SHHG! Episode 16: I Know (?)
Added 2023-10-07 14:00:05 +0000 UTCCatching Fire chapters 7-9
We start this week with another music game, with another unexpected twist! Plus, an update on all things strings and Neopets. Then we've got three exciting chapters to cover as the rebellion in District 12 starts heating up--or maybe doesn't, depending on who last spoke to Katniss. We chat about some of the great character development, the slightly silly worldbuilding, and try to figure out just where all this is going... and if that's another Hunger Games!

Isn't there a Regina Spektor song on that album? She is very much not Christian, I believe she is Jewish.

2023-10-13 18:06:27 +0000 UTCI had the Pokemon 2000 album like that! My friend had the one for the original Pokemon movie. Fortunately neither one of us were trying to get the actual score, although as an early fan of TCM movie musicals I remember being annoyed not all the songs were on certain albums. Maybe the target demo with the "inspired by" albums are kids/teens? I remember assuming they must have been cut songs or "written for the credits."

2023-10-10 23:53:54 +0000 UTCAnother thing I'll say: Gale's flightiness seems reflective of the series' liberal attitudes about politics and its general suspicion towards anyone who is a conscious political actor. I think the series is like 80% of the way to having its heart in the right place, but there are some really noticeable limitations in Susanne Collins' worldview.

2023-10-10 12:41:03 +0000 UTCwhen you were talking about other responses to "i love you" all i could think of is the otherside picnic novels, where the main character just keeps responding to her love interest saying that with things like "yeah, yeah, let's keep going" and "thank you" and so on until the rest of the cast has to ask if she knows she's gay or not

That bad boy saw so much traction in the Disney AMV scene (real heads know…)

2023-10-07 20:46:55 +0000 UTCI am starting to get really fed up with the lack of Prim being a real character. She has had maybe two lines in this whole book despite Katniss using her to justify everything from fleeing to the revolution. It just makes me want Prim to actually have a personality and opinions about what Katniss should do instead of Katniss always trying to assume her best interest all the time. It is probably the weakest point for the book for me right now (im reading along and i literally have no memory of the rest of CF)
