As soon as I heard The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes was coming out, I figured it was time to dust off The Hunger Games in preparation. Truly a relic of a bygone YA adaptations era, the Hunger Games series wasn't quite a Twilight but stood out from your Divergents, Maze Runners, etc. I've seen the first three and had no interest in the fourth, but Alan has seen all of em and has even read the books!
Plot (via Wiki):
In The Hunger Games, the Capitol of the nation of Panem forces each of its 12 districts to send a boy and girl tribute between the ages of 12 and 18 to compete in a nationally televised event in which the 'tributes' fight each other to the death until one survivor remains. When Primrose Everdeen is "reaped," her older sister Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) volunteers in her place as tribute to enter the games and is forced to rely upon her sharp instincts and knowledge when she's pitted against highly trained and fierce "tributes" from all of the other districts and has to think quickly on her feet to survive.
In Catching Fire, Katniss and fellow District 12 victor Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson) return home safely after winning the 74th Annual Hunger Games. Winning means that they must leave their loved ones behind and embark on a Victory Tour throughout the districts for a couple of days. Along the way, Katniss senses a rebellion simmering upon the Capitol - one that she and Peeta may have sparked - but the Capitol is still under control as President Snow (Donald Sutherland) prepares for the 75th Hunger Games - the Third Quarter Quell in which past victors will be reaped - that could change Panem forever.
In Part 1 of Mockingjay, Katniss awakes in the complex beneath the supposedly destroyed District 13. Her home, District 12, has been reduced to rubble by the Capitol. Peeta Mellark was kidnapped by the Capitol and is now brainwashed and being held captive by President Snow. Snow wants Peeta to forget everything he had loved about Katniss. At the same time, Katniss also learns about a secret rebellion spreading throughout Panem - a rebellion that places her at the center of attention, and compels her to turn the tables on President Snow.
In Part 2 of Mockingjay, Katniss teams up with her closest friends, Peeta, Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth), and Finnick Odair (Sam Claflin), on the ultimate mission for peace. Together, they leave District 13, to liberate citizens from a war that tears Panem apart more than ever. President Snow becomes obsessed with destroying Katniss Everdeen and everyone and everything she loves. Ahead lie mortal traps, dangerous enemies, and moral choices that will determine the future of millions.

#hungergames #katniss #pita
peeta being a baker just automatically gives him super strength abilities- this works because josh hutcherson just has that look of someone who would knead a MEAN loaf of bread
god youre so right
You could build houses with the gluten that are in his baguettes
I mean he's been working on his cakes for years, he probably worked other muscles too
I mean… this is the same man who can survive Five Nights at Freddy’s
"What a weird pervert" is the funniest thing to say about a man disguised as a rock. Like I don't know why that makes him a pervert but it ABSOLUTELY DOES. Something about it is just too fucked up.
Reminds me of Tobias wearing "The Thing" suit in Arrested Development. "Daddy needs to get his rocks off"
@@matthewmartin1852 Oh my GOD you're SO RIGHT, LMAO! "I'm here to see my little girl. I wanted to show her Daddy's Thing."
It's the implication
I love that the books, I'm pretty sure, just said he covered himself in mud and stuff for camouflage and the movie took that and said "stupid sfx makeup? Perfect"
this is exactly what happened lol. they fucked up a lot of scenes with peeta in the movies
Didn’t they also actually eat the berries in the book? I haven’t read them in like 13 years lmao. I remember them basically dying and waking up on the ship and she doesn’t have scars and what not
@@motionblurofhappy7804if I remember correctly, they got them in their mouths and spit them out but passed out around the time they were being air lifted and woke up after being in the hospital in the ship missing scars and looking flawless
for what it's worth, it is really good makeup. Just uncharacteristically good for a guy who only knows bread like his entire life
@Scrofar that's what I'm saying, it is stupid because it is too good. It makes itself stupid because you have to imagine Peeta, badly injured, taking the time to apply perfect stone makeup to his face
The bit where he instantly somehow gets perfect tree makeup to blend in and hide always makes me lose my mind.
unreal
I always just assumed that he got help from sponsors.
Either it's mud and moss, or he could've received a capsule from a sponsor.
"I have become one with the earth, Katniss."
