Welcome, welcome, to the 10th Annual Hunger Games, as Effie Trinket would say. Perhaps we should rephrase that to the Hunger Games prequel movie, The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.
"The prequel follows the story of 18-year-old Coriolanus Snow, before he becomes the tyrannical president of Panem. As the last hope for his fading lineage, Snow is assigned to mentor Lucy Gray Baird from District 12 in the 10th annual Hunger Games. Together, they use their showmanship and political savvy to uncover the true nature of the participants, distinguishing between those who are genuine and those who are deceitful. This highly anticipated movie is expected to be as popular as the original franchise. If you're interested in watching it, here's how you can do so."
