Aaron Alexander & Andrew Gordon dive into The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 (2015), the epic conclusion to Suzanne Collins’ YA dystopian saga, directed by Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend, Catching Fire). This high-stakes finale follows Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence – Silver Linings Playbook, American Hustle) as she leads the rebellion against the tyrannical President Snow (Donald Sutherland – Ordinary People, Pride & Prejudice). Joined by Gale Hawthorne (Liam Hemsworth – The Last Song, The Expendables 2) and Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson – Bridge to Terabithia, The Kids Are All Right), Katniss and her team infiltrate the Capitol in a desperate attempt to end Snow’s reign. Mockingjay Part 2 is packed with iconic and highly searched moments: the infiltration of the Capitol with “pods” and deadly traps, the shocking wedding of Finnick and Annie, the heartbreaking deaths of key allies, and the explosive final confrontation between Katniss and President Snow that cements her as the Mockingjay. The powerful closing scenes, including Katniss’ decision regarding Coin and the bittersweet epilogue with Peeta and their children, make this one of the most memorable finales in YA film history.

If you could drop us a five-star rating, we would also appreciate that as well. We're going to jumpstart this review with your questions over on the Patreon or Royal Reject, so let's get right into it. All right, starting off with Maurice Gray. junior, were you as surprised as I about Prim? Beyond that was the ending what you
Starting point is 00:02:34 expected. Hmm. I can't say that it's what I was expecting per se. I had to imagine that there would be no more Hunger Games after this, but I wholly did not expect her to kill off President Coyne. That said, the stuff with Prim, I was definitely surprised by, and at first I was a little disappointed by the fact that there was no reaction from catness because that was the whole thing she went to the Hunger Games for in the first place but that scene afterwards with uh her cat was a buttercup
Starting point is 00:03:07 buttercup yeah uh and she was just like crying and angry and just like grieving yeah that that was very necessary yeah so i'm happy we got this is very complex and emotional and very visceral so i'm glad we got if we didn't get that i would have been like what's the whole point of all this and i think too like the biggest thing too besides not expecting it to permit it happened so abruptly so i wouldn't say i was shocked that someone important and integral to the story died because it's a very it's a dystopian future and anything can happen the stakes are always high it's the finale yeah it's the finale so you know no one's safe but again it just happened so abruptly and also too the the the tone of especially these
Starting point is 00:03:47 i mean all four films you can make the the case it's the tone is so dower and uh somber but especially these last two films, especially these last two films, they're war movies to me. Yeah, so, yeah. And the ending, not so much what I expected, but I'm actually glad she,
Starting point is 00:04:04 again, her and Peter are always going to have trauma and PTSD, but at least they have each other to comfort each other, and they have a family now. Yeah, that was probably the biggest surprise for me. I didn't expect them to go to a flash forward where they have two kids together.
Starting point is 00:04:19 I'm like, oh, wow, okay, we are cementing this as, this is the future they chose each other and they continue to choose each other through parenthood and develop the family together which I thought was beautiful morbid because of the people we lost along the way
Starting point is 00:04:34 but still beautiful in the end I think that's the happiest ending we could have for Katness and Peter and I really like the ending too for Effie I thought the way she embraced Katness too like I thought that built up too in a very nice and beautiful friendship I really like what they did with her character a lot too which I wasn't expecting from the first film
Starting point is 00:04:52 you know, when she announced who was going to be the tribunes, you know, from the District 12, the two tribunes, rather. And I really like where they went with her character and just showing how compassionate and caring she was towards Katness and Pita, of course, as well. And that she might have had a thing too for Hamich. So, yeah, I really like what Elizabeth Banks did with that character and kind of the emotional arc that she goes through as well. So she's not all about the glitz and the glamour. She's actually got a compassionate heart to her as well. I like that character a lot. Thank you so much for the question.
Starting point is 00:05:25 All right, Brian Reed, do you think Cadence made the right decision in the final moments with President Coyne? 100%, yes, because President Coyne was, not to use a punch, was a different side of the same kind of a coin as President Snow. She craved power,
Starting point is 00:05:42 and again, she was willing to do the same type of thing that President Snow was willing to do, you know, the Hunger Games again. You know, granted, I understood, And again, good writing is understanding care, even if you don't agree or feel the characters are justified in what they're doing, you understand their motivations. So I think that's always good writing, you know, whether it's from the author of a book or a writer of a film. And I understood where she was coming from, but I did not agree. It's like, did we not learn from my mistakes?
