Podcasts about The Hunger Games

Peter Craig is behind some of the biggest box office successes of the past decade writing screenplays for such hits as THE TOWN, THE HUNGER GAMES: MOCKINGJAY (part 1 and 2), BAD BOYS FOR LIFE, THE BATMAN and TOP GUN: MAVERICK which earned Craig an Oscar and WGA nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay. Craig also wrote GLADIATOR II, which received a BAFTA nomination for Outstanding British Film of the Year. Craig's films have generated over four billion dollars at the global box office. Most recently, Craig created, directed, and was the showrunner for the Apple TV+ series, DOPE THIEF, which follows long-time friends and delinquents who pose as DEA agents to rob a house in the countryside, but end up unintentionally revealing and unraveling the biggest hidden narcotics corridor on the Eastern seaboard. In this interview, we talk about his transition from novelist to screenwriter, the making of THE TOWN and the lessons he learned from working with Ben Affleck, the adaptation process for various projects like THE BATMAN and THE HUNGER GAMES, his new show DOPE THIEF, and much more. As a special note, this was part of our new LIVE interview series in partnership with Buzztown, a community for serious screenwriters, where students also participated in this interview.

It's time for another Mind Gap Podcast! This week, Doug and Justin figure out what useless, but highly entertaining, survival skill they'd bring to the zombie apocalypse. Once they've fully proven themselves useless, the dorks turn their attention to the main topic: the best fictional jobs…and why they'd suck in real life. They explore jobs such as being a Jedi, a Ghostbuster, a Hogwarts professor, a game show host in the Hunger Games universe, and a few others before ending the discussion with a lightning round.   Things are wrapped up with a new game called Patch Notes: Real Life Edition, where Doug reads out patch notes for real life and Justin has to decide if they're good or if they should be scrapped as garbage.   Check out our YouTube channel where we livestream our new podcast episodes every Tuesday at 8pmCT and our video game stream every Saturday at 8pmCT.

The reality is incomparably worse than the movie.

In this emotional and chaotic episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli sit down for a girly deep dive into Mockingjay Part 1 and Part 2. This isn't your typical plot breakdown—this is a full-on catharsis session about missed moments, emotional damage, and all the bread Peeta should have brought into the arena. The hosts reflect on Katniss's awkward rise as a revolutionary symbol, Gale's war crimes (allegedly), and how Peeta's hijacking storyline was more brutal onscreen than they ever expected.They debate whether the movies needed to be split into two parts, roast the lack of screen time between Katniss and Peeta (again), and fantasize about a Hunger Games x Love Island crossover hosted by Caesar Flickerman. The girls also gush over Effie's upgraded role and surprise kiss with Haymitch, mourn Finnick's rushed and senseless death, and, of course, spiral into laughter and rage over that emotionally cold baby-filled epilogue.Despite their critiques, one thing is clear: these movies still hold up. Whether they're clowning Gale, defending Peeta's every move, or yelling “REAL,” this episode is for the girlies who still haven't emotionally recovered from The Hunger Games.Support the showOur Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thebookfix?utm_source=linktree_admin_sharebecome our Patron ♡ https://www.patreon.com/BookFixbuy us a book ♡ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thebookfixBusiness Inquiries: thebookfixpodcast@gmail.comfollow us on Tiktok! ♡ https://www.tiktok.com/@thebookfix

In this episode of their Hunger Games deep dive, Yajaira and Cheli take on Mockingjay—and they do not hold back. From the rushed character deaths (Finnick deserved a full chapter, not a sentence) to the lack of meaningful dialogue between Katniss and Peeta, the hosts question why the emotional payoff just wasn't there. Katniss choosing Peeta makes sense, but where was the scene where they talked it out? Where was the slow-burn reconnection? And why was Haymitch the only one she seemed to emotionally bond with?

