Names You Didn't Know Were Picked For The Reaping

The first name picked from the infamous glass jar. 

It's not customary to choose a second name for the games, but when Hugh Janus did not come forward, there was no other choice. After all, there had to be a boy to represent District 12 for the Starving Games. 

Phil Mahooters didn't come forward, and she was beginning to feel mildly annoyed. She asked again and again. No one came to join her side. 

Since Phil wasn't present, one more name was drawn for the boys. Has anyone seen a Dean Gullberry? Everyone, look around. Check behind you for a Dean Gullberry. 

Now, time for the girls. Someone must be chosen to be thrown into the arena.

Kantmiss was not picked, and she was not shy about sharing her enthusiasm and joy. She even bumped chests with a guard. She is finally 18, and can no longer be chosen! Oh rapture! Oh joy! 

"Suck it"

It wasn't until after her sister, Petunia, gave her big puppy dog eyes that she volunteered. Petunia was quite pleased with herself that she tricked her older sister into taking her place of sure death.

I'm not usually one to choose a parody, but I'm a Hunger Games fan, so I was curious about what they came up with. Only ten minutes in to the movie, and I am already laughing! It's ridiculous, to be sure, and it is already full of dumb jokes and fake blood, but it's supposed to be good for a laugh, and so far, it is. So, here I am, fully recommending at least the first 10 minutes of "The Starving Games."

It's completely bonkers, and not the most clever, but it is raunchy fun!

Now, will someone please. Come forward. Phil Mahooters!

Check it out on Netflix.
