Mockingjay Part 1 & 2 (2015) | Book Flix #6

In this emotional and chaotic episode of The Book Fix, Yajaira and Cheli sit down for a girly deep dive into Mockingjay Part 1 and Part 2. This isn’t your typical plot breakdown—this is a full-on catharsis session about missed moments, emotional damage, and all the bread Peeta should have brought into the arena. The hosts reflect on Katniss’s awkward rise as a revolutionary symbol, Gale’s war crimes (allegedly), and how Peeta's hijacking storyline was more brutal onscreen than they ever expected.

They debate whether the movies needed to be split into two parts, roast the lack of screen time between Katniss and Peeta (again), and fantasize about a Hunger Games x Love Island crossover hosted by Caesar Flickerman. The girls also gush over Effie’s upgraded role and surprise kiss with Haymitch, mourn Finnick’s rushed and senseless death, and, of course, spiral into laughter and rage over that emotionally cold baby-filled epilogue.

Despite their critiques, one thing is clear: these movies still hold up. Whether they’re clowning Gale, defending Peeta’s every move, or yelling “REAL,” this episode is for the girlies who still haven’t emotionally recovered from The Hunger Games.