In this episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli continue their Hunger Games deep dive with a chaotic, passionate breakdown of Catching Fire (2013). The episode kicks off with a spirited conversation about bread (or the shocking lack of it from Panem's most famous baker), before diving into everything from sourdough dreams to Peeta's missed opportunities to be a true himbo hero.They reflect on Katniss kissing Gale way too much, Peeta being the ultimate damsel in distress, and all the key moments the movie left out—like the iconic medicinal plant book scene and the loss of Peeta's leg. The girls also demand more vulnerability from Katniss, more strength from Peeta, and more context for why their characters live in fancy houses now.Of course, things derail into talk about dating short kings, catching the ick, workplace cringe, and whether it's even possible to hate a movie that meant so much to them growing up. They may have complaints, but this one still gets a nostalgic 5 out of 5. Snow may be obsessed with their love story, but Yajaira and Cheli are obsessed with this movie.Support the showOur Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thebookfix?utm_source=linktree_admin_sharebecome our Patron ♡ https://www.patreon.com/BookFixbuy us a book ♡ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thebookfixBusiness Inquiries: thebookfixpodcast@gmail.comfollow us on Tiktok! ♡ https://www.tiktok.com/@thebookfix

At least 57 Palestinians seeking aid have been killed and more than 363 injured in Israeli attacks in Gaza since this morning, bringing the total number of Palestinians killed at these so-called "aid distribution centres" to 224, according to Gaza's health ministry. So far, the centres ran by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation have proven to be nothing more than death traps for Palestinians, who have likened their experiences to the movie "The Hunger Games". To discuss all this and more, Ahmed Alnaouq is joined by fellow Palestinian author from Gaza, the Pulitzer prize-winning poet and writer, Mosab Abu Toha.

How do you build a high-performance culture without turning your company into the Hunger Games? Reed Hastings, co-founder and former CEO of Netflix, shares lessons from a career spent rewriting the rules—from severance as a management tool to “big-hearted champions who pick up the trash.” In this episode, he reveals how Netflix scaled trust, made bold bets before the data was in, and kept its edge by treating employees like adults—not assets. You'll hear how Hastings evaluates talent beyond the interview, the reason he avoids performance improvement plans, and what most leaders misunderstand about judgment, feedback, and innovation.  You'll also hear why he placed a $100 million bet on House of Cards with no pilot, how Drive to Survive changed an entire sport, and why Squid Game caught even Netflix by surprise.  Now focused on a new chapter—owning a ski mountain, reshaping education through AI tutors, and supporting charter schools—Hastings is still doing what he does best: building systems that scale culture, not just product.  If you care about performance without politics—or culture without the clichés—this is a blueprint from one of the clearest thinkers in modern business.  Approximate timestamps: Subject to variation due to dynamically inserted ads: (3:09) Powder Mountain, Skiing Industry, & Buying a Mountain (6:36) Setting Culture in an Organization (9:21) Hiring Process and Evaluating Candidates (14:24) Netflix's 2009 Slide Deck Release (16:26) Talent Density and Performance Culture (17:59) Loyalty and Team Building (19:56) Severance Packages (22:17) Process Vs.

Your first chapter has a monumental task: to make potential readers care about your book right away and hook them to keep reading.Every sentence is a chance to earn your reader's attention—or lose their fragile, baby-fresh interest before your story even begins.And that's assuming that your book makes it to the bookstore shelves. If you're traditionally publishing, the first chapter's burdened with even more responsibility. It's your first impression with agents and editors, who will judge whether to consider the full manuscript based on the first five or ten pages alone.The stakes are high.So high, in fact, that it's easy to get stuck—revising and refining your first chapter over and over while the rest of the manuscript gathers dust.So I asked Abigail K. Perry, a fellow editor and book coach, to come help us break out of that trap.“If we don't care about a character, we don't care about what happens to them. . . . Pull us into character and let us understand and get to know them so that when threats are posed against them, we care about what happens.”—Abigail K. PerryYou'll hear:What great first chapters must accomplishWhy mystery is a good thing in first chapters (and info dumps are not)How to make your readers care about your characters in a matter of pages, paragraphs, or even sentencesAnd moreIf you've ever found yourself stuck in a first chapter revision loop, this one's for you.Check out Abigail's “First Chapter Deep Dive” episodes on the books we discussed:The Hunger Games by Suzanne CollinsCatching Fire by Suzanne CollinsMockingjay by Suzanne CollinsRemarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van PeltFourth Wing by Rebecca YarrosHarry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.

