The Starving Games: Catching Wind

***The Starving Games: Catching Wind*** is a 2022 American parody film written and directed by Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer. The film is a sequel to *The Starving Games*.

## Plot

After Kantmiss Evershot and Peter Malarkey won the 74th Starving Games from the previous film, Seleca was arrested for treason while Kantmiss reunited with her sister Petunia and she and Peter developed a romantic relationship. Kantmiss while hunting reunites with Dale, who apologizes for breaking up with her. Although Kantmiss was about to say no, she accepts. President Snowballs visits Kantmiss and confronts her about her actions from the previous games, saying that he would not tolerate the law being broken and admits that it is all for the rebel alliance. Kantmiss meets a new game producer Plustarch Heesbee.

The 75th annual Starving Games was announced to the public and Snowballs announces that he will recruit previous winners of the previous games. The news upsets everyone from all around the world. Kantmiss ensures that she and Peter survives. At the gathering, the drawing for Kantmiss and Peter's names were named. They recruit new allies named Finn Oh-No, Jo-Hoe, Bee, Hooked-Up-Wire, and Meggie. Plustarch then talks to Effoff on the phone saying that he will be forming a rebel alliance called Chicken.

In the games, Kantmiss, Peter, Finn Oh-No, and Meggie flees into the jungle. They got into several obstacles such as flying monkeys and Godzilla. They are being chased by poison fire coral and Meggie sacrificed herself to save them. Moments later, a rabid Mighty Joe Young attacks them when a woman named Jill Young gets badly devoured. The three escape to the island where they team up with Jo-Hoe, Bee, and Hooked-Up-Wire. Hooked-Up-Wire begins to repeat the words "they're coming, tik tok", leading to Kantmiss realizing that the arena is made as a wood between the worlds. While repeating it over again, Hooked-Up-Wire gets exploded by a grenade. Causing the clock to spin around faster, it begins to take them to a secret temple from underwater.

As they got in, Bee suggested luring the rest of the pendulum being tied up, so it can destroy the arena. As the two groups separate, Jo-Hoe realizes that Snowballs is still watching via security cameras and decided to betray him by knocking out Kantmiss and cuts the tracker off of her leg. As Jo-Hoe escapes, Kantmiss gets up and finds a knocked out Bee. She was unable to search for Peter and begins to find out the next situation. Finn Oh-No arrives and tells Kantmiss to try to remember what they are facing. A pendulum begins gonging to midnight and Kantmiss shoots a pineapple to destroy it. The arena gets destroyed with a bunch of Galaxy Garrison battleships rescuing both Kantmiss, Bee, and Finn Oh-No.

Kantmiss awakens to a secret headquarters which is later revealed to be a Chicken Rebel Alliance. She then meets the rebels against Snowballs. The members include Phil Connors, Machete, Captain Marvel, Evan Baxter, Izuku Midoriya, All-Might, Evelyn Quan Wang, John Anderton, Naruto Uzumaki, Miles Morales, Eleven, Takashi Shirogane, Giselle, and Carl Sagan, Finn Oh-No, and surprisingly Plustarch. Carl explains that since Snowballs destroyed many of their homes, they have to rebel against him and form a new bound located in District 13. Takashi reveals that half of the districts were in on this plan to rescue Kantmiss, a symbol to the rebels. John tells her that both Peter and Jo-Hoe have been captured in the hands of Snowballs. Dale then comes in and reassures that Petunia is safe, but District 12 is destroyed.
