#36 Fireside Chat: The Chronicles of Katnia

In Episode 36 of Fireside Chat, we share our thoughts on what was probably the biggest news story of the week: the potential merger of Lionsgate and Summit. If it happens, how will this merger affect the future of the Hunger Games film franchise? In light of tonight's BREAKING NEWS, we talk about James Newton Howard, who will be replacing Danny Elfman as the film's composer. At 10:30 or so, we interview the brilliant creators of The Katniss Chronicles, an unofficial audio drama based on The Hunger Games. We conclude with a couple of Crackpot Theories: The Hunger Games actually happened in the 1800s but the government today is covering it up; Mags was actually speaking Spanish when she was "babbling" in Catching Fire.
