"Tucci Gang" | The Hunger Games and Catching Fire Movies

"When we said the Hutcherssance, we were there. We were ready for it to take off."


You asked for hot takes and boy, do you get them in this episode. Kellie, Daphne, and special guest and verified Hunger Games expert Camille sit down to discuss two of our favorite book-to-film adaptations of all time: The Hunger Games (2012) and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire (2013). Daphne gives a presentation on promotional movie tie-in products, and we list many things that we are and are not fans of.

Lockhart's 2014 novel, We Were Liars, and we have a lot to say about it.

  • "Sponsored by Oreo" | Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda

    “The tilt a whirl…the most romantic ride at the carnival.”Happy Pride! We’re celebrating by reading one of the most popular coming-out stories not only of the 2010s, but maybe ever? It’s Becky Albertalli’s 2015 debut novel, Simon vs. The Homo Sapiens Agenda. If that title’s not ringing any bells for you, this is the book that would go on to become the 2018 film Love, Simon. Daphne and Kellie talk all things teen romance, theater kid culture, and our own high school experiences as we dive into Simon’s sweet and salty love story.Becky Albertalli’s Medium post: https://medium.com/@rebecca.albertalli/i-know-im-late-9b31de339c62Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and behind-the-scenes details!

    "Their calling is to go work in the Cheeto factory."We're back with our second episode on The Host by Stephenie Meyer (2008)! Kellie and Daphne pick up from that dramatic Walter cliffhanger to take on the love square, body swaps, and low-stakes heists of the back half of the book, and I accidentally say "conclave" instead of "enclave" because we recorded this during new pope week!The Host playlist (not annotated): https://stepheniemeyer.com/the-books/the-host/the-host-playlist/The Host bonus chapter is very hard to find.
