
  blurred
• 15:16
  together
• 15:16
  and
• 15:17
  Collins
• 15:17
  had
• 15:17
  a
• 15:18
  really
• 15:18
  good
• 15:18
  idea
• 15:18
  for
• 15:18
  her
• 15:19
  story.
• 15:19
  The
• 15:19
  idea
• 15:20
  that
• 15:20
  society
• 15:21
  eventually
• 15:22
  becomes
• 15:22
  numb
• 15:23
  to
• 15:23
  the

  auditioned

  First

  Class

  and
• 24:02
  Ross
• 24:02
  was
• 24:02
  knocked
• 24:03
  out
• 24:03
  by
• 24:03
  her
• 24:03
  presence
• 24:04
  and

  knew

  that
• 24:05
  she

  was

  Katniss.
• 24:06
  Lawrence
• 24:07
  wasn't
• 24:07
  sure
• 24:07
  she
• 24:08
  wanted
• 24:08
  the
• 24:08
  pressure
• 24:08
  though,
• 24:09
  and
• 24:09
  took
• 24:09
  three
• 24:10
  days
• 24:10
  to
• 24:10
  consider
• 24:10
  taking
• 24:11
  the
• 24:11
  role
• 24:11
  when
• 24:11
  it
• 24:12
  was
• 24:12
  offered
• 24:12
  to
• 24:12
  her.
• 24:13
  She
• 24:13
  asked
• 24:13
  her
• 24:14
  mum
• 24:14
  for
• 24:14
  advice
• 24:15
  and
• 24:15
  she
• 24:15
  advised
• 24:15
  her
• 24:16
  to
• 24:16
  take
• 24:16
  it
• 24:16
  if
• 24:16
  she
• 24:17
  loved
• 24:17
  the
• 24:17
  role
• 24:17
  regardless
• 24:18
  of
• 24:18
  the
• 24:19
  size
• 24:19
  of
• 24:19
  the
• 24:19
  movie,
• 24:20
  despite
• 24:20
  Lawrence
• 24:21
  being
• 24:21
  four
• 24:22
  years
• 24:22
  older
• 24:22
  than
• 24:22
  Katniss
• 24:23
  because
• 24:23
  she
• 24:23
  was
• 24:23
  20
• 24:24
  when
• 24:24
  she
• 24:24
  took
• 24:24
  the
• 24:24
  role,
• 24:25
  and
• 24:25
  not
• 24:26
  also
• 24:26
  quite
• 24:26
  how
• 24:27
  Katniss
• 24:27
  is
• 24:27
  described
• 24:28
  in
• 24:28
  the
• 24:28
  book,
• 24:28
  but
• 24:29
  more
• 24:29
  on
• 24:29
  that
• 24:29
  later.
• 24:30
  Lawrence
• 24:30
  accepted
• 24:31
  the
• 24:31
  role
• 24:31
  the
• 24:31
  same
• 24:32
  month
• 24:32
  in
• 24:32
  March
• 24:33
  2011.
• 24:34
  That
• 24:34
  would
• 24:34
  probably
• 24:34
  change
• 24:35
  her
• 24:35
  life.
• 24:36
  Despite
• 24:36
  the
• 24:36
  character
• 24:37
  literally
• 24:37
  starving
• 24:38
  in
• 24:38
  a
• 24:38
  scene,
• 24:38
  she
• 24:39
  refused
• 24:39
  to
• 24:39
  lose
• 24:40
  weight
• 24:40
  for
• 24:40
  the
• 24:40
  role,
• 24:41
  not
• 24:41
  wanting
• 24:41
  to
• 24:42
  be
• 24:42
  a
• 24:42
  bad
• 24:42
  role
• 24:42
  model.
• 24:43
  And
• 24:43
  yet
• 24:44
  somehow
• 24:45
  2000s
• 24:46
  media
• 24:46
  still
• 24:46
  told
• 24:47
  us
• 24:47
  Jennifer
• 24:48
  Lawrence
• 24:48
  was
• 24:48
  fat
• 24:49
  in
• 24:49
  this
• 24:49
  movie
• 24:49
  and
• 24:50
  that
• 24:50
  she
• 24:50
  needed
• 24:50
  to
• 24:51
  be
• 24:51
  skinnier,
• 24:51
  which
• 24:52
  is
• 24:52
  ridiculous
• 24:53
  because
• 24:53
  they
• 24:54
  weren't
• 24:54
  asking
• 24:54
  Liam
• 24:55
  Hemsworth
• 24:55
  and
• 24:55
  Josh
• 24:56
  Hutcherson
• 24:56
  the
• 24:56
  same
• 24:57
  questions
• 24:57
  and
• 24:58
  suggesting
• 24:58
  they
• 24:58
  be
• 24:59
  less
• 24:59
  muscular.
• 25:00
  I
• 25:00
  wonder
• 25:00
  why
• 25:01
  that
• 25:01
  is.
• 25:02
  Lawrence
• 25:02
  was
• 25:02
  paid
• 25:03
  a
• 25:03
  modest
• 25:03
  $500,000
• 25:04
  for
• 25:05
  the
• 25:05
  role
• 25:05
  and
• 25:06
  she
• 25:06
  would
• 25:06
  make
• 25:06
  20
• 25:07
  times
• 25:07
  more
• 25:07
  than
• 25:07
  that
• 25:08
  for
• 25:08
  the
• 25:08
  sequel
• 25:09
  Catching
• 25:09
  Fire.
• 25:10
  Ross
• 25:11
  also
• 25:11
  thought
• 25:11
  Josh
• 25:12
  Hutcherson
• 25:12
  and
• 25:12
  Liam
• 25:13
  Hemsworth
• 25:13
  were
• 25:13
  perfect
• 25:14
  for
• 25:14
  Peeta
• 25:14
  and
• 25:15
  Gale
• 25:15
  respectively.
• 25:16
  He
• 25:16
  found
• 25:16
  the
• 25:17
  three
• 25:17
  leads
• 25:17
  easy
• 25:18
  to
• 25:18
  find
• 25:18
  and
• 25:19
  cast.
• 25:19
  He
• 25:20
  had
• 25:20
  to
• 25:20
  convince
• 25:20
  Woody
• 25:21
  Harrelson
• 25:21
  to
• 25:21
  play
• 25:21
  Haymitch
• 25:22
  Abernathy
• 25:23
  after
• 25:23
  Harrelson
• 25:24
  turned
• 25:24
  down
• 25:24
  the
• 25:25
  role
• 25:25
  initially
• 25:25
  and

  John

  C.

  Reilly
• 25:27
  was

  in

  talks
• 25:27
  with
• 25:27
  for
• 25:27
  the
• 25:28
  part,
• 25:28
  but
• 25:28
  afterwards
• 25:29
  Harrelson
• 25:29
  was
• 25:30
  grateful
• 25:30
  to
• 25:30
  Ross
• 25:31
  for
• 25:31
  giving
• 25:31
  him
• 25:31
  such
• 25:32
  a
• 25:32
  fantastic
• 25:33
  role.