@@TheRibottoStudios"I used to decorate cakes in the bakery"
What decorations did that poor ass district have that gave him these chameleon abilities?!
In the books, I know what a nerd, the dogs were supposed to be mutations of the tributes. They had their eyes and hair which was disgusting.
oh my god I forgot about that. that was a horrifying visual
That's so much more fun
Yeah I remember being so disappointed watching the movie that they didn’t even try to do that. I must remember how horrible it was for Katniss to have a dog that looked just like Rue try to kill her
@lucygarrett9785 Yeah, and it wouldn't even be that hard to show. Or long.
My brother tried explaining that to me and I didn’t comprehend
2:45 Loved that you called that out. In the books, Katniss was taken back by how normal Cinna looked. As most of the stylists Katniss saw in the past were very dyed, stenciled and surgically altered to the point of absurdity. I always thought Cinna's look was a nice way to signify how he was resistant to certain ideals of the capitol
But he had an earring
part of the reason why it doesnt work as well in the movies is because they had zero plastic surgery crazyness in the capitol until tigress. everyone else just wore flashier outfits
What does that have to do with peta doing tree shit on his arm?
"Most of the third book is Katniss waking up in hospitals."
I mean, you're not wrong.
Katniss becomes a Bleach character
@@dengeliii7088 or Touma from toaru series
What was the point of this comment
Say what you will about these movies, but Stanley Tucci as Caesar Flickerman is peak cinema.
Everyone from the capital was amazing… the district people were basically charisma vacuums - always so sad about being oppressed - no excuse to not smile 💀
@@firstlast9846ikr? Like ur on TV put some effort into ur hairstyle at least 😮💨
There’s no way that’s a real characters name 💀
The Tucc is absolutely elite in these movies. Tucci gang till I die.
Genuinely unbelievable that he's straight in real life
Things that I've learned from these commentary tracks:
1. Creatures = bad
2. Freaks = good
3. Tigers = Let's Go
4 (for me). That there's another Hunger Games book/movie
so true
And GOOOOOOO TIIIGERRS!
“oh he’s gaunt!” “no it’s contouring” is one of the funniest offhand jokes i’ve heard in a PMI video, i had to pause to get the laughter out😭
Eric: "Wait, Haymitch drinks a lot?"
Allen: " *...yeah* ."
A lot is subjective.
"I used to decorate the cakes at the bakery." Did he mainly make cakes that looked like trees? Are makeup and icing the same to work with? Are there many job openings for cake decorators in medieval, dystopian villages???
believe it or not this is the future somehow
the mayor and some of the people in the town government have some money, people from the capitol can order cakes. not saying that the painting scene isn’t absolutely ridiculous LOL in the books he buries himself in the mud by the river not the rocks, but there is a market for cakes in this world
He worked exclusively with brown green and black icing ofcourse
@@ranniwolvespeople from the capitol are ordering their cakes from district 12?
in the book he literally just covered himself in mud, idk why they made it so extra in the movies 😭
“So is there no game anymore? That’s disappointing. I wanna see a game” the Jigsaw in you really jumped out there Eric 😂😂😂
hehehehehe
Now I want to see Slow Ass Motherfuckin' Jeff in the Hunger Games.
@@Avocado11you missed him, he is still deciding what bag to pickup from the centre
Can’t wait to scream “GOOOOOO TIGRIS” while watching the new one in theaters
I need at least a short story of how Tigris separated from Snow and what happened to her after the rebels took over
Her story deadass wasn’t explained at all
“This is is why Kate Winslet did Divergent” is an incredible quote
I'll stand by that Catching Fire is THE best book to movie adaptation out there. And it's a great sequel too that sets the revolution in motion gorgeously. It's amazing they learned from all the errors in the first one and that's in part what made movie 2 so good. I'm still so mad they screwed up the story of her Mockingjay pin.
100% agree. When I rewatched the movies I was genuinely shocked by how good catching fire was. 9/10 honestly. I think the hunger games and the build up to them are better in this one because all of them have been there before so survival isnt as much of a problem which is why they have more threats. Also jack reachers in it.
