We did it! Christy and Phil made it to “Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret.” and… thoughts were divided. But, we liked it! We liked it.

Is it weird that Christy and Phil don’t have a whole lot of strong feelings about “Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret.”? Also, this book title has punctuation, which just throws everything way off.

A few years back, Suzanne Collins wrote a prequel to The Hunger Games and… no one seemed to care. Was it good? Bad? Somewhere in between? Will it answer a bunch of question we never thought to ask? The answers to all these questions and MORE, this week as Pizza Toast sings along to “The […]

How does Ben Folds fit into the Hunger Games universe? He doesn’t! But, we wish he did! Hey, guess what? “The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1?” Good movie!