  Ross

  had

  and
• 25:38
  when

  Ross
• 25:38
  told
• 25:39
  Tucci
• 25:39
  he

  had

  a

  role

  in

  Tucci
• 25:44
  accepted
• 25:44
  it
• 25:45
  without
• 25:45
  even
• 25:45
  knowing
• 25:46
  the

  character
• 25:46
  or
• 25:47
  seeing
• 25:47
  a
• 25:47
  script
• 25:48
  because
• 25:48
  he
• 25:48
  just
• 25:49
  trusted
• 25:49
  him
• 25:50
  and

  he

  was

  that

  Makovsky

  Makovsky

  With

  she

  Clothing

  was

  the

  for

  the

  the

  of

  written

  but
• 31:26
  as

  racially
• 31:27
  ambiguous.
• 31:28
  Despite
• 31:29
  Rue
• 31:29
  being
• 31:29
  written
• 31:30
  as
• 31:30
  black,
• 31:31
  there
• 31:31
  was
• 31:31
  some
• 31:31
  fan
• 31:32
  backlash
• 31:32
  over
• 31:32
  the

  casting

  of

  Amandla
• 31:34
  Stenberg
• 31:35
  as

  Rue

  because
• 31:36
  readers
• 31:36
  hadn't
• 31:37
  thought
• 31:37
  that
• 31:37
  the

  character
• 31:37
  they
• 31:38
  were

  reading

  black.
• 31:40
  Despite
• 31:40
  the
• 31:40
  fact
• 31:40
  that
• 31:41
  Suzanne
• 31:41
  Collins
• 31:42
  did

  actually
• 31:42
  explicitly

  describe
• 31:44
  Rue

  as

  black.
• 31:45
  Lenny

  Kravitz's
• 31:46
  casting
• 31:47
  as
• 31:47
  Sinner
• 31:47
  received
• 31:48
  a
• 31:48
  mixed
• 31:48
  reaction
• 31:49
  initially,
• 31:49
  but
• 31:50
  Jennifer
• 31:50
  Lawrence,
• 31:51
  being
• 31:51
  cast
• 31:51
  as
• 31:51
  the
• 31:52
  olive
• 31:52
  skinned
• 31:52
  Katniss,
• 31:53
  received
• 31:54
  accusations
• 31:54
  of
• 31:55
  whitewashing
• 31:55
  that
• 31:56
  at
• 31:56
  the
• 31:56
  very
• 31:56
  least
• 31:56
  she
• 31:57
  was
• 31:57
  described
• 31:57
  as
• 31:58
  a
• 31:58
  Mediterranean
• 31:59
  woman.
• 31:59
  The
• 32:00
  casting
• 32:00
  was
• 32:00
  no
• 32:00
  doubt
• 32:01
  intensified
• 32:01
  by
• 32:02
  the
• 32:02
  controversy
• 32:02
  surrounding
• 32:03
  the
• 32:03
  casting
• 32:03
  of
• 32:03
  Rue
• 32:04
  and
• 32:04
  Thresh.
• 32:05
  Looking
• 32:06
  back,
• 32:06
  the
• 32:06
  controversy
• 32:07
  surrounding
• 32:07
  Rue
• 32:08
  seems
• 32:08
  particularly
• 32:09
  silly.
• 32:09
  But
• 32:10
  once
• 32:10
  the
• 32:10
  movie
• 32:10
  is
• 32:11
  came
• 32:11
  out,
• 32:11
  most
• 32:11
  people
• 32:12
  agreed
• 32:12
  that
• 32:12
  Lawrence
• 32:13
  did
• 32:13
  a
• 32:13
  great
• 32:13
  job
• 32:14
  as
• 32:14
  Katniss.
• 32:15
  That
• 32:15
  she
• 32:15
  conveyed
• 32:16
  the
• 32:16
  character's
• 32:16
  feelings
• 32:16
  and
• 32:17
  emotions
• 32:17
  well,

  we

  get

  the

• 32:21
  For
• 32:22
  her
• 32:22
  part,
• 32:23
  Suzanne
• 32:23
  Collins
• 32:24
  wrote

