   HEATED RIVALRY by Rachel Reid

   WE'RE BACK, BABY! There are a handful of things that can tempt us out of our semi-retirement, and as some of our more recent past coverage has proven, an adaptation of a beloved book or series will always be one of them -- but few IPs could command the devotion HEATED RIVALRY by Rachel Reid (and adapted by Jacob Tierney) has inspired in all of us. Has a mass collective psychosis ever been so fun? We don't think so! We first mentioned HEATED RIVALRY on this podcast back in February of 2022, so it only felt right to bring it back for its own full episode now that the show has made it a literal global sensation. We talk adaptive choices, timey wimey timelines, yearning, our new favorite actors, and, of course, the universal appeal and power of game-changing romance. We don't know when we'll be back, but we definitely will. In the meantime, don't forget to rate and review us on iTunes and everywhere you get your podcasts, and send us an email if you have any burning questions or suggestions! As always, a massive thanks to Djempirical for our incredible music.

   SUNRISE ON THE REAPING by Suzanne Collins

   We did it, y'all! We made it to the end(?) of our Hunger Games deep dive with SUNRISE ON THE REAPING by Suzanne Collins (until the movie release, of course) and the gang is all here! How does one even summarize this book/episode? It was so much more traumatic than I think any of us were expecting, but what a journey. We talk major lore, complex character arcs, trauma, recontextualizing the Hunger Games universe, unending despair, potential movie adaptation choices, more trauma, how President Snow can catch these hands, and yet more despair! Whew. Honestly, we're still not over it. REMINDER: Obvious spoilers for the entire Hunger Games universe, including speculation about the forthcoming movie adaptation of SUNRISE ON THE REAPING. If you haven't read this series yet -- babe, what are you even doing here?? Don't forget to rate and review us on iTunes, and if you have any suggestions for future episodes/books to cover, please don't hesitate to reach out to us via email or DM or carrier pigeon or raven or whatever method you prefer. We love to hear from you, and honestly we have no idea what we want to do next, so we'd love to know what YOU want to hear us talk about! As always, an enormous thanks to DJempirical for our fabulous theme music.

   MOCKINGJAY by Suzanne Collins

   We're back for our final episode covering the original THE HUNGER GAMES trilogy with Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins, as well as the 2014 and 2015 films directed by Francis Lawrence! What a journey! What a time! We talk about the bleak realities of war, trauma and PTSD, the continuing failures of humanity, love triangles (just to mix it up), and more trauma. Is this book a rousing good time? No. Is it exactly as bleak as it should be? Yes. REMINDER: We are in full spoiler-mode for this series, so if you haven't read the books and/or watched the movies and if you don't want to hear us speculate about the forthcoming SUNRISE ON THE REAPING, save this one for another time. Join us next time for the aforementioned SUNRISE ON THE REAPING by Suzanne Collins, and don't forget to rate and review us on iTunes and wherever you get your podcasts. Want more episodes, more consistently? RATE AND REVIEW US <3 (we love you). As always, a huge thank you to Djempirical for our fabulous music.
