The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes

Yeah.

So, Jules, you brought up something that I never caught because I didn't read The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

I did watch the movie, though.

And frankly, that movie was forgettable.

In Mockingjay, after the bombing of 13, Snow has the red and pink roses dropped in the rubble as a message for Katniss and Katniss says the sickeningly sweet smell hits my nose and my heart begins to hammer against my chest so I didn't imagine it the rose on my dresser before me lies snow's second delivery Katniss also describes the fog after it seems depressive against glass as have taken on a, quote, pearly white quality.

In the Ballad of Songbird and the Snakes, when Lucy Gray is asked about her mother, if she's still back in 12, she responds, just her bones, darling, just her pearly white bones.

And in Sunrise on the Reaping, after Hamish finds what's left of Ampert, quote, Ampert's been swallowed up by the Capitol and his coffin will hold only these pearly white bones.

16 for both Catching Fire and Mockingjay, and 17 for Ballad.

Let's get it, Ballad!

I'm

very interested to see how Soder shakes out here.

Is that crazy?

The most memorable thing was the shape of the phone.

In the trailer? It was like when in Ballad.

Uh...

Um, and then, uh, yeah, coming in close at number two is The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

Yep.

Um, golly, dude, um, ugh.

Yeah, The Hunger Games, Catching Fire, Mockingjay.

Yeah.

And then The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes.

Yeah.

... to see her growth.

Because I did see some reviews that were like, "Why do I need to see, like, a woman trying to, like, fix a man in this, like, current political climate?" And I can kinda see that, but I do think this, like, succeeds where I think Suzanne Collins in, like, "The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes," like, failed because-

Yes

... like, you do get, like, those n- I felt like it made sense why he was the way he was, whereas in-