  fans

  of

  the

  in

  2011
• 32:27
  dear
• 32:28
  readers,
• 32:28
  we
• 32:28
  have
• 32:29
  found
• 32:29
  Katniss
• 32:30
  as
• 32:30
  the
• 32:31
  author.
• 32:31
  I
• 32:31
  went
• 32:31
  into
• 32:32
  the
• 32:32
  casting
• 32:32
  process
• 32:33
  with
• 32:33
  a
• 32:33
  certain
• 32:34
  degree
• 32:34
  of
• 32:34
  trepidation.
• 32:35
  Believing
• 32:36
  your
• 32:36
  heroine
• 32:37
  can
• 32:37
  make
• 32:37
  the
• 32:37
  leap
• 32:37
  from
• 32:37
  the
• 32:38
  relative
• 32:38
  sense
• 32:38
  safety
• 32:38
  of
• 32:39
  the
• 32:39
  page
• 32:39
  to
• 32:39
  the
• 32:40
  flesh
• 32:40
  and
• 32:40
  bones
• 32:40
  of
• 32:41
  reality
• 32:41
  of
• 32:41
  the
• 32:41
  screen
• 32:42
  is
• 32:42
  something
• 32:42
  of
• 32:43
  a
• 32:43
  creative
• 32:43
  act
• 32:44
  of
• 32:44
  faith.
• 32:45
  But
• 32:45
  after
• 32:45
  watching
• 32:46
  dozens
• 32:46
  of
• 32:46
  auditions
• 32:47
  by
• 32:47
  a
• 32:47
  group
• 32:47
  of
• 32:48
  very
• 32:48
  fine
• 32:48
  young
• 32:49
  actresses,
• 32:49
  I
• 32:50
  felt
• 32:50
  like
• 32:50
  there
• 32:50
  was
• 32:51
  only
• 32:51
  one
• 32:51
  who
• 32:51
  truly
• 32:52
  captured
• 32:52
  the
• 32:52
  character
• 32:53
  I
• 32:53
  wrote
• 32:53
  in
• 32:53
  the
• 32:53
  book.
• 32:54
  And
• 32:54
  I'm
• 32:55
  thrilled
• 32:55
  to
• 32:55
  say
• 32:55
  that
• 32:55
  Jennifer
• 32:56
  Lawrence
• 32:56
  has
• 32:57
  accepted
• 32:57
  the
• 32:57
  role.
• 32:58
  In
• 32:58
  her
• 32:59
  remarkable
• 32:59
  audition
• 33:00
  piece,
• 33:00
  I
• 33:00
  watched
• 33:01
  Jennifer
• 33:01
  embody
• 33:02
  the
• 33:02
  very
• 33:02
  essential
• 33:03
  quality
• 33:03
  necessary
• 33:04
  necessary
• 33:04
  to
• 33:04
  play
• 33:05
  Katniss.
• 33:06
  I
• 33:06
  saw
• 33:06
  a
• 33:06
  girl
• 33:06
  who
• 33:07
  has
• 33:07
  the
• 33:07
  potential
• 33:07
  range
• 33:08
  to
• 33:08
  send
• 33:08
  an
• 33:08
  arrow
• 33:09
  into
• 33:09
  the
• 33:09
  game
• 33:09
  makers
• 33:10
  and
• 33:11
  the
• 33:11
  protectiveness
• 33:11
  to
• 33:12
  make
• 33:12
  Rue
• 33:12
  her
• 33:12
  ally,
• 33:13
  who
• 33:13
  has
• 33:14
  conquered
• 33:14
  both
• 33:14
  Peter
• 33:15
  and
• 33:15
  Gale's
• 33:15
  hearts,
• 33:16
  even
• 33:16
  though
• 33:16
  she's
• 33:17
  done
• 33:17
  her
• 33:17
  best
• 33:17
  to
• 33:18
  wall
• 33:18
  herself
• 33:18
  off
• 33:18
  emotionally
• 33:19
  from
• 33:20
  anything
• 33:20
  that
• 33:20
  would
• 33:20
  lead
• 33:20
  to
• 33:21
  romance.
• 33:22
  Most
• 33:22
  of
• 33:22
  all,
• 33:23
  I
• 33:23
  believe
• 33:23
  that
• 33:23
  this
• 33:24
  was
• 33:24
  a
• 33:24
  girl
• 33:24
  who
• 33:24
  could
• 33:25
  hold
• 33:25
  out
• 33:25
  that
• 33:25
  handful
• 33:26
  of
• 33:26
  berries
• 33:26
  and
• 33:27
  incite
• 33:27
  the
• 33:27
  beaten
• 33:28
  down
• 33:28
  districts
• 33:28
  of
• 33:28
  Panem
• 33:29
  to
• 33:29
  rebel.
• 33:30
  I
• 33:30
  think
• 33:31
  that
• 33:31
  was
• 33:31
  the
• 33:31
  essential
• 33:32
  question
• 33:32
  for
• 33:32
  me.
• 33:33
  Could
• 33:33
  she
• 33:33
  believably
• 33:34
  inspire
• 33:34
  a
• 33:35
  rebellion?
• 33:36
  Did
• 33:36
  she
• 33:36
  project
• 33:37
  the
• 33:37
  strength,
• 33:37
  defiance
• 33:38
  and
• 33:38
  intellect
• 33:39
  you
• 33:39
  would
• 33:40
  need
• 33:40
  to
• 33:40
  follow
• 33:40
  her
• 33:41
  into
• 33:41
  certain
• 33:41
  war?
• 33:42
  For
• 33:42
  me,
• 33:43
  she
• 33:43
  did.
• 33:44
  Jennifer's
• 33:45
  just
• 33:45
  an
• 33:45
  incredible
• 33:46
  actress.
• 33:46
  So
• 33:47
  powerful,
• 33:47
  vulnerable,
• 33:48
  beautiful,
• 33:49
  unforgiving
• 33:49
  and
• 33:50
  brave.
• 33:50
  I
• 33:51
  never
• 33:51
  thought
• 33:51
  we'd
• 33:51
  find
• 33:52
  somebody
• 33:52
  this
• 33:52
  amazing
• 33:53
  for
• 33:53
  the
• 33:53
  role
• 33:54
  and
• 33:54
  I
• 33:54
  can't
• 33:54
  wait
• 33:55
  for
• 33:55
  everyone
• 33:55
  to
• 33:55
  see
• 33:55
  see
• 33:56
  her
• 33:56
  play
• 33:56
  it.
• 33:57
  Thank
• 33:57
  you
• 33:57
  all
• 33:57
  for
• 33:58
  sharing
• 33:58
  in
• 33:58
  this
• 33:58
  journey
• 33:59
  and
• 33:59
  may
• 33:59
  the
• 33:59
  odds
• 33:59
  be
• 34:00
  ever
• 34:00
  in
• 34:00
  your
• 34:00
  favour.
• 34:01
  Love,

  Suzanne

  Collins,

• 34:04
  So
• 34:05
  if
• 34:05
  Suzanne
• 34:05
  Collins
• 34:06
  can
• 34:06
  be
• 34:06
  okay
• 34:06
  with
• 34:06
  it,
• 34:07
  surely
• 34:07
  everyone
• 34:08
  else
• 34:08
  could
• 34:08
  be
• 34:08
  too,
• 34:09
  right?
• 34:10
  It's
• 34:10
  sad
• 34:10
  that
• 34:10
  Amandla
• 34:11
  Stenberg,
• 34:12
  who
• 34:12
  was
• 34:12
  12
• 34:12
  at
• 34:12
  the
• 34:12
  time
• 34:13
  she
• 34:13
  was
• 34:13
  cast,
• 34:14
  had
• 34:14
  to
• 34:14
  go
• 34:14
  through
• 34:15
  the
• 34:15
  racist
• 34:15
  abuse
• 34:16
  online
• 34:16
  that
• 34:17
  she
• 34:17
  had
• 34:17
  to
• 34:17
  go
• 34:17
  through
• 34:18
  now.
• 34:19
  Comparisons
• 34:19
  to
• 34:19
  Battle
• 34:20
  Royale
• 34:20
  are
• 34:20
  abound,
• 34:21
  but
• 34:21
  unlike
• 34:21
  Battle
• 34:22
  Royale,
• 34:22
  the
• 34:22
  major
• 34:23
  concern
• 34:23
  concerned
• 34:23
  for
• 34:23
  the
• 34:24
  movie
• 34:24
  was
• 34:24
  the
• 34:25
  MPAA
• 34:26
  and
• 34:26
  the
• 34:26
  potential
• 34:26
  rating
• 34:27
  they
• 34:27
  would
• 34:27
  get
• 34:27
  for
• 34:27
  a
• 34:28
  movie
• 34:28
  that
• 34:28
  essentially
• 34:29
  glorifies
• 34:30
  the
• 34:30
  deaths
• 34:30
  of
• 34:31
  children.
• 34:32
  When
• 34:32
  Nina
• 34:32
  Jacobson
• 34:33
  first
• 34:33
  talked
• 34:34
  to
• 34:34
  Suzanne
• 34:34
  Collins
• 34:35
  about
• 34:35
  adapting
• 34:35
  the
• 34:35
  books,
• 34:36
  they
• 34:36
  agreed
• 34:37
  that
• 34:37
  they
• 34:37
  both
• 34:37
  wanted
• 34:38
  the
• 34:38
  movie
• 34:38
  to
• 34:38
  be
• 34:38
  PG
• 34:39
  13
• 34:40
  because
• 34:40
  Collins
• 34:41
  wrote
• 34:41
  the
• 34:41
  book
• 34:41
  for
• 34:41
  readers
• 34:42
  12
• 34:42
  and
• 34:42
  up
• 34:43
  and
• 34:43
  they
• 34:43
  wanted
• 34:44
  those
• 34:44
  ages
• 34:45
  to
• 34:45
  be
• 34:45
  able
• 34:45
  to
• 34:45
  see
• 34:46
  the
• 34:46
  movie.
• 34:47
  They
• 34:47
  didn't
• 34:47
  want
• 34:47
  to
• 34:48
  dilute
• 34:48
  or
• 34:48
  soften
• 34:49
  the
• 34:49
  material
• 34:49
  because
• 34:50
  that
• 34:50
  would
• 34:50
  really
• 34:50
  be
• 34:50
  irresponsible
• 34:51
  in
• 34:51
  its
• 34:52
  own
• 34:52
  way.
• 34:52
  The
• 34:53
  books
• 34:53
  are
• 34:53
  very
• 34:53
  intense
• 34:54
  and
• 34:54
  demanding
• 34:55
  of
• 34:55
  the
• 34:55
  reader
• 34:55
  and
• 34:56
  the
• 34:56
  movie
• 34:56
  should
• 34:56

  that

  included

  not

  aging

  the

  with

  Jacobson

  you're

  its

• 35:09
  But
• 35:09
  because

  these

  were
• 35:10
  children,
• 35:11
  it

  also

  couldn't

  feel

  exploitative,

  sensationalist

  or

  stylized,

  it

  had

  to

  have

  weight

  gravitas.

