I Watched *THE HUNGER GAMES THE BALLAD OF SONGBIRDS & SNAKES* For The FIRST TIME.. 

Ok ok forgive me for not realizing this was prequel after awhile 😂 I know yall about to tear me up about this video. Hunger games wasn’t fresh in my mind. Did yall like the music in this? What y’all think of my remix “Y’all goin die Tuhday”? DRINK WATER!!!

The way it didn’t click to Billy that corio is president snow until the end is so funny to me 🤦🏽‍♀️🤣

I love how the napkin flew right over his head and he full on believed that Lucy’s singing stopped the snakes from actually getting her but hey, it was still a really good misdirect even though it was a misdirect for the audience inside the movie & not the actual audience of this movie 😂

Billy not realizing it was a prequel till the very end is CRAZY

Billy it's so funny you watched the whole movie without knowing it was President Snow villain origin story😂😂😂

I saw it said once: Lucy Gray was a performer forced to fight, and Katniss was a fighter forced to perform.

"Wasn't there a Hunger Game movie called the Songbirds?" 😂😂😂

17:39 “wasn’t there a hunger games movie called the Songbird?” Yes Billy… it’s the one you are currently watching lmaooooo!!!!

‘Wasn’t there a hunger games movie named the songbird ??’ Billy you always so unintentionally hilarious😭😂😂

Billy not vibing with the music is such a plot twist like WHAT DO YOU MEANN YOU DONT LIKE IT But I knew he’d love the nothing you can take song

There were a few things cut from the book so here it is -the bite on jessup in the book was actually from a raccoon and it didn’t happen on the train car. It actually happened in the zoo -Lucy Gray and Coryo actually had there first kiss in front of the other tributes and mentors the night before the games -I wish they would have included the blush compact more because in the books it belonged to Coryo’s mother and he used the compact as a form of comfort for himself and when he gave it to Lucy Gray Lucy Gray said that the whole time she was in the games she kept on reminding herself that she had to return the compact to him and that’s what kept her going -In the book the guy actually tore the flag and ripped it up into pieces for each tribute. He also “buried” the tributes over time after each tribute died instead of all at once. That’s why the flag scene was so controversial, but I guess the directors didn’t want to tear up a country’s flag even if it’s fake -the covey was a lot more prominent in the book then they are in the movie -the song that Katniss sings to rue when she is dying is actually sung by Lucy gray to Maude ivory in the books. That’s why many people theorize that Lucy gray or Maude ivory are katniss’s grandma. Katniss’s father was known to have a great singing voice in the books which is what made katniss’s mother fall in love with him in the first place - coryo actually is a peacekeeper for weeks before sejanus comes and he is contemplating suicide at this point. When sejanus comes is when he turns around his mindset - when coryo is a peacekeeper, he feels like he can’t trust sejanus on several occasions because he has secret meetings, always walked away at the covey concerts and Coryo found thousands of dollars hidden away in sejanus’s belongings. This caused Coryo to feel like he had to keep Seianus in line because he didn’t want anything bad to happen to him -also the movie cut out the group of other peacekeeper people that coryo and sejanus hung out with. I wish they included it because it was a nice dynamic -they cut out coryo’s relation ship with sejanun’s mom and this showed how he took advantage of sejanun’s family especially after his death - the hanging tree song actually explains events in the book and it’s more explained in the books. “They strung up a man they say he murdered three” is the man that was hanged in the beginning of part 3. “Where the dead man called out for his love to flee” is when the man called out for the girl to run before he was hanged. “Where I told you to run so we’d both be free” billy actually tried to convince Lucy gray to leave district 12 with him(involving sejanun’s plan) which is why Billy said that she is coming with me when Lucy came into the situation at the barn. “Where a necklace of rope side by side with me” Billy wanted to hang himself but he wanted Lucy gray to do it with him”. Lucy also sang this at her last concert and used the line “where we met at midnight in the hanging tree” as a hint to Coryo for where to meet instead of telling him directly to be less suspicious - In the book when coryo recorded sejanus, he didn’t speak so his voice wasn’t in the recording at all. Because of this coryo thought that nothing would happen and that no one would know it was coryo who sent it and sejanus wouldn’t get in trouble because he hoped that However doctor gual knew because she taught him how to use the jabber jay remote -the movie also cut out clemmy’s storyline with the snakes. Coryo visited her in the hospital several times and her skin was turning into rainbow scales and her eyes were yellow -snow always hated mockingjays because they weren’t natural. He came of with the idea of gathering the jabberjays and he wanted to kill them. However dr. Gaul wanted some for experiments which is what coryo and sejanus were doing in the movie -this book/movie shows why snow hated katniss so much because katniss is a constant reminder of Lucy gray. Katniss was “the mockingjay” and Lucy gray literally abandoned him with mockingjays. Lucy gray also wrote the song hanging tree which became the anthem for the revolution and if I were snow I would be going through a fever dream hearing that song again😂 I kind of said a lot and I think I even missed some stuff too, but I just wanted to give a little more details from the book that was kept out of the movie. I wish they didn’t take these details out/changed things but I understand because the movie would have been so long and the stuff that they took out had to make them change stuff in order for the movie to make sense

