Welcome back, tributes! This week Emily and Holly re-cast the original "Hunger Games" movie with cast members from 2022. Everyone can agree that Tom Holland would be the best Peeta, just as much as everyone can agree that we NEED more representation in these films. The tributes discuss your picks for casting as well as their own. Who would you cast for the movie if it was being produced in 2022? Share your thoughts on our picks and your own picks with us on our social medias: @Intothearenapodcast on Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, Discord, and more! Join us for Tribute Talk every Monday at 6PM PST/9 PM EST.
Welcome back, tributes! This has to be our most exciting episode to date. On this episode, Emily and Holly had the honor to sit down and chat with the fandom's favorite Lucy Gray Baird, Maiah Wynne.

A bubbly, kindhearted woman, Maiah answers our fun rapid fire questions while also reflecting on questions from y'all (our most wonderful listeners). Sit down, relax, and enjoy this week's episode as much as we have! Share your thoughts with us at @Intothearenapodcast (on TikTok, Instagram, Youtube, and Facebook).
