    Episode 10: Paylor for Prez

    Welcome back to Adlib, and to our final episode covering The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins! In this episode we will be focusing on Mockingjay, the final installment in the series. We share our opinions covering both film adaptations (Part 1 and Part 2) and discuss both the text & media depictions of the series as a whole. Did the final two movies give us the conclusion we deserved? Was the decision to split the story into two films just a cash cow? How did this adaptation rank compared to its predecessors? And also, why do we hate Gale? You will have to listen to find out  Follow our socials if you like what you hear and rate our show wherever you get your podcasts!

    Episode 9: Team Finnick

    Happy Quarter Quell and welcome to Adlib's first ever sequel episode! This episode will cover both the novel and film adaptation of Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins—a book that singlehandedly defied second book syndrome and continues to stand out in our eyes as the perfect sequel. We'll discuss the main differences in where last book left off versus where this one picks up, specifically touching on how both the plot & the power imbalances imbedded within continue to shape Collins' world, revealing to readers a Panem poisoned by greed and grudges. Also, we get to talk about Finnick in this one. What could be better? Follow our socials if you like what you hear and rate our show wherever you get your podcasts!