  Nina
• 35:54
  Jacobson
• 35:55
  had
• 35:56
  originally

  The

  movie,
• 35:58
  of

  course,
• 35:59
  does
• 35:59
  have

  disturbing

  scenes,

  but
• 36:00
  nothing

  unsuitable

• 36:03
  Sometimes
• 36:04
  not
• 36:04
  showing
• 36:05
  something
• 36:05
  can
• 36:06
  be
• 36:06
  more
• 36:06
  effective
• 36:06
  than
• 36:07
  showing
• 36:07
  it,
• 36:08
  and
• 36:08
  that
• 36:08
  became
• 36:08
  an
• 36:09
  easy
• 36:09
  way
• 36:09
  to

  show

  violence
• 36:10
  without

  showing

  It

  could

  still

  easily
• 36:14
  tap

  into

  the

  a

  lot

  climate

  and
• 36:22
  justice,

  and

  the

  constant

  feeling

  of

  dread
• 36:24
  that

  we

  all

  have

  every

  single

  day.
• 36:26
  But
• 36:26
  also
• 36:27
  to

  have
• 36:27
  a

  movie

  and

  a

  that

  values

  someone

  who

  doesn't

  go

  all
• 36:32
  out

  to
• 36:33
  kill,

  someone

  who
• 36:34
  protects
• 36:35
  a
• 36:35
  young
• 36:35
  girl
• 36:35
  to

  the

  best
• 36:36
  of

  her
• 36:36
  ability
• 36:37
  and
• 36:37
  when
• 36:37
  she
• 36:38
  dies,
• 36:38
  someone
• 36:39
  who
• 36:39
  takes
• 36:39
  a

  moment
• 36:40
  to
• 36:40
  honour
• 36:40
  her

  and
• 36:41
  give

  her

  a

  memorial.
• 36:43
  That

  Katniss

  human
• 36:44
  life,
• 36:45
  gives

  the

  people

  something
• 36:46
  the

  Capitol

  has

  been
• 36:48
  trying

  to
• 36:48
  quash.
• 36:50
  Hope.
• 36:51
  And
• 36:52
  as
• 36:52
  we
• 36:52
  all
• 36:52
  know,
• 36:53
  rebellions
• 36:54
  are
• 36:54
  built
• 36:54
  on
• 36:54
  hope.
• 36:55
  Wrong
• 36:56
  movie,
• 36:56
  but
• 36:56
  you
• 36:57
  get
• 36:57
  the
• 36:57
  gist.
• 37:01
  It's
• 37:02
  a
• 37:02
  good
• 37:02
  time
• 37:02
  to
• 37:02
  segue
• 37:02
  into
• 37:03
  the
• 37:03
  obligatory
• 37:03
  Keanu
• 37:04
  reference
• 37:04
  of
• 37:04
  this
• 37:05
  episode,
• 37:06
  which
• 37:06
  is
• 37:06
  a
• 37:07
  part
• 37:07
  of
• 37:07
  this
• 37:07
  podcast
• 37:08
  where
• 37:08
  I
• 37:08
  try
• 37:08
  and
• 37:08
  link
• 37:09
  every
• 37:09
  movie
• 37:09
  that
• 37:09
  I
• 37:09
  feature
• 37:10
  with
• 37:10
  Keanu
• 37:11
  Reeves.
• 37:12
  Now
• 37:12
  this
• 37:13
  one
• 37:13
  was
• 37:13
  a
• 37:13
  particularly
• 37:14
  tricky
• 37:14
  one
• 37:15
  because
• 37:15
  Keanu
• 37:16
  Reeves
• 37:16
  doesn't
• 37:16
  really
• 37:16
  go
• 37:17
  in
• 37:17
  for
• 37:17
  young
• 37:17
  adult
• 37:18
  entertainment.
• 37:19
  However,
• 37:20
  Lionsgate,
• 37:21
  obviously
• 37:22
  bolstered
• 37:22
  from
• 37:23
  the
• 37:23
  success
• 37:23
  of
• 37:23
  the
• 37:24
  Hunger
• 37:24
  Games,
• 37:25
  would
• 37:25
  then
• 37:25
  go
• 37:25
  on
• 37:26
  to
• 37:26
  release
• 37:26
  a
• 37:26
  little
• 37:26
  movie
• 37:27
  in
• 37:27
  2014
• 37:28
  called
• 37:28
  John
• 37:29
  Wick,
• 37:30
  which
• 37:30
  would
• 37:30
  also
• 37:30
  become
• 37:30
  a
• 37:31
  huge
• 37:31
  success.
• 37:32
  The
• 37:32
  studio
• 37:33
  with
• 37:33
  three
• 37:33
  sequels,
• 37:34
  one
• 37:34
  TV
• 37:34
  miniseries,
• 37:35
  and
• 37:35
  one
• 37:36
  spin
• 37:36
  off
• 37:36
  movie
• 37:37
  so
• 37:37
  far.
• 37:38
  And
• 37:38
  of
• 37:38
  course,
• 37:38
  who
• 37:39
  stars
• 37:39
  in
• 37:39
  John
• 37:39
  Wick
• 37:40
  but
• 37:40
  Keanu
• 37:41
  Reeves?
• 37:41
  And
• 37:42
  that
• 37:42
  is
• 37:42
  the
• 37:42
  easiest
• 37:43
  way
• 37:43
  to
• 37:43
  link
• 37:43
  Keanu
• 37:43
  Reeves
• 37:44
  to
• 37:44
  the
• 37:44
  Hunger
• 37:45
  Games.
• 37:46
  So
• 37:47
  the
• 37:47
  Hunger
• 37:47
  Games
• 37:47
  is
• 37:47
  known
• 37:48
  specifically
• 37:48
  for
• 37:49
  its
• 37:49
  music,
• 37:50
  mostly
• 37:50
  its
• 37:51
  leitmotifs.
• 37:52
  I
• 37:52
  am
• 37:52
  going
• 37:52
  to
• 37:52
  try
• 37:52
  and
• 37:53
  whistle.
• 37:53
  I
• 37:53
  hope
• 37:53
  this.
• 37:54
  I
• 37:54
  hope
• 37:54
  this
• 37:55
  works.
• 38:00
  Something
• 38:00
  like
• 38:00
  that
• 38:00
  anyway.
• 38:02
  I
• 38:02
  can't
• 38:02
  tell
• 38:02
  you
• 38:03
  how
• 38:03
  many
• 38:03
  times
• 38:03
  I've
• 38:03
  tried
• 38:04
  to
• 38:04
  do
• 38:04
  that
• 38:04
  for
• 38:04
  this
• 38:05
  episode.
• 38:05
  I've
• 38:06
  probably
• 38:06
  cut
• 38:06
  most
• 38:06
  of
• 38:07
  my
• 38:07
  attempts
• 38:07
  out,
• 38:08
  but
• 38:08
  there's
• 38:08
  that.
• 38:08
  And
• 38:09
  there's
• 38:09
  also
• 38:09
  the
• 38:09
  Horn
• 38:10
  of
• 38:10
  Plenty,
• 38:10
  which
• 38:11
  is
• 38:11
  the
• 38:11
  general
• 38:12
  theme
• 38:12
  of
• 38:12
  Panem.
• 38:13
  Danny
• 38:14
  Elfman
• 38:14
  and
• 38:14
  T
• 38:15
  Bone
• 38:15
  Burnett
• 38:16
  were
• 38:16
  initially
• 38:16
  hired
• 38:17
  to
• 38:17
  score
• 38:17
  the
• 38:17
  Hunger
• 38:18
  Games,
• 38:18
  and
• 38:19
  Burnett
• 38:19
  was
• 38:20
  also
• 38:20
  going
• 38:20
  to

