Hi guys, just to let you know, this is part two of a conversation.

I began with Tracy Thomas last week about the Hunger Games prequels.

This episode covers off Sunrise on the Reaping.

It's also, it's really part of a three-parter that began in May when we did the Hunger Games original series.

So please, if you haven't heard the other ones, go back and listen, especially

if you're Hunger Games fan. They really are a real treat. Okay, on with the show.

So we've spoken about Sunrise and the Reaping quite a lot actually throughout this. So maybe it's just best to

highlight scenes and bits that we love the most. I mean, what's good is that it has a less

complicated storyline, which is that, and like, because if you've read Catching Fire, you know

the story already, kind of, which is that Hamich was in the second quarter quail.

It was a games where they reaped twice the number of tributes.

He is, he ultimately wins it by using the force field against itself.

And that is a big part of his thing.

And that's what we've done all along.

And so I would say that Sondrise and the Reaping,

there is far less plot than there is in Ballet,

but there's a lot more depth of character, I would say.

What were the parts of it that struck you most

that we haven't spoken about already, obviously?

Well, I think, like, Hamish as a character,

because we know him as sort of this, like,

curmudgeonly drunk.