In this episode of The Book Fix, hosts Yajaira and Cheli dive headfirst into the cinematic world of The Hunger Games (2012) following their recent reread of the book. They ditch the plot recap to focus instead on the gritty film style, casting choices, and all the small (and not-so-small) differences between book and screen. From the shaky camera work that left them dizzy, to Jennifer Lawrence's stoic portrayal of Katniss, they compare the emotional richness of the book to the movie's more muted tone.The duo gets especially animated over missed opportunities—like Katniss's musical talents being downplayed, Peeta's love being underdeveloped, and the absence of iconic lines like “the boy with the bread.” They also touch on the awkward shift from book's slow-burn romance to the movie's blink-and-you-miss-it kisses. Bonus? An unhinged tangent about types of bread, platform Converse, and Snow's bald-headed crimes.Whether you're team "Gale was unnecessary" or just here to roast the Capitol, this episode is a nostalgic, chaotic tribute to the movie that launched a dystopian generation. And yes—Snow's still a bitch.

In this episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli crack open their reread of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and it's a mix of chaos, nostalgia, and bread-fueled sarcasm. They reflect on the book's most emotional and iconic moments—from Rue's tragic death and Katniss' symbolic rebellion to Peeta's dramatic mud camouflage and the Capitol's twisted game rules. They dive into Katniss' slow emotional processing, the awkward song lyrics, and the lack of dialogue that made this reread feel hollow than they remembered. Still, the themes and structure held strong, even if the romance felt like an act—and not just to the Capitol. Support the showOur Linktree: https://linktr.ee/thebookfix?utm_source=linktree_admin_sharebecome our Patron ♡ https://www.patreon.com/BookFixbuy us a book ♡ https://www.buymeacoffee.com/thebookfixBusiness Inquiries: thebookfixpodcast@gmail.comfollow us on Tiktok! ♡ https://www.tiktok.com/@thebookfix

This week on Born to Watch, we dive headfirst into the bug-infested chaos of Paul Verhoeven's 1997 cult classic, with our Starship Troopers (1997) Review. It's brutal, brilliant, and batshit insane and we wouldn't have it any other way.With the Born to Watch crew all lined up in the co-ed showers, Whitey, Damo, Dan, and special guest Matty Beer Geek go deep (but not too deep) on the movie that was mocked at release but has grown into a beloved sci-fi satire. Is this just a brainless space action flick? Or is it a razor-sharp takedown of fascism and militarism? Or both? Spoiler: it's both.We break down the iconic moments: the ridiculously perfect jawlines of Casper Van Dien and Denise Richards, Michael Ironside chewing scenery like the legend he is, and Jake Busey's teeth doing most of the acting for him. From Zegema Beach to brain bug psychic probes, we cover it all.Expect plenty of laughs as the boys recall their first times watching it, at sweaty cinemas, VHS marathons, and maybe even the odd midnight screening. Plus, some heartfelt debate: Dizzy or Carmen? Would you sign up to be a citizen or sit back and let the bugs win? And yes, we do get very specific about the co-ed shower logistics (spoiler: prep is key).There's also time for a raucous trip down 1997 memory lane. Damo sweats it out in the back row, Dan's off riding dirt bikes through Romania and eating 19 types of salami, and Matty brings his A-game from the West. We revisit the hottest music of the year, the infamous Playboys of McDonald's video rental section, and mourn the box office fate of Starship Troopers. This misunderstood gem lost money but gained a cult following.With a budget that would make even the Federation blush, and CGI bugs that still look better than some 2025 blockbusters, Starship Troopers is pure Verhoeven: provocative, pervy, and politically charged.We also take aim at the critical drubbing this movie received on release, some reviewers clearly didn't get the joke. We shine a light on the film's relevance today: Would the satire hit harder in a post-Hunger Games, post-Fury Road world? Is this what our future looks like if TikTok replaces civics education?In true Born to Watch fashion, we ask the tough questions:Is this Verhoeven's secret masterpiece?Who's worse: Carmen or the bugs?And most importantly, how do you prep for a co-ed shower in boot camp?Whether you're a superfan who's seen it 30 times or a rookie just enlisting in the Mobile Infantry, this episode is for you. So load your Morita rifle, shout “Kill ‘em all!”, and join us as we break down Starship Troopers the only way we know how, boobs, bugs, banter, and all.Because remember: everyone fights. No one quits. And we were Born to Watch.