  act

  as

• 38:22
  producer
• 38:23
  for
• 38:23
  the

  soundtrack.
• 38:24
  However,
• 38:24
  due
• 38:25
  to
• 38:25
  scheduling
• 38:25
  conflicts,
• 38:26
  James
• 38:27
  Newton
• 38:27
  Howard
• 38:28
  replaced
• 38:28
  Danny

  as

  the

  composer.

  and

  they

  also

  composed

  which

  appears

  throughout

  this

  audience
• 42:44
  without
• 42:44
  watering
• 42:45
  down
• 42:45
  the
• 42:45
  seriousness.
• 42:46
  There's
• 42:47
  inequality
• 42:47
  and
• 42:48
  class
• 42:48
  divide.
• 42:48
  There's
• 42:49
  an
• 42:49
  authoritarian
• 42:50
  government.
• 42:50
  It's
• 42:51
  a
• 42:51
  satire
• 42:51
  of
• 42:52
  reality
• 42:52
  TV
• 42:53
  and
• 42:53
  that
• 42:53
  there
• 42:53
  are
• 42:53
  no
• 42:54
  limits
• 42:54
  to
• 42:54
  what
• 42:55
  a
• 42:55
  producer
• 42:55
  will
• 42:55
  do
• 42:56
  to
• 42:56
  get
• 42:56
  viewers.
• 42:57
  The
• 42:58
  Hunger
• 42:58
  Games
• 42:58
  succeeded
• 42:59
  not
• 42:59
  because
• 42:59
  it
• 43:00
  had
• 43:00
  a
• 43:00
  clear
• 43:00
  political
• 43:01
  philosophy,
• 43:02
  but
• 43:02
  because
• 43:02
  it
• 43:02
  understood
• 43:03
  the
• 43:03
  power
• 43:03
  of
• 43:04
  entertainment.
• 43:04
  Above
• 43:05
  all,
• 43:06
  that
• 43:06
  there's
• 43:06
  very
• 43:06
  little
• 43:07
  real
• 43:07
  about
• 43:07
  reality
• 43:08
  TV
• 43:09
  because
• 43:09
  a
• 43:09
  producer
• 43:10
  can
• 43:10
  edit
• 43:10
  anything
• 43:11
  out
• 43:11
  of
• 43:11
  nothing
• 43:11
  to
• 43:12
  get
• 43:12
  views
• 43:12
  in
• 43:13
  clicks.
• 43:13
  And
• 43:14
  hundreds
• 43:14
  of
• 43:14
  years
• 43:14
  later,
• 43:15
  Panem's
• 43:16
  capital
• 43:16
  is
• 43:16
  doing
• 43:17
  the
• 43:17
  same
• 43:17
  thing,
• 43:18
  manufacturing
• 43:19
  stories
• 43:19
  to
• 43:19
  get
• 43:20
  viewers
• 43:20
  to,
• 43:21
  quote,
• 43:21
  care
• 43:22
  about
• 43:22
  their
• 43:22
  favorite
• 43:23
  tributes.
• 43:24
  Not
• 43:24
  that
• 43:24
  it's
• 43:24
  any
• 43:25
  semblance
• 43:25
  of
• 43:25
  real
• 43:26
  care.
• 43:26
  It's
• 43:27
  like
• 43:27
  how
• 43:27
  we
• 43:27
  care
• 43:27
  for
• 43:28
  our
• 43:28
  favorite
• 43:28
  reality
• 43:29
  TV
• 43:29
  contestant.
• 43:30
  We
• 43:30
  don't
• 43:30
  actually
• 43:31
  care
• 43:31
  even
• 43:32
  if
• 43:32
  they
• 43:32
  win
• 43:33
  or
• 43:33
  not.
• 43:33
  They're
• 43:34
  just
• 43:34
  a
• 43:34
  person
• 43:34
  on
• 43:35
  a
• 43:35
  TV
• 43:35
  screen.
• 43:36
  And
• 43:36
  this
• 43:36
  is
• 43:37
  why
• 43:37
  I
• 43:37
  find
• 43:37
  the
• 43:37
  love
• 43:37
  triangle,
• 43:38
  or
• 43:38
  indeed
• 43:38
  lack
• 43:39
  of
• 43:39
  it,
• 43:40
  fascinating.
• 43:40
  Because
• 43:41
  Katniss
• 43:41
  soon
• 43:41
  realizes
• 43:42
  in
• 43:42
  order
• 43:43
  to
• 43:43
  survive
• 43:43
  and
• 43:44
  get
• 43:44
  the
• 43:44
  sponsors
• 43:44
  to
• 43:45
  find
• 43:45
  favour
• 43:45
  with
• 43:45
  her
• 43:46
  and
• 43:46
  provide
• 43:46
  food
• 43:47
  and
• 43:47
  medicine,
• 43:48
  she
• 43:48
  needs
• 43:48
  to
• 43:49
  play
• 43:49
  up
• 43:49
  to
• 43:49
  the
• 43:49
  edit
• 43:50
  of
• 43:50
  the
• 43:50
  Star
• 43:51
  Crossed
• 43:51
  Lovers
• 43:51
  narrative
• 43:52
  that
• 43:52
  Peter
• 43:53
  hinted
• 43:53
  at
• 43:53
  in
• 43:53
  his
• 43:54
  interview.
• 43:55
  Without
• 43:55
  it,
• 43:55
  they'd
• 43:56
  likely
• 43:56
  be
• 43:56
  dead.
• 43:57
  Without
• 43:58
  it,
• 43:58
  they
• 43:58
  would
• 43:59
  not
• 43:59
  have
• 43:59
  been
• 43:59
  allowed
• 44:00
  to
• 44:00
  win
• 44:00
  together.
• 44:01
  But
• 44:01
  you're
• 44:02
  always
• 44:02
  under
• 44:02
  the
• 44:03
  control
• 44:03
  of
• 44:03
  the
• 44:03
  game
• 44:04
  makers.
• 44:04
  If
• 44:04
  you're
• 44:05
  not
• 44:05
  liked,
• 44:06
  you're
• 44:06
  set
• 44:06
  upon
• 44:06
  by
• 44:06
  mutts,
• 44:07
  or
• 44:07
  if
• 44:07
  they
• 44:07
  want
• 44:07
  you
• 44:08
  to
• 44:08
  move,
• 44:08
  they
• 44:09
  make
• 44:09
  you
• 44:09
  move.
• 44:10
  This
• 44:10
  is
• 44:10
  all
• 44:10
  about
• 44:11
  control
• 44:11
  and
• 44:12
  this
• 44:12
  is
• 44:12
  why
• 44:12
  when
• 44:13
  Katniss
• 44:13
  incites
• 44:14
  a
• 44:14
  rebellion,
• 44:15
  it
• 44:15
  crumbles
• 44:16
  that
• 44:16
  control
• 44:16
  so
• 44:16
  completely.
• 44:17
  It's
• 44:18
  not
