Welcome to The Rad Wrap: a series on series, where Kylie and Elliott explore films with a common thread. In this episode, they re-enter the Hunger Games before heading out to the theatre for the prequel, practicing their Mockingjay whistles the whole time. This is a spoiler episode! (Spoilers for the newest film are kept until the time stamp below.) Along the way, they appreciate the politics of the series, discuss the cost of being part of the collective, debate the practice of splitting a film into two parts, and get a crush on a new boy.

The films in the series are: The Hunger Games (2012), Catching Fire (2013), Mockingjay - Part 1 (2014), Mockingjay - Part 2 (2015), and The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023).
