01:08:30|"Two things I love: you and cheating."We're back and rejoined by special guest and Ballad movie superfan Mara to cover the most recent movie in The Hunger Games series, The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (2023). Unlike the book episode, we're all on the same page with this one--it's a shockingly good adaptation and valued addition to the franchise. We discuss how this movie got made, changes from the book, and our inner fangirls coming out in a big way for this one.Movie location breakdown: https://movie-locations.com/movies/h/ballad-of-songbirds-and-snakes.phpMara’s socials: @maras_storiesMara's podcast: @no_beta_podcastFollow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and behind-the-scenes details!
