NEW Hunger Games Fireside Chat TONIGHT : How Things Have Changed

The Hunger Games Fireside Chat is back! Here's what they're going to be talking about tonight:

Our love for the Hunger Games franchise may have withstood the test of time, but we have all gone through several transformations, both as participants and as spectators. The same can be said for certain characters in the story, such as Effie, and in this episode, we will juxtapose our own changes with those of the characters.

Courtney will be standing-in as co-host in tonight's episode! Make sure you tweet along with us @WtoD12 and use the hashtag #hgfiresidechat!

Click here to listen tonight (Monday, 9/29/14) @ 10pm ET/7pm PT!

MOCKINGJAY Part 1 COUNTDOWN - Week 5

Welcome back to another edition of our Mockingjay Part 1 Countdown! Week 5 brings something I have been misty eyed over ever since Mockingjay came out: The Mockingjay bow. When I first read chapter 5, I just thought that as a hero Katniss has to have a signature weapon which is a common occurrence in epic storytelling. Katniss basically gets her Master Sword, and thus she becomes The Mockingjay of Time.

During this chapter, Beetee takes Katniss and Gale down into the depths of District 13. They visit the armory and weapons lab so Beetee can give them their upgrades for the upcoming war. What's different now is that much more has been revealed to us: The weapons lab can be seen (for a second) in the full trailer and Gale's character poster shows the bow and arrow (now crossbow) loaded with gadgetry. I've always loved imagining what these fantastic weapons looked like, especially the Mockingjay bow. There's mystery in it as well. It is voice activated and Katniss does mention it has a voice override. I have a zillion questions about how that works and would love to see every detail of it come to life in the film. I doubt the bow would talk, but I am super intrigued as to what it would sound like.

This chapter also holds a very important moment for fans, and that would be Haymitch's entrance into Mockingjay -- "And that, my friends, is how a revolution dies." I am hoping this gem makes it to the screen if only that Mockingjay desperately needs comic relief. Francis Lawrence is no stranger to that and he did in fact mention there would be some particularly in Effie. I think many fans are looking forward to see this moment occur on screen, and some may even be disappointed if it is absent. I'll understand if it stays on the cutting room floor, but I would enjoy seeing an awkward Katniss try and act angry.

Come back next week for another edition!

Lorde, who will be curating the Mockingjay pt. 1 Soundtrack, tweeted the cover art above to announce both the title of the song - Yellow Flicker Beat and the release date, which will be on September 29!

Last year, Lorde's super different and interesting cover of Everybody Wants to Rule the World was featured in the soundtrack. What do you think this new single will sound like?