• 44:18
  just
• 44:18
  essential
• 44:19
  entertainment,
• 44:20
  it's
• 44:20
  also
• 44:20
  political
• 44:21
  propaganda
• 44:22
  and
• 44:23
  Even
• 44:23
  if
• 44:23
  you
• 44:23
  do
• 44:24
  win,
• 44:24
  you're
• 44:24
  under
• 44:24
  the
• 44:25
  capital's
• 44:25
  control
• 44:25
  for
• 44:26
  life,
• 44:26
  isolated
• 44:27
  from
• 44:27
  your
• 44:27
  community
• 44:28
  in
• 44:28
  a
• 44:28
  victor's
• 44:29
  village,
• 44:29
  having
• 44:30
  to
• 44:30
  live
• 44:30
  with
• 44:30
  the
• 44:31
  trauma
• 44:31
  to
• 44:31
  and
• 44:31
  ptsd,
• 44:32
  substance
• 44:33
  and
• 44:33
  alcohol
• 44:34
  abuse,
• 44:34
  or
• 44:34
  even
• 44:35
  being
• 44:35
  prostituted
• 44:36
  to
• 44:36
  wealthy
• 44:36
  citizens
• 44:37
  like
• 44:37
  we
• 44:38
  eventually
• 44:38
  find
• 44:38
  out
• 44:38
  happened
• 44:39
  to
• 44:39
  Finnick
• 44:39
  and
• 44:40
  Joanna.
• 44:40
  If
• 44:41
  you
• 44:41
  refuse,
• 44:42
  you're
• 44:42
  punished.
• 44:42
  Your
• 44:43
  families
• 44:43
  are
• 44:43
  punished.
• 44:44
  You
• 44:44
  might
• 44:44
  be
• 44:45
  a
• 44:45
  winner,
• 44:45
  but
• 44:46
  you're
• 44:46
  not.
• 44:46
  You're
• 44:46
  actually
• 44:46
  a
• 44:47
  loser
• 44:47
  because
• 44:48
  you're
• 44:48
  forever
• 44:48
  a
• 44:48
  puppet
• 44:49
  of
• 44:49
  the
• 44:49
  capital,
• 44:50
  wheeled
• 44:50
  out
• 44:50
  every
• 44:51
  year
• 44:51
  to
• 44:51
  relive
• 44:51
  your
• 44:52
  trauma
• 44:52
  again
• 44:52
  and
• 44:53
  again
• 44:53
  and
• 44:53
  witness
• 44:54
  young
• 44:54
  people
• 44:54
  under
• 44:55
  your
• 44:55
  charge
• 44:55
  being
• 44:56
  routinely
• 44:56
  murdered
• 44:57
  in
• 44:57
  the
• 44:57
  Games.
• 44:58
  The
• 44:58
  only
• 44:58
  winners
• 44:59
  of
• 44:59
  the
• 44:59
  Hunger
• 44:59
  Games
• 45:00
  are
• 45:00
  the
• 45:00
  wealthy
• 45:01
  elite.
• 45:01
  And
• 45:02
  this
• 45:02
  is
• 45:02
  where
• 45:02
  I
• 45:02
  think
• 45:02
  Woody
• 45:03
  Harrelson's
• 45:03
  performance
• 45:04
  shines
• 45:04
  in
• 45:05
  retrospect
• 45:05
  of
• 45:06
  knowing
• 45:06
  this
• 45:06
  because
• 45:07
  that
• 45:07
  man
• 45:07
  is
• 45:07
  clearly
• 45:08
  suffering
• 45:08
  from
• 45:08
  ptsd.
• 45:10
  This
• 45:10
  is
• 45:10
  probably
• 45:10
  the
• 45:11
  best
• 45:11
  young
• 45:11
  adult
• 45:12
  film
• 45:12
  adaptation
• 45:13
  in
• 45:13
  my
• 45:13
  opinion,
• 45:14
  because
• 45:14
  it
• 45:14
  doesn't
• 45:14
  talk
• 45:14
  down
• 45:15
  to
• 45:15
  its
• 45:15
  audience
• 45:16
  or
• 45:16
  rely
• 45:16
  too
• 45:17
  heavily
• 45:17
  on
• 45:17
  a
• 45:17
  love
• 45:18
  triangle.
• 45:18
  There's
• 45:19
  little
• 45:19
  time
• 45:19
  for
• 45:20
  love
• 45:20
  or
• 45:20
  affection
• 45:21
  in
• 45:21
  the
• 45:21
  Games,
• 45:22
  but
• 45:22
  the
• 45:22
  love
• 45:22
  we
• 45:22
  do
• 45:23
  get,
• 45:23
  I
• 45:23
  feel,
• 45:23
  hits
• 45:24
  hard
• 45:24
  enough.
• 45:25
  And
• 45:25
  that's
• 45:25
  the
• 45:25
  brief
• 45:26
  friendship
• 45:26
  between
• 45:26
  Katniss
• 45:27
  and
• 45:27
  Rue.
• 45:28
  Because
• 45:28
  I
• 45:28
  like
• 45:28
  to
• 45:29
  think
• 45:29
  a
• 45:29
  half
• 45:29
  decent
• 45:30
  person
• 45:30
  in
• 45:30
  those
• 45:30
  Games
• 45:31
  would
• 45:31
  want
• 45:32
  to
• 45:32
  protect
• 45:32
  a
• 45:32
  sweet
• 45:33
  young
• 45:33
  girl
• 45:33
  the
• 45:34
  same
• 45:34
  age
• 45:34
  as
• 45:34
  the
• 45:34
  sister
• 45:35
  you
• 45:35
  desperately
• 45:36
  tried
• 45:36
  to
• 45:36
  protect.
• 45:37
  Katniss
• 45:38
  affection
• 45:38
  for
• 45:38
  Rue
• 45:39
  and
• 45:39
  the
• 45:39
  memorial
• 45:40
  she
• 45:40
  makes
• 45:40
  for
• 45:40
  her
• 45:41
  gives
• 45:41
  the
• 45:41
  people
• 45:42
  of
• 45:42
  District
• 45:42
  11,
• 45:43
  Rue's
• 45:44
  district,
• 45:45
  the
• 45:45
  same
• 45:45
  hope.
• 45:46
  And
• 45:46
  slowly
• 45:47
  but
• 45:47
  surely,
• 45:47
  the
• 45:48
  Girl
• 45:48
  on
• 45:48
  Fire's
• 45:49
  fire
• 45:49
  spreads.
• 45:50
  Don't
• 45:50
  get
• 45:51
  me
• 45:51
  wrong,
• 45:51
  Katniss
• 45:52
  isn't
• 45:52
  completely
• 45:53
  altruistic,
• 45:54
  but
• 45:54
  her
• 45:54
  qualities
• 45:55
  go
• 45:55
  beyond
• 45:56
  what
• 45:56
  we
• 45:56
  expect
• 45:57
  from
• 45:57
  a
• 45:58
  heroine
• 45:58
  in
• 45:58
  YA
• 45:59
  fiction.

