Welcome to Reel Review! This is where Zoe helps answer the question, "Should I see this?" and invites you into a deeper conversation about the story's themes and message.
This episode covers the Hunger Games' prequel, "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes" which is a very long and poetically-on-the-nose title. Originally, Zoe was not planning on seeing the film, but after getting requests to cover it, she decided to do the review. She shares her thoughts on the main actors, Tom Blyth as Young Snow and Rachel Zegler as Lucy Gray Baird, and how this story adds to the Hunger Games world...
In Reel 2, Zoe will deep dive into her confusion surrounding the characters and story, and an overview of the themes within the Hunger Games franchise itself...
