Happy Hunger Games lads. To celebrate the release of the new hunger games movie, we look back on literary giant and feminist icon Katniss Everdeen. Her strength, compassion, empathy, resourcefulness and ultimately why she challenges what it means to be a hero in a high stakes narrative.

Willy Wonka: Just Because The Candyman Can, Doesn't Mean He Should (with Two Asian Blokes!)
Come with me, and you'll be, in a whole of chaotic conversation. Danh and Thavy have once again graced us with their God-like presence and with them they have brought the spirit of Willy Wonka himself! Together the four of us discuss the characterisation and general madness of the original Roald Dahl book Wonka, Wilder's 1971 Wonka, Depp's 2005 Wonka and the future Chalamet 2023 Wonka!! We fawn over the filmmaking of the original movie, become thoroughly educated by Rhiannon on why we should give the 2005 version a chance and come to the very intellectual conclusion that just because the candyman can, doesn't mean he should.

The Glee Character Draft: Who Would Win in a Fight?
Do you ever lie awake at night wondering which characters from the hit musical television show Glee would win in a 'fight to the death' scenario? Well do I have the episode for you. Based on The Movie Draft tm, invented by my parents Sean and Amanda from The Big Picture podcast, Rhiannon and Margaret each pick 5 characters from the show Glee to be on their teams which will then fight to the death. They must both justify why their picks are incredibly skilled fighters, leaders or just filthy rich and why they would therefore make up an unstoppable team. Who will take obvious picks like Sue Sylvester and Sebastian Smyth first? and how obscure are these idiots willing to go to prove their embarrassingly extensive knowledge of the show?
