“Delivering Tropes People Love” ITF Read: The Hunger Games (2008 Novel)

Suzanne Collins returns to the big screen this fall with “The
Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes", but it’s worth taking a look
back at the book that started the phenomenon: THE HUNGER GAMES.
In episode 291, Luke & James debate utopian fiction vs.
dystopian fiction, dive into the “Battle Royale” controversy,
learn about “Just War” theory, react to love triangles that work,
and the value of Mary Sues, then head for the cornucopia just in
time for Thanksgiving. Join them next week when they react to the
film adaptation directed by Gary Ross!