  impact

  the

  had

• 46:23
  Archery
• 46:24
  Trade
• 46:24
  association
• 46:25
  rose
• 46:26
  20%.
• 46:27
  And
• 46:27
  I
• 46:27
  think
• 46:27
  that's
• 46:28
  because
• 46:28
  characters
• 46:28
  like
• 46:28
  Katniss
• 46:30
  were
• 46:30
  so
• 46:30
  rare
• 46:31
  back
• 46:31
  then
• 46:31
  and
• 46:32
  even
• 46:32
  now
• 46:33
  are
• 46:33
  still
• 46:33
  so
• 46:34
  rare.
• 46:34
  A
• 46:35
  female
• 46:35
  character
• 46:36
  with
• 46:36
  few
• 46:36
  feminine
• 46:37
  traits
• 46:38
  not
• 46:38
  following
• 46:38
  the
• 46:39
  gender
• 46:39
  norms,
• 46:40
  given
• 46:40
  agency
• 46:41
  and
• 46:41
  power
• 46:41
  and
• 46:41
  skill
• 46:42
  in
• 46:42
  her
• 46:42
  own
• 46:42
  right,
• 46:43
  but
• 46:43
  also
• 46:43
  having
• 46:44
  traits
• 46:44
  that
• 46:44
  might
• 46:45
  deem
• 46:45
  her
• 46:45
  unlikable,
• 46:46
  shall
• 46:47
  we
• 46:47
  say.
• 46:48
  In
• 46:48
  an
• 46:48
  arena
• 46:49
  where
• 46:49
  likability
• 46:50
  is
• 46:50
  more
• 46:50
  important
• 46:50
  than
• 46:51
  anything
• 46:51
  else,
• 46:52
  Katniss
• 46:52
  feels
• 46:53
  real.
• 46:53
  No
• 46:54
  doubt
• 46:54
  because
• 46:54
  she
• 46:54
  was
• 46:55
  written
• 46:55
  by
• 46:55
  a
• 46:55
  woman,
• 46:55
  but
• 46:56
  also
• 46:56
  flawed.
• 46:57
  She's
• 46:58
  known
• 46:58
  Mary
• 46:58
  sue,
• 46:59
  and
• 46:59
  she
• 46:59
  learns
• 47:00
  quickly
• 47:00
  that
• 47:00
  to
• 47:00
  play
• 47:00
  the
• 47:01
  game
• 47:01
  she
• 47:01
  has
• 47:02
  to
• 47:02
  play
• 47:02
  the
• 47:02
  game.
• 47:03
  I
• 47:03
  am
• 47:04
  very
• 47:04
  much
• 47:04
  in
• 47:05
  the
• 47:05
  Jennifer
• 47:05
  Lawrence
• 47:06
  is
• 47:06
  perfect
• 47:06
  in
• 47:07
  this
• 47:07
  role
• 47:07
  club.
• 47:08
  I'm
• 47:08
  a
• 47:08
  huge
• 47:08
  fan
• 47:08
  of
• 47:09
  her
• 47:09
  work
• 47:09
  in
• 47:09
  general,
• 47:10
  and
• 47:10
  the
• 47:10
  fact
• 47:10
  she
• 47:10
  was
• 47:10
  working
• 47:11
  on
• 47:11
  two
• 47:11
  huge
• 47:12
  franchises
• 47:12
  at
• 47:12
  the
• 47:13
  same
• 47:13
  time
• 47:13
  is
• 47:14
  pretty
• 47:14
  admirable.
• 47:15
  I'm
• 47:15
  less
• 47:16
  taken
• 47:16
  with
• 47:16
  Josh
• 47:17
  Hutcherson
• 47:17
  and
• 47:17
  Liam
• 47:18
  Hemsworth,
• 47:19
  but
• 47:19
  I
• 47:19
  could
• 47:19
  watch
• 47:20
  Woody
• 47:20
  Harrelson,
• 47:21
  Lenny
• 47:21
  Kravitz,
• 47:22
  Stanley
• 47:22
  Tucci,
• 47:23
  and
• 47:23
  Donald
• 47:23
  Sutherland
• 47:24
  ad
• 47:24
  infinitum.
• 47:25
  Even
• 47:25
  Elizabeth
• 47:26
  Banks.
• 47:26
  Effie
• 47:27
  is
• 47:27
  one
• 47:27
  of
• 47:27
  those
• 47:28
  characters
• 47:28
  that
• 47:29
  develops
• 47:29
  more
• 47:29
  as
• 47:30
  we
• 47:30
  get
• 47:30
  to
• 47:30
  know
• 47:30
  her,
• 47:31
  and
• 47:31
  I
• 47:31
  think
• 47:31
  Banks
• 47:32
  is
• 47:32
  superb
• 47:32
  in
• 47:33
  Catching
• 47:33
  Fire,
• 47:34
  which
• 47:34
  is
• 47:34
  a
• 47:34
  movie
• 47:35
  I
• 47:35
  should
• 47:35
  probably
• 47:35
  get
• 47:36
  to
• 47:36
  at
• 47:36
  some
• 47:36
  point
• 47:36
  in
• 47:37
  the
• 47:37
  near
• 47:37
  future,
• 47:37
  but
• 47:38
  because
• 47:38
  I
• 47:38
  do
• 47:38
  enjoy
• 47:39
  Catching
• 47:39
  Fire
• 47:40
  a
• 47:40
  hell
• 47:40
  of
• 47:40
  a
• 47:40
  lot.
• 47:41
  But
• 47:41
  as
• 47:41
  the
• 47:42
  mouthpiece
• 47:42
  of
• 47:42
  the
• 47:42
  Capitol,
• 47:43
  Effie
• 47:44
  shows
• 47:44
  that
• 47:44
  the
• 47:45
  more
• 47:45
  that
• 47:45
  powers
• 47:45
  that
• 47:46
  be
• 47:46
  spout
• 47:46
  their
• 47:46
  hate
• 47:47
  and
• 47:47
  lies,
• 47:48
  the
• 47:48
  more
• 47:48
  their
• 47:48
  people
• 47:49
  believe
• 47:49
  it.
• 47:49
  Because
• 47:50
  I
• 47:50
  genuinely
• 47:51
  think
• 47:51
  Effie
• 47:52
  thinks
• 47:52
  this
• 47:52
  is
• 47:53
  a
• 47:53
  wonderful
• 47:53
  opportunity
• 47:55
  for
• 47:55
  these
• 47:55
  young
• 47:55
  people
• 47:56
  because
• 47:57
  she's
• 47:57
  so
• 47:57
  blinded
• 47:58
  by
• 47:58
  her
• 47:59
  own
• 47:59
  privilege.
• 48:00
  To
• 48:00
  me,
• 48:01
  the
• 48:01
  Hunger
• 48:01
  Games
• 48:01
  and
• 48:02
  Battle
• 48:02
  Royale
• 48:02
  are
• 48:02
  two
• 48:02
  separate
• 48:03
  entities
• 48:03
  that
• 48:04
  I
• 48:04
  enjoy
• 48:04
  very
• 48:04
  much.
• 48:05
  Although
• 48:05
  admittedly
• 48:06
  I've
• 48:06
  watched
• 48:06
  the
• 48:07
  Hunger
• 48:07
  Games
• 48:07
  more
• 48:08
  than
• 48:08
  I've
• 48:08
  watched
• 48:08
  Battle
• 48:09
  Royale.
• 48:09
  But
• 48:10
  Battle
• 48:10
  Royale
• 48:10
  has
• 48:11
  been
• 48:11
  on
• 48:11
  the
• 48:11
  list
• 48:11
  for
• 48:11
  this
• 48:12
  podcast
• 48:12
  for
• 48:12
  a
• 48:12
  long
• 48:13
  time.
• 48:13
  So
• 48:14
  eventually
• 48:14
  I
• 48:14
  will
• 48:14
  get
• 48:15
  around
• 48:15
  to
• 48:15
  that
• 48:15
  movie
• 48:15
  because
• 48:16
  as
• 48:16
  I
• 48:16
  say,
• 48:16
  I
• 48:17
  enjoy
• 48:17
  it
• 48:17
  very
• 48:17
  much.
• 48:18
  It's
• 48:19
  interesting
• 48:19
  actually,
• 48:19
  because
• 48:20
  to
• 48:20
  celebrate
• 48:20
  the
• 48:20
  250th
• 48:21
  birthday
• 48:22
  of
• 48:22
  the
• 48:23
  founding
• 48:23
  of
• 48:23
  the
• 48:23
  United
• 48:24
  States,
• 48:24
  Donald
• 48:25
  Trump
• 48:25
  recently
• 48:26
  announced
• 48:26
  the
• 48:27
  Patriot
• 48:28
  Games,
• 48:28
  a
• 48:29
  four
• 48:29
  day
• 48:29
  televised
• 48:30
  athletic
• 48:31
  event
• 48:31
  featuring
• 48:32
  high
• 48:32
  school
• 48:32
  athletes
• 48:33
  aged
• 48:33
  14
• 48:34
  to
• 48:34
  17.
• 48:35
  One
• 48:35
  young
• 48:35
  man
• 48:36
  and
• 48:36
  one
• 48:36
  young
• 48:37
  woman
• 48:37
  from
• 48:37
  each
• 48:38
  state
• 48:38
  and
• 48:38
  territory
• 48:39
  matched
• 48:39
  with
• 48:40
  celebrity
• 48:40
  coaches.
• 48:41
  It
• 48:41
  was
• 48:42
  immediately
• 48:42
  compared
• 48:43
  to
• 48:43
  the
• 48:43
  Hunger
• 48:44
  Games
• 48:45
  and
• 48:45
  I
• 48:45
  would
• 48:45
  love
• 48:46
  it
• 48:46
  if
• 48:46
  one
• 48:46
  of
• 48:47
  the
• 48:47
  competitors,
• 48:48
  ideally
• 48:48
  one
• 48:49
  of
• 48:49
  the
• 48:49
  young
• 48:49
  women,
• 48:50
  stood
• 48:50
  up
• 48:50
  and
• 48:51
  Katniss
• 48:51
  Everdeen
• 48:52
  Trump
• 48:52
  and
• 48:52
  his
• 48:52
  policies.
• 48:53
  Because
• 48:54
  now
• 48:54
  more
• 48:54
  than
• 48:55
  ever,
• 48:55
  there's
• 48:55
  inequality
• 48:56
  between
• 48:56
  men
• 48:57
  and
• 48:57
  women,
• 48:58
  mass
• 48:58
  surveillance,
• 48:59
  crushings
• 48:59
  of
• 49:00
  dissent
• 49:00
  and
• 49:00
  attempted
• 49:01
  silencing
• 49:02
  of
• 49:02
  people,
• 49:02
  and
• 49:03
  protests
• 49:03
  against
• 49:04
  all
• 49:04
  that's
• 49:04
  wrong
• 49:05
  in
• 49:05
  the
• 49:05
  world.
• 49:06
  We
• 49:06
  need
• 49:06
  more
• 49:06
  Katniss
• 49:07
  Everdeens.
• 49:08
  And
• 49:08
  may
• 49:09
  the
• 49:09
  odds
• 49:09
  be
• 49:10
  ever
• 49:10
  in
• 49:10
  their
• 49:11
  favor.
• 49:13
  Thank
• 49:13
  you

