Can The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 keep up with the first two films? Why was the final book split into two movies? Does Katniss even want to be part of this revolution? On this week’s Voice Film Club podcast, we discuss all things Hunger Games before moving onto a documentary about Sheffield, England’s Pulp, and finishing with a recommendation for Happy Valley, a documentary on the fallout after the Penn State scandal. Be sure to follow our hosts on Twitter: Alan Scherstuhl (), Stephanie Zacharek (@szacharek), and Amy Nicholson (@theamynicholson).
