Nearly a decade after the release of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 and the end of Katniss’s’s’ story, The Hunger Games are BACK, with an a kind-of-all-new tale about everyone’s least favorite tyrannical President, Corialanus Snow.

The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes definitely raises some questions. Like did they set out to make the longest title possible? How many times do they say Lucy Gray’s name and how many times does she sing? Are we rooting for the guy that runs the kids-killing-each-other competition? Why does this movie feel like two movies?

To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes!

    "He sentences him to 20 years of being Eminem" That was solid.
  • @Mina-hm2og
    "How to make a child murderer sympathetic? Make him handsome". Ouch, that is so accurate it hurt.
  • @Flipitmixit
    4:19 The fact that there was a whole movie after the movie was insane😂
  • @OrigamiShinigami
    "We are SO expendable, my dude! Hold me" "I'M IN!" That got me. Good sign for the episode
  • @Bizarro69
    "you've got a movie for me?" "Hitler, but young, and HOT." - an actual pitch meeting 10 years from now probably.
  • @Nabo42
    "There's still about an hour left though." You know someone in the audience had this realization while watching the movie and wept a little.
  • @sloreo8278
    "About 6 more times than feels comfortable" is way too accurate. I consistently flipped between 'yah this is a decent movie' and 'was this produced by Disney'. Her singing was good but felt so out of place.
  • "So he sentences him to twenty years of being Eminem." Priceless! Thanks, Ryan, for another Pitch Meeting and more good laughs!
  • @vonwux
    The most effective rat poison to ever exist - Said with the enthusiasm of someone working in the naming things department!
  • @What.99
    “Now every fart sounds like a secret.” That killed me lmao.
  • @Spence_721
    “That’s a good point no one’s ever happy.” I was not ready for that accurate statement.
  • @lilvenom7876
    “Lucy Grey I’ll try to remember that” “Don’t worry sir you won’t have too because theirs gonna say her name 10,000 times” Lmao couldn’t be more spot on with that
  • @sonofvergil
    Watching a Pitch Meeting for a movie you didn't even know came out is TIGHT!
  • @sob160
    "Surviving because of how much you smell is tight." Well said. May The Stench Be Ever in Your favor!
  • @user-kr4ly3fu6w
    In the book, he didn't provide her with the poison. He gave her the compact. She got the rat poison from the zoo where the tributes were being held. He gave her the idea, but not the poison.
  • @jenwil2875
    Yes! Thank you! They said "lucy gray" like a 100 times in the movie!
  • This was the first movie I've ever seen where I genuinely wasn't sure what was supposed to be happening during the climax, or why things were even happening
  • @MyBiPolarBearMax
    “Coral anus” is a great joke but getting surgery sponsored by unesco is an even better one 😂
  • That "Oh my god what?" moment when they mention that the movie still had about an hour to it was my exact response when the film dragged on. It felt like that whole "Lucy Gray surviving the snakes while singing thing" was super climactic only for the tension to just flatten out afterwards until the film ended. I understand that this is pretty much how the book also went, but that's also the reason why film adaptations are "adaptations". A visual medium requires a more compact type of storytelling than a written medium.
  • @Holy_Jolteon
    During the movie, i never did understand any of Snow's motives. For instance, one second, he turns in his "friend," and the next, he looks shocked that he was killed.
