Gary Ross brought the YA-sensation penned by Suzanne Collins to the big screen but made some fundamental changes to the story’s scope in the process. In episode 292, Luke & James discuss an expanding POV, a cave scene with less heat, a Taylor Swift soundtrack for the ages, worldbuilding details lost to a shaky camera, Jennifer Lawrence vs Katniss Everdeen, and analyze a desaturated look from a specific time in movies. They finish by casting their votes on which was better: the book or the movie!