  for
• 49:14
  your

  consideration

• 49:16
  As
• 49:16
  always,
• 49:16
  I
• 49:16
  would
• 49:17
  love
• 49:17
  to
• 49:17
  hear
• 49:17
  your

  thoughts

  on

  the

• 49:19
  and
• 49:19
  thank

  you

• 49:23
  The
• 49:23
  next
• 49:23
  episode
• 49:24
  of
• 49:24
  this
• 49:24
  podcast,
• 49:25
  we
• 49:25
  are
• 49:25
  going
• 49:26
  into
• 49:26
  April
• 49:26
  and
• 49:27
  I
• 49:27
  need
• 49:27
  to
• 49:27
  tell
• 49:27
  you
• 49:28
  that
• 49:28
  number
• 49:28
  five
• 49:29
  is
• 49:29
  alive.
• 49:30
  I'm
• 49:30
  actually
• 49:31
  going
• 49:31
  to
• 49:31
  do
• 49:31
  a
• 49:31
  season
• 49:32
  of
• 49:32
  AI
• 49:33
  movies
• 49:33
  in
• 49:33
  April.
• 49:34
  Now
• 49:34
  I've
• 49:34
  coined
• 49:34
  it
• 49:35
  aiproel.
• 49:36
  No,
• 49:36
  I
• 49:36
  know
• 49:37
  it
• 49:37
  doesn't
• 49:37
  really
• 49:37
  work,
• 49:38
  but
• 49:38
  just
• 49:38
  go
• 49:38
  with
• 49:39
  me
• 49:39
  on
• 49:39
  this
• 49:39
  and
• 49:40
  I'm
• 49:40
  starting
• 49:41
  with
• 49:41
  a
• 49:41
  super
• 49:42
  problematic
• 49:42
  80s
• 49:43
  movie
• 49:44
  because
• 49:44
  pretty
• 49:45
  much
• 49:45
  all
• 49:45
  80s
• 49:45
  movies
• 49:46
  are
• 49:46
  super
• 49:46
  problematic
• 49:47
  in
• 49:47
  some
• 49:47
  way,
• 49:48
  shape
• 49:48
  or
• 49:48
  form.
• 49:49
  But
• 49:49
  it
• 49:49
  also
• 49:49
  has
• 49:50
  one
• 49:50
  of
• 49:50
  the
• 49:50
  best
• 49:50
  robotic
• 49:51
  creations
• 49:52
  that
• 49:52
  ever
• 49:52
  put
• 49:52
  to
• 49:53
  screen
• 49:53
  and
• 49:54
  that
• 49:54
  is
• 49:54
  Johnny
• 49:54
  5
• 49:55
  and
• 49:56
  the
• 49:56
  movie
• 49:56
  is
• 49:56
  Short
• 49:57
  Circuit.
• 49:58
  So
• 49:58
  please
• 49:58
  join
• 49:59
  me
• 49:59
  next
