It's a new season, which means a new book, and what better way to start it off than with Mal's favorite series, The Hunger Games (but only the prequel). In this hilarious yet insightful episode, we dissect the first nine chapters of "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes," where we unearth some wild theories about Dean Highbottom's secret life as a rebel ringleader in the Capitol. Mal occasionally breaks into spontaneous song, Paige theorizes and compares to the 74th Hunger games, and Ariel details of the book with the movie that just hit theaters.

We'll draw some eyebrow-raising connections between the 74th Hunger Games and the real world, sparking debates that might just have you questioning everything you knew about Panem. Plus, don't miss our off-the-wall comparison of Lucy Gray Baird to... wait for it... the Goat from Hoodwinked!

So, grab your favorite snack, get comfy, and join us for an episode filled with snarky humor, insightful discussion, and maybe a little bit of singing (courtesy of Mal). It's going to be a wild ride through the districts!

Hosts: Mal Nicholson, Paige Parks, and Ariel Landry
