Mona Chatterjee

Mona Chatterjee returns for a Make Me A Nerd first: the show’s first-ever book-to-movie follow-up, tackling the 2012 film adaptation of The Hunger Games. Mandy and Mona debate what the movie nails, what it loses, and why a story called The Hunger Games somehow forgot to include the food.

Mandy and Mona dissect Suzanne Collins’ dystopian masterpiece The Hunger Games, exploring everything from Katniss’s questionable trust issues to the perfume potential of arena sweat. They tackle the big questions: Why don’t we get a peacekeepers’ reality show and how did a book about children murdering each other become required middle school reading?
