ABOUT THIS EPISODE

The revolution will be televised. Join BookWatch as we return to Panem in this epic two part conclusion of The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins with the final installment, Mockingjay and its two part film adaptation. This week’s episode covers the 2014 film Mockingjay: Part 1. Which picks up right after the end of Catching Fire and goes until about half way through the book. Special guest J Scotty St Clair returns to help us remind the Capitol that if we burn, you burn with us.

Join hosts Chris, Jordyn, and Sarah-Daye as they break down what worked, what didn’t, and whether this adaptation does the book justice.
