Popcorn Culture - Review: The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes

Based on the book of the same name, this prequel to the phenomenally successful Hunger Games franchise tells the story of 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow (Tom Blyth), years before he becomes the dictator of Panem. Snow is assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird (Rachel Zegler) from District 12 as the 10th annual Hunger Games quickly approaches. We discuss The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes and how it adds to the Hunger Games mythos, filling the shoes of pop culture icon Katniss Everdeen, and whether we'd like to see more movies from the dystopian districts of Panem.
