Cankles, Coldplay, and "Catching Fire" by Suzanne Collins

Join our Patreon so we can start a monthly Book Club!Courtney and Jennifer have a lot to catch up on — from Trump’s cankles and Netflix’s “woke” reboot of The Babysitter’s Club to the chaos of K-Pop Demon Hunters and the great Coldplay scandal of 2025 (don’t worry, they have opinions).But things get serious when they dive into the heart of this episode: a raw, unapologetic comparison between President Snow, the fictional fascist of The Hunger Games, mass-murder, Benjamin Netanyahu and our very own fascist-in-chief, Donald Trump.Using Catching Fire (Book 2 of Suzanne Collins’ YA dystopia) as a lens, they explore themes of propaganda, collective punishment, media control, and the weaponization of fear — and what happens when truth becomes a casualty of power.If you're ready for dystopian fiction meets disturbing reality (with a side of pop culture chaos), this episode is for you.Donate to AT LEAST one of these GoFundMesShow Notes:Netflix’s Baby-Sitters Club Stuck to the Books by Staying Woke | ObserverAdvocates Warn Arizona Woman Could Die of Cancer If She’s Not Released from ICE Jail Democracy Now!Donald Trump's Biggest Allies Split With Him Over Jeffrey Epstein - NewsweekIsrael-Palestine war: Why fans are comparing the new Hunger Games film to the war in Gaza | Middle East EyeTrump Administration Will Burn 500 Tons of Food Meant to Feed 1.5 Million ChildrenTrump's CanklesTrump Denies Graphic Epstein Letter by Saying He's 'Never' Doodled.
