Spoiler Alert: We talk about... well, all the Hunger Games movies again, to some extent but specifically about Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. We recorded this in January so forgive outdated references.

🎬 We’re back in Panem, y’all to wrap up our commentary on the Hunger Games movies—and this time with Aurie joins us for a bit 😍

We’re diving deep into The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes—talkin’ all things Coriolanus Snow (yes, that guy 😒), the mysterious Lucy Gray 🎤🐍, and the wild world of the early Hunger Games.

Expect chaotic takes, character debates, Aurie's coughing and maybe a few “huh?” moments as we try to figure out what actually makes Snow tick 🧠💀 and where Lucy Gray really stands in all this.

🍿 So grab your snack stash, settle in, and get ready for some fun convo, fresh perspectives, and a few laughs along the way.

You might even see the Hunger Games universe a little differently by the end… or not. Either way—we got thoughts! 😆

✌🏿 Hey everyone, and happy holidays—whatever you celebrate this time of year! 🎄✨

Life has been life-ing, so no new episode this week. Instead, we’re bringing you a remastered re-release of the episode about our whirlwind travel chaos from December 2022. 🌀✈️ You might remember a certain airline (we won’t name names, but y’all know who we mean) having some major issues around that time... yep, we got caught in that mess. 😤

Our travel experience included:

And, of course, this trip included Dad’s parents and brother, so we were extra motivated to salvage the journey. 💪🏿💼

In this episode, we also:

Big shoutout to United Airlines ✈️ for coming through in the clutch to get four exhausted people to the happiest place on Earth. 🙌🏿And another shoutout to Enterprise Car Rental 🚗 for saving the day with those rental cars!

Part 2 of our summer shenanigans is here! 

We’re catching up on some Japan details we missed in Part 1, giving you the highlights from our Hawaii trip 🌺, and sharing Yani’s first gymnastics qualification for Nationals in Minneapolis (aka Gymnastics City 2024)!  Yani also recounts her hilarious battle with what she swears was food poisoning. 😂 Plus, with Aurie stepping into a guest star role, Yani and Dad drop some hints about the next episode—let’s just say, an Academy of Umbrellas might be involved! ☂️🎓 But don’t worry—you haven’t heard the last of Aurie! 😉

Stay tuned for Part 2, where we’ll dive into what the rest of us were up to while Aurie was exploring Japan—think beach vibes in Hawaii 🌺—and our trip to Minneapolis, home of Gymnastics City USA 2024! 

Oh, and here’s a heads-up: Aurie’s stepping back as a regular co-host after this series, but she’ll still pop in now and then. Don’t worry—you haven’t heard the last of her! 😉

SPOLIER ALERT:  This episode has discussion about the most recent 4 Planet of the Apes movies.

In this episode, we discuss Ghostbusters Afterlife and Ghostbusters Frozen Empire.  Why?  Because Dad and Yani enjoyed them and wanted to talk about them. Aurie did not so she sat this one out.  A discussion about the real meaning of “Good/Bad Movies” happens.  Dad is also rusty at this podcasting thing and Yani points it out.  Yani gives an impressive and detailed analysis of which movie she likes the most.  Dad also goes on a zombie, Hunger Games, and Star Ware tangent for reasons but somehow, he ties it back to the topic at hand.  It feels good to be back….”casting makes us feel good…”.