Starting point is 00:06:13 This is why we had the revolution and the rebellion is because of what Snow was doing. His oppressive government, you're just doing it in a different kind of form, you know? Repeating the same mistakes is not going to allow freedom. So I completely think that Katniss made the absolute right choice so that we would not be doomed to make the same mistakes that President Snow was doing. What about you? Oh, 100%. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:37 I didn't trust coin from the second I saw that this was the opposition to the Capitol, get everyone's in this uniform of, you know, of this space that lacks individuality. Yes, she's promoting something like democracy and, you know, a fair trial and a council. And as soon as we got to the Capitol, even before that point, actually, the fact that there was this priority of this propaganda. And granted, I get it to unite people, but I think the way they went about it felt like, I don't know, just this, the opposite side of the same coin of what the Capitol was doing with, you know, know, putting out this polished, clean thing to the ends of trying to create a feeling within your audience when it isn't the entirety or the truth of the situation. So I think that was something that bothered me when it came to President Cohen.
Starting point is 00:07:39 But also, you know, her one, killing the sister, because they didn't hard confirm, but it seemed pretty likely that she's the one that, you know, dropped the bombs because President Snow was like, Yeah. I don't, we promise to never lie to each other. I said that initially, too, and you were like, and it wasn't me making a prediction. That's just, I felt like, I don't know why Snow would do that and maybe in a last-ditch effort, but I just felt like that was coin doing that for some reason. I'm happy, even though we have that debate, the movie itself made it not clear, at least until the point where, you know, Katness and Snow had that conversation. Right.
Starting point is 00:08:15 But the other thing is the fact that she wanted to be the interim president and renew the hunger. games i'm like what are we what are we doing what this is the whole reason we fought in the first place because the hunger games are so inhumane and we were tired of being pinned against each other and now we're look the an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind that's what they say right so how long would this continue like okay all the people that are for the capital and the generations beyond that are they going to all have to participate in the games so we can keep who was now the 1% in the bottom rung of trying to
Starting point is 00:08:50 keep them contained and then just creates more violence and the rebellion is inspired from there and then so on and so on and yeah I think that ending that cycle entirely with killing President coin with the smart decision she had a good facade like she came off as soft and calculating
Starting point is 00:09:07 but also the way she used Katness as a propaganda like there was always something off and we kind of like always like something is unsettling about this character so So, great performance, though, by Julianne Moore. Oh, true. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:20 Thank you so much for the question. All right, Jaden Rhodes. Thank you so much for being a royal reject and for the question. How did you all feel about the death of Prim? Well, we already went over that. I always felt to make Cadness journey sort of feel meaningless. Obviously, it's not entirely meaningless with them taking down the capital, but the journey starts with her saving prim, but I still think the movie is really good,
Starting point is 00:09:39 and I can't wait for the reaction. Thank you for the question. We kind of mentioned, like, how abrupt it was, but I think, again, Aaron really highlighted that I think the scene that emphasized, like, you know, it wasn't all for not because, you know, to your point, Jaden, they did get the revolution that they want, that they needed. So snow is out of power. And now someone who is very similar in snow, just in a different kind of way, like coin is out of power. And I forgot if it was what that incredible woman was who took control, was now the elected president. she was a she's going to be a leader of freedom and um i think like it was all work prim didn't die in vain is what i'm trying to say and like it still is sad but it was a sacrifice that like in the end
Starting point is 00:10:28 like was noble and worthy and it's again it wasn't for nothing and would you have preferred her to live in the end of course so i wouldn't say it was meaning I wouldn't say it's meaningless or was worth nothing. And I get it. Catness did. She went in there. It just really shocked, I think, Aaron and I. I'm sure many of you when it just happened so abruptly,
Starting point is 00:10:51 but I'm very grateful we got that scene where, again, Jennifer Lawrence just gave everything in that moment. And I think butter, I like, too, that Buttercup, because I feel like animals can sense energy. I think Buttercup, who's never really had a good relationship with Katniss too, could sense like, hey, Prim's no longer around and Katniz needs me now in this moment too. So I thought it was a really visceral and beautiful and emotional scene. What about you? I thought it was really sad, but also in a weird way reflecting back upon it. Kind of poetic in the sense that she initially went into the Hunger Games to save her family, to save her sister. And in the end, in the finale, the death of her sister is what ignited her to save her country or her world.