@jboxy6021 yeah I don't know why the guys were saying it's a repeat as if it were a surprise like. The entire premise is the games are YEARLY. So. Repetition is kind of expected 😅
Not to mention the arena is different, the competitors are different, stakes different, tone different. Less shaky cam thank fck.
Lol have you not heard of lord of the rings? What an absolutely ridiculous opinion
@@bluematter01 she said "adaptation". Lord of the rings is very faithful but not as faithful as the hunger games (at least the first two). Quality as well as faithfulness is taken into account when talking about how good an adaptation is. Not saying they're better but just saying where this statement might've come from.
@@TheRibottoStudios Eh, still wished Haymitch would have teamed up with Katniss instead of Peeta
*The thought of Peter* just having been stabbed and running for his life from a group of killers… and they’re all like “Where is he?” And he’s just frantically painting himself to look like a rock 8 meters away.. only for other tributes to probably step on him as they run around the arena is hilarious.
@stmsin - no it’s Peter.. I read the book 29 times .. he even says his name is “Peter” when he’s training with Kathleen.
@@firstlast9846I think that person means it's spelt "peeta" but I get what u mean regardless
@@firstlast9846KATHLEEN 💀
@@yetti5431 activated the trap card
If Peeta lived in our world, he would do these realistic cakes on Netflix NO DOUBT
"Where's lover boy?"
"He's the grass."
"👁👄👁"
the second movie being all stars all winners absolutely ate like snow kinda popped off with that
I want Eric to know that the scene of Finnick drinking water from the tree has been made into SO many ‘sexy’ tiktoks because the girlies think he’s so hot
Didn't know this
"Jack Quaid got Jack Slayed" I DIED 😂
The Backstreet Boys bit at 15:27 is now my favorite example of how comedy comes in threes
The dude that randomly touched Katniss at the party, in the books Snow SOLD winners to capitol citizens, so that guy was probably one of the 'buyers'
oof
Sold for what exactly? Servitude? Sex? It's been a whilte since I've read the books so I've forgotten
@@-Siknakaliux-IIyeah, sex. finnick talks about it in the third film too
@@alyosha864”hey wanna buy this person that has proven to be a remorseless killer that could murder you 20 times over in your sleep?”

“Me at the worst new years eve party ever” made me inhale sprite
Holy shit I forgot Mike from the hit 2023 film "Five Nights at Freddy's" was in this
Enough
“walking live laugh love pillow”
May be one of the best things I’ve ever heard out of Eric’s mouth.
the movie makes her shooting coin so obvious. in the book it was such a shock
I didn’t finish the book. Was it better? I didn’t like this movie’s ending in any way really.
@@somethingsuperbland8829 i mean the endings are pretty similar from what i recall. i think it still upset a lot of people but i like it
Book was WAY more shocking, though the dialogue was the same, in the movie it's frustratingly more obvious because it doesn't seem like she still hates Snow as much as she still does in the book and Coin was a close friend, she essentially ruined everything with her execution.
@@tuxegirls that’s fair. I think by that point I just fizzled out and didn’t care anymore
Honestly so true. I had to reread that part multiple times because it was so shocking
“Katniss, Peeta this is..”
“PHILLIP SEYMOUR HOFFMAN IS IN THIS”
The timing and edit i love it
The way you guys are just screeching through some of the saddest scenes ever 😭😭
welcome to pmi 😌
Lmfao
Ever?? 😂
Yes, this was targeted to 13 year old girls when this movie came out, I was one of them. And yes, that’s what we thought about Sam Claflin 😂
NAILED IT
If only they didn’t split that last one into 2 😭 probably would’ve been remembered as a SUPERB trilogy
The last movie would've been long as shit anyway because the last book was so dense lol
@@oo4758it was just as long as the first two it could've been a solid 2h 40 min movie
@@oo4758i'd rather one 3 hour masterpiece than two 2 hour slogs
@@littleredruri it wouldnt have been a 3 hours masterpiece lmao. It would have been a slog too.
People hate on the 3rd one but I honestly don’t think it’s bad…slow but not bad 😂
The “storming the Capitol” jokes caused me to laugh so hard I almost choked on the food I was eating.
what were you eating
@@PrettyMuchIt pasta salad.
nice
@@PrettyMuchIt if I ever die choking on food watching a PMI video, I’m legally obligated to say as my last words “that’s pretty much it”.
