Catching Fire: The Movie

from Popcorn Reading

This week, Alexis and Suzanne discuss The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013). They first check in about the adaptations they've read and watched recently, which leads to Alexis sharing her wish to time travel to see Breaking Dawn Part Two in theaters (if you know, you know). Then, Alexis explains the behind-the-scenes director change-up between the first and second movies. They get into the most significant changes between the source and adaptation. Next, Suzanne shouts out stand-out casting and performances including Philip Seymour Hoffman and Jenna Malone (as well as an important feline recasting). Finally, they rate Catching Fire as an adaptation and as a movie. Check in next week for the first episode covering Mockingjay, the book.