Starting point is 00:11:40 good point so you know the the unfortunate poetic sacrifice of prim i feel like had prim not died cadness would not have killed snow or would have not have killed um coin because that was a good point yeah because that was the exciting igniting thing because she was cold and and she was uh you know still not fully processing at least to the to the audience the fact that her sister had died but her sister is the whole reason she did all of this in the first place and for the president this new president this person who's supposed to be representing change in a new regime and a better future does something so horrific not only to her sister
Starting point is 00:12:25 but to the people she's aiming to liberate that is the thing that sets things off as the catalyst for a new future so yeah it's it's it's it's It's almost like she saved her future. She saved her sister in the beginning of the Hunger Games in a preventative way. And she avenged her sister in a proactive way. So which I think is, yeah, it is the thing that culminates this whole story. And it's sad, it's tragic, it's poetic.
Starting point is 00:12:58 And, yeah, I think I would not have thought to do that as a writer, you know, of this series. but I think that the way that it was done makes perfect sense for the world that they've established. 100% and just really quick because we've got to get to the next question. I'm very curious now that you've brought that up, which I thought was fantastic.
Starting point is 00:13:17 I'm curious like if Prim did not die in that moment and from President Coyne, which again, we all know, President Coyne did not do that in purpose. It was dropping bombs. But either way, it was collateral damage. But either way, if that didn't happen, Prim survived and then Coin announced like she was that we're going to do
Starting point is 00:13:34 the Hunger Games. I mean, obviously, you know, Katniss wouldn't have done the vote to do that because there was a point that she did that vote so she could shoot her out in the open like that. But I'm curious if they still did get the hunger games going even without Katniss's vote. Like, how would Katniss have felt about that? I got
Starting point is 00:13:50 to imagine she would have felt like because she's got a moral compass and she's kind of against killing unless it's more in a self-defense type of way. She's more of a pacifist in that type of way. So I'm curious if Katniss would have like pot coin in a sense
Starting point is 00:14:05 in there but you again you bring up some really like i got a lot of questions that might have what would have happened but yeah yeah we'll never know we'll never know great great point though you made all right thank you so much all right rejugation we'd be coming off summer i'm still going to be working out five to six times a week filming constantly and trying to stay dialed in with my energy but honestly you know fall hits and suddenly everything feels a little bit harder to keep up with still i want to take my health seriously i've dropped nearly 50 pounds this year and dropped down for over 20% body fat to now 8%.

Starting point is 00:16:05 one is very like future i mean i guess the whole thing is it's just like a lot of the other districts like the higher up you go are more beat up um but i mean the district one is very futuristic it could be on another plan i mean they all could be on another planet i guess they never said it was america i've got sworn it it was america if they did i just don't remember well it feels like i think it takes place on an alternate universe and alternate earth okay of a of a of America than at some point in time, this is when things kind of went south in a new direction. I guess my question is not if this is a different earth, but is this something that's purely happening in America?
Starting point is 00:16:48 Like, what are the hunger games and, like, all of this stuff is happening? But, like, countries like France and England are just, like, normal. Right, right. It's just a certain part of the world where this is happening. It's just America this is happening. But everywhere else is as it was. Yeah, we're all good. You guys fight on your own.