Thank you for the Pita joke…I feel like people don’t talk about the bread baker boy being named after literal bread nearly enough.
They never do say the names of the rest of his family but in my head they are all named after bread too like “Hi I’m Ciabatta, the baker. Please meet my wife, Pumpernickel, and my sons, Pita, Rye, and Croissant.”
I love how the commentary for mockingjay pt1 is like a minute
I’m so sorry but I’m die hard for THG this is the most anticipated commentary from you and I love it
REAL!!!!
I’m not kidding this has been my most anticipated reaction for years. Feeling so blessed rn.
hell yeah hope you enjoy!
The Mediterranean joke may have been the best “cuz we brought peeta”
"This is my second favorite time that anybody has ever stormed the Capitol."
I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY PREDICTED IT
I haven’t laughed as hard as I have at “its a cat faced woman” “WHAT THE F IS THAT. you can’t just say it’s a cat faced woman” “GOOOO TIGRIS” in so long thank you
I would love to see Haymitch’s hunger game. There were 47 other kids and he was 16.
Your reaction to peeta painting his face like a rock had my in hysterics
Despite winning Oscar’s and being known for bigger project, I always refer to Mahershala Ali as “that guy from The Hunger Games” lol
I remember losing my mind in the theater for catching fire when the aspect ratio changed as she entered the arena
"What are you going to just jump out of the vent and storm the Capitol?"
HOW DID THEY KNOW?!?!
“Was this the hottest thing they’d ever seen in their lives?” Yes, yes it was
“He got moonlit” I’m fucking crying
2:27
"This is the future Liberals want" lmao
I totally forgot Mr Quaid was in this. On a side note has anyone done an edit of him throwing the spear and it panning over to rue and the boys logo pops up
goodness the scene of peeta being a tree truly horrifies me to this day.
so cursed
"The sludge has wires, watch out!" has me dead!!
Peeta shoulda been jacked from the waist up in the movies. He got 16 years of good food & lifted sacks of flour all day.
yall doing divergent would probably be hilarious
My little sister put the Hunger Games on at my parents house for Thanksgiving and lemme tell ya, calling Liam the 'lesser Hemsworth' got a chuckle out of my sixty-something dad, which is high praise.
Isnt it called The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Ice and Fire and Snakes and Toil and Trouble?
Wait what
Future Movie Concept: Mahershala Ali returns for the new Hunger Games prequel and they call it "The Blade of Songbirds and Snakes"
not bad
That's what they made the new Blade script into, which is why he had a problem with it.
Can we establish that peeta invented the realistic cake trend
Wait really?
The amount of times you’ve been able to reference “Go Tigers!” In your commentaries is insane lmao.
I think my favorite running gag to this day though is that Jim Hopper is actually Hellboy in Stranger Things 😂
Honestly, I think about this all the time now because of PMI. There's tigers and tiger print in
e v e r y t h i n g
14:57, Oh dear. You spoke up it's name and now you have to do Divergent.
Divergent: the RC Cola of the teen hearth-throb quadrillages.
I never saw the second Mockingjay movie BECAUSE of that stairs scene, I'm epileptic and being in a dark theatre with the lights flashing caused me to have a seizure and all I remember after the stairs is leaving the theatre lol
Eric so excited about them running up the stairs as they are actually running down the stairs lol
CLOSE ENOUGH
Cinematic hard on am I right
the fact that you mention girls going crazy about the tree water scene i saw a tiktok of girls freaking out watching it a couple days ago
Calling someone being bonked over the head w a metal object “getting moonlit” is really something special
i KNEW the johnny depp joke was gonna make it in the highlight vid. couldn’t be happier!
Did anyone else's English teacher try to convince them Peta was named after Pita bread cause he's a baker?
