This week, we’re stepping into the rebellion with Mockingjay Part 1, discussing both the book and the film as the story moves away from the Games and into propaganda, resistance, trauma, and war. We break down the emotional tension, the role Katniss is forced to play, and how this first half of Mockingjay builds toward the final fight. Please note: this episode is audio-only, and the audio quality is not quite up to our usual standard. We had technical issues with the original video recording, and the file was corrupted beyond recovery, but we didn’t want the episode to be lost entirely. Hosted by Lindsey with co-hosts Crystal and Keri.