Starting point is 00:17:04 You guys have your civil war. yeah because i can't imagine because obviously the the world that they've established so you know kind of condensed to these 12 slash 13 districts so what does the world of the hungry games or where this takes place actually look like that's a part that's more interesting to me than if it's on earth or dot because it's still about people struggling rising up yeah i i i just assumed that was part of the whole world but you're probably right i mean you're right i don't know it was just my Because if you can ride to a district, it assumes it's all in the same country. Yeah, you're probably right. Yeah. Who knows? Good question, though, Jay. I like it.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Yeah, I appreciate it. All right. Tori, Jerry, thank you so much for being a real reject for asking us the question. As someone who read the books, there's definitely some parts that were left out or brushed over in the movies for the sake of time. Of course, they always do that. One of those, in my opinion, was in part one. when they explained that the double bomb was Gail's idea, the same
Starting point is 00:18:05 bomb that killed Cram. Oh, yes. Do you think they explained this effectively in the films? Uh, no. Are there any parts that you wish that they went more in depth with? Definitely. First of all, the first part, we kind of just really
Starting point is 00:18:22 quickly touched mine. Definitely not. I just assumed it was just more of a coin choice because I, yeah, she'll sometimes listen to like, I forgot his name, Philip Seymour Oppen's character, Plutart, she'll sometimes, yeah, she'll sometimes listen to his character, or at least just hear his advice, but at the end of the day, I feel like she makes her own decisions. It's like the buck stops with her, if you will. But I, and I mean, I know Gail's got that soldier mentality given to Aaron's incredible point that he made earlier, like, you know, given the survival mentality that he's had to, like, the hardships he's had to live with his entire life. Like, that's just the, the mindset this guy has. And I guess. get it but i never got that and again i know it's in the book as you mentioned but i never got that indication in the movie or at least they didn't make it known that that was part of it so
Starting point is 00:19:15 yeah not for me but are there any parts that you wish went more in depth with i know in the book because uh i actually looked this up with erin around me the other day i forgot the the guy's name i kind of talked about it uh during the reaction the peacekeeper the peacekeeper guy i just wish and i know in the book he's done after what happened because he was there to to make sure district 12 was kept in line and do the the the stuff that philip seymour hopman wanted and i get that i'm glad they stayed faithful of the book that's cool i just think they they really planted that guy he's such a a menacing presence and i would have loved as the the peacekeepers were going around not saying he's got to be in every scene or anything but just continue that that threat level of
Starting point is 00:19:58 having him go around doing crazy stuff and maybe at some point if you could either have cat and his battle him or even i would have been down for a hey we didn't get to see hamitch fight one time in the series not saying you always got to go exactly by the books but could have deviated in that way i would have loved if they did that but that's me what about you yeah uh i don't think they made it extremely clear but i think it was kind of alluded to slash implied when he went to go visit cadness in the hospital and he was like i just wanted to protect my family protect your family and so and she was like goodbye uh gale so i was like okay so he definitely feels some guilt for some involvement for what happened for sure and that's why okay now things kind of went uh left so maybe yeah
Starting point is 00:20:45 the bombs were his idea but prim dying was not part of his plan uh so yeah that's something that i feel like was not made clear but i will say the other part that's the other part that thing that I wanted more of was probably, I think I said it during the reaction, I wanted more Finnic and Annie, and I felt like there was not enough of that for me to really feel the loss for the tragedy of at least their relationship, because, yeah, it shows her emotional journey or her resolve with that, the fact they had a son off screen, you know, from, you know, we see a picture of her and her kid, and yeah, we only said, I don't, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe we meet Annie in the first two movies.
Starting point is 00:21:28 We don't really see her until the end of Mocking Jay part two or part one. Right. So when they get married and then he dies, like I liked him as a character. It was a great subversion because when we meet him and catching fire, you really don't trust him and, like, kind of question his motivation
Starting point is 00:21:44 until you realize he's a good dude in the end. And then the other girl, Joanna? Was that her name? Oh, I know which one. I think that the one who I said Looked like Ripley from Alien 3 Yeah yeah I would have liked
Starting point is 00:21:57 Jenam alone Yeah Yeah I would have liked more of her as well Because I thought she was a very interesting character And I wanted to know more about the dynamics And the history between The different Victors of the Hunger Games
Starting point is 00:22:10 And yeah Just all Just more stuff I feel like there's a lot of stuff That was on the cutting room floor I'd like to know more about Prim and like who she is as a person So I feel like
Starting point is 00:22:20 Are the reason why we care that she passed because she's Katna's sister and I wish that was doubled with the fact that we care because we lost somebody we really liked but I don't feel like we really got to know Prim that well she was just the object of
Starting point is 00:22:35 of Katniss's cystorial love I don't think systorial is a word but I like it though yeah for familial love there we go there we go but yeah I think that is the question answered
Starting point is 00:22:51 but I also think too just going a little off what you said I also think Jennifer Lawrence did another phenomenal job in this movie she really is she's even more quieter in this film a lot more visceral because she holds this weight and this heavy burden
Starting point is 00:23:03 throughout the film so I really again just enjoyed her performance especially the beginning when her vocal cords messed up too but yeah and also too the fact that this film it's the finale so you would expect them to focus on the spectacle
Starting point is 00:23:18 but the fact that they focused on the moral reckoning and the psychology of what war can do, I just thought that was, it was very balsy, and I was like, wow, really impressed. But I thought they, for the most part, really executed on that well. I was impressed. I'd say so.
Starting point is 00:23:34 Yeah. Anyways, thank you so much for the question. The last one. All right. All right. Game night, J. 14. Thank you so much for the question. Andrew and Aaron.