I mean he is, most of the characters are named after stuff from their district. Katniss is named after a plant in the woods since her father was a woodsman, prim after a flower, characters from the 1st district are named glimmer, gloss, cashmere, etc…
if by convince you mean explain, then yes.
hahahaha I lost it when it got to the finnick drinking from the tree scene
"Peta, i cant see you"
"... I'm in the cake"
"Oooooh"
You have made my year by uploading this I hope you know that
I'VE BEEN SAYING, it would have been SOOO much more interesting to see Haymitch in the arena! Like I get why it had to be Peeta, but still
My birthday was yesterday and I couldn't imagine a better gift than getting a full Hunger Games movie marathon video from PMI!
happy belated bday!!
as someone who was literally a 13 year old girl when this movie came out, the Sam Claflin tree scene was in fact the hottest thing I had ever seen at that point in my life
When Harry Potter set the trend of spitting the last book into two films, at least they used that to their advantage. Yes more money was made and they could extend the series past 7 films but they put all the story and set up in the first part so the second part can be full on action packed and give the big climactic fight the full force that it needed. When Hunger Games did it, the really went "Let's do nothing in the first part and more nothing in the second part" rather than splitting action and story, they just stretched out the story to 4 hours. What a waste of time the Hunger Games franchise was
Man I love the first two and Mockingjay pt2 but pt1 was unnecessary
Yeah it’s quite jarring how insanely good Catching Fire was, especially that cliff hanger ending, only to follow it up with the dullest thing ever
Whenever I think about these movies I remember everyone being mad that Rue was black (she was very obviously black in the books as well) and specifically the tweet where someone said that they had a harder time being sad about her dying because she was black. What a lovely time to be a little black girl on the internet lol
Holy shit someone really said they had a harder time being sad about her dying???? Ugh guess that shouldn’t surprise me but goddamn that’s truly upsetting.
I don’t remember people talking about Rue’s casting but I do remember some people being kinda upset with Jennifer Lawrence/a blonde white woman being cast as Katniss. In the books she describes herself with olive skin and dark hair so I get how people may interpret that as non-white but idk it’s ambiguous enough for Hollywood to get away with casting a white person I guess lol.
Every time the late night show thing comes on I just think "So...Peetah, a little birdy told me you do a great Chewbacca impression"
"This guy's a walking 'Live Laugh Love' pillow"
Damn, I had to pause the video for a minute just to get over that.
The lesser Hemsworth is poor Luke
I'm pretty sure Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson said that there's a chance that they could be siblings! I think they even said that they wanted to do a DNA test just to find out.

i think we're actually mostly positive! but we do indeed bully some of em... welcome and enjoy!!
@@PrettyMuchIt oh yeah i definitely meant it in a fun way lmao
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The books are some of my favourite books I’ve ever read and 23 year old me loves them as much as 11 year old me. I think they’re a fantastic way to get children introduced to big ideas such as hidden dictatorship and political revolution. They explore disability, class divisions, and police and military brutality in a way that don’t talk down to their demographic.
…the films made us choose between “team Peeta” and “team Gael” and gave us a Subway promotional tie-in
I remember absolutely despising the ending of the second part because she gets knocked out as soon as things get interesting and then they start explaining a far better, game changing finale that we never actually saw.
as a former 13 year old girl, yes, the tree scene was the greatest ten seconds of my life
You know what’s funny about Peta that I never thought of. Camouflage definitely already exists and it takes about 1 minute to put on. Also you can Move while wearing camo lol.
11:41 me who was a 13yo girl when catching fire came out.. yes. 😅
I knew I needed to change my life when I saw the 4th one in theaters and laughed so loud when Primm got blown the fuck up. It was so unexpected and the timing was perfect. I CLAPPED.
"most of the 3rd book is her waking up in the hospital" 💀
“What was the demographic for this movie 13 year old girls?” Yes sir it was 😂 and I loved every second of it 😂
"Secretary of sleet, if I may"
damn i may have to buy these, this is like by far the funniest hunger games commentary ive seen.
Lmfao u should see RT TV 's reaction to this series especially the first film LMFAO. I laughed so hard to their reaction to that
“Mathew McConaughey and Owen Wilson”, had me on the floor dude. 😂
4 films in 20 minutes is impressive
"This is why Kate Winslet did Divergent" took me out
“This is my moms favorite part of the academy awards” 😂😂😂
I didn’t know Johnny Deap was in this made me laugh so loud 😂😂😂
the moment eric said ‘he got moonlit’ i said ‘he got green booked’ 😭💀
