The new Hunger Games movie is out this week, and Andrew, Chris and Chris discuss the popularity of dystopian worlds. What makes dystopia so appealing to audiences, especially to teens and young adults? What’s the difference between post-apocalyptic stories and dystopias? How do politics play in our perception of dystopian worlds? These and other questions are answered and fought over.

Also our best and worst of the week.