Starting point is 00:23:48 I hope you guys are doing well after the heartbreaker of this movie. I know I wasn't the first time. Yeah, it was a tough one, man. Thank you. After seeing all the main Hunger Games trilogy or quadrology, do you feel, how do you feel knowing that the prequel movie is about President's? No.
Starting point is 00:24:06 We did not. We did not. Thank you. I appreciate it. And that the upcoming prequel is about Hamage's games? What? Oh, that I'm excited for. What did I literally just say about Hamage?
Starting point is 00:24:19 I want to see him do some fighting. And also, too, just really quick, we'll get to the President Snow thing in a second because I assume that's the Rachel Zegler movie they're talking about. Oh, no, the upcoming movie, the one that's coming out next is about Hamich's news.
Starting point is 00:24:29 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know. I'll get to the President Snow with Zegler, but I'm saying the Hamich one makes me super excited because we didn't, other than, I loved his dialogue and just, like, seeing this character's trauma, but to actually get to see in the Hunger Games, what caused this man to go to the bottle every day?
Starting point is 00:24:47 Yes, I know it's the Hunger Games, but to see in battle, and what he went through, I want to see who he was before that. Yeah. And I'm going to be fascinated by that. It's going to be a tough casting choice because Woody Harrelson was phenomenal
Starting point is 00:25:00 in all four of these films. DeAsian, we're going to bring him back. I'm just kidding. They're probably not going to do that. I'm just, I don't know how I feel about deaging still. There's sometimes where I'm like, it's good, and there's other times I'm like, this is really distracting personally.
Starting point is 00:25:13 And if you love it, great, not judging for it, but that's going to be, again, I love the idea of that film. just got to really stick the landing on that on the uh the casting there uh the prequel movie i had no idea i just knew rachel zegler right was in that movie i did not know it's about president snow so i'm assuming it's how he got his rise now i don't i don't know but we'll see it yeah because um what's his name not gale finnick he was saying that you know sneak snow did a lot of things to you know climb his way to the top betrayed a lot of people poisoned a lot of people so
Starting point is 00:25:50 So it's almost like we're watching a villain origin story And how he rose his way to power That's what I mean, that's the story I think would be interesting I don't know if Snow himself ever participated in the games I don't I highly highly doubt that I will see but I doubt that You know I really like this world The only thing I'm like
Starting point is 00:26:08 Not bummed about But we know how the story ends So watching people that's in a prequel The Hunger Games We know that they're just living continuing to live in a story and generations of oppression until Katniss liberates them years later. But I think the concepts of seeing more actual Hunger Games is interesting because it's the concept of seeing people in their state of survival and what they'll do to survive.
Starting point is 00:26:40 I think that in and of itself is fascinating. And scary. And very scary, of course, but has the potential to be really engaging. Definitely. So, yeah, I would be. be down for a sequel, both the President Snow movie and a Hamage movie. Well, the President Snow one, it seems
Starting point is 00:26:56 like that one already came out. The President Snow one already came out, and there's also another Hunger Game movie that's going to come out. With Hamich. The Hamish one I'm so down for. I just, again, you've got to nail that casting. That is imperative. I don't know who you're going to get for that. And then, I think it's kind of not feel
Starting point is 00:27:12 like an impersonation. It's kind of feel natural like he is Hamich. And then, yeah, I'm assuming we're going to do that, that president snow movie the the prequel rather so i guess be on the lookout for that i'm assuming we're going to do it so yeah uh and then really quick before we get out of here what do you think critics and and audience that's the only one we're going to do critics 70 audience
Starting point is 00:27:37 critics you know critics you nailed to the T. Damn, audiences did not care for this. I wouldn't say they didn't care, but yeah, they're definitely a little more. I guess people just prefer the actual Hunger Games rather than the war set in the Hunger Games world. Again, catching fire was
Starting point is 00:28:04 my favorite one. I think we agree on the order for and I'd love to hear your orders by the way of the four films. You don't need to include the fifth one because we haven't seen that yet. But if you want to, you can as well. Our order and I think we are in agreement, as I just pointed out, is two one four three yeah sounds about right yeah anyways guys thank you so much for watching this whole series with us we had a blast and um great exciting scary emotional at times
Starting point is 00:28:34 but again we had a great time doing this and as i mentioned a couple times earlier i think we're going to do that prequel not sure yet but if we do be on the lookout be up soon hopefully and take care and may your odds be ever in your favor.