Rachel Zegler (Lucy Gray) actually sang all the songs live on the set. Also I'm pretty sure The Hunger Games is set in America like 200 years in the future

“Ok so that was the Hunger Games Battle of songbirds and birds flying” bro that took me OUT🤣🤣🤣

“Imma be honest with y’all that dude is a villain.” Excuse me BILLY!?! 😂 yes that’s the point

The laugh I let out in the theatres when he said “Tuberculosis on legs” 😂

Not Billy forgetting that 1. This is taking place in the future and 2. Coriolanus obviously won't die cause he becomes president 😂

Billy, it’s called the BALLAD of songbirds and snakes. Ya know, as in the type of songs 😭😂

I think this movie did an amazing job at explaining why President Snow hated Katniss so much. He knew right away that she didn’t love Peta. He saw Peta getting fooled by Katniss, and that reminded him of what Lucy did to him. Everything about Katniss reminded Snow of how he was made a fool by Lucy. And then in the end of the first movie, the girl that reminded him so much of Lucy made a fool of him again with the berry stunt.

Billy figuring it out at the end is just so him its insane

tells us to go watch hunger games if we dont know the rebellion song but then Billy doesnt know : - the notes to the rebellion sign (sounded like an ambulance) - doesnt know who katniss is - doesnt know that this is the future president in the hunger games (billy mentioned he hopes he dies hence not know who he is cause obv he lives on0 love you billy lol all in good fun

Lord forgive how much I laughed at, "Stab that heffa! Stab that heffa! STAB THAT HEFFA!" 🤣🤣🤣

I feel like knowing it’s a prequel about President Snow may have added to this reaction 😅 that’s what makes the movie, we watch how he got to where he is in the hunger games og- it is what it is ofc reaction is still great 👍🏼 watching the manipulation and tying things into the og movies etc would have put this higher on your list- the book is better than the original books too actually. Thanks for the reaction!!

As a Palestinian, some of the scenes and quotes of these movies hit HARD. The parallels between this series and the plight of my people is staggering.

So. Snow is genius and I ain’t mad at the hustle. Could use another movie of his continued rise- the actor killed it. I want a movie where we can kind of root for a bad guy in a way lol (not for the hunger games, for the villain)

I feel like we need a compilation video of Billy trying to guess actors' names. Petey Donkey had me in stitches 😂

15:06 if you like audio books at all, I highly recommend listening to this one. Clemmy doesn't die . . . . . . . . Spoiler . . . . . . . . . . . . Clemmy ends up developing scales on her arm and neck, and has a hard time keeping her tongue in her mouth. She's kept in the hospital for months, away from everyone, and her family was told she had the flu. She's the first Capitol citizen to have animal-like physical alterations (similar to how Tigress ends up with whiskers in the 3rd or 4th book of The Hunger Games)

Bruh, calling Malfoy Teflon Don killed me 😂

Violet Davidson & Petey Donkey really do kill whatever roles they're cast in 🙌

27:04 FYI, once you develop symptoms, rabies is almost always fatal. You can get a shot after being bitten in an attempt to stop the infection but if it does take hold, the outlook isn't good

Billy said this is the HUNGER GAMES and I expect DEATH

To think that "The Hanging Tree" song was written by Lucy Grey about Snow. I absolutely loved that choice. Throughout the film, you can see signs of Snow's true character. He was coming up with most of the ideas that were in the present Hunger Games. He didn't have to kill that tribute and the mayors daughter or rat out his friend, but he did. Lucy was the person that broke him. When I say that, I don't mean he was broken-hearted. It is that she revealed him as the monster that he always was. From the moment he was assigned as her mentor, the man we know as President Snow came to light. This is the best prequel I've seen in a long time.

I could’ve used another hour of this movie… or even two! Definitely one of the better HG movies.

I loved it, though I read the book, so that made me like it more. It's funny to me that some people say it needed to be shorter and some longer. I don't really care. All I care is that I cracked up when Billy did the salute with the "weewoo weewoo." I forgot about that and "Catalina!" Billy so crazy!😂

He full on didn’t realize this was a prequel about Snow till the end. Thats wild 😂😂😂

the way that he was trying to pronounce draco malfoy in harry potter😂 harry potter fan here

Rabies has 99% fatality rate so doubt a lot of survivors out there

This has the same energy as “oh this is the 1960’s” -via hairspray 😂

**ambulance noises while holding the salute** I missed this 🤗 Savannah, Tatiana, Jess, the OG- there goes Billy renaming ppl 🙈 he really only knows Snow ... Hold up, no he doesn't 🤦🏾‍♀️ Not it taking 2 hours and 30 minutes for Billy to figure out Snow is *that* Snow 💀 no wonder he jumped sides so often 😂🤣😂

It says ballad in the name🤣 ofc there’s music, others were asking the same thing

This was by far my favorite movie of the year 2023, I loved the downfall of Snow I use to not like him but he is my favorite character now!!

The creepiest part is Sejanus last screams getting repeated by the Mockingjay.

im ngl, this probably the funniest video you’ve ever made billy 😭😭😭 im literally crying

I agree that the movie was okay. For those who watch it not having red the bookthe story is rushed and can't hit as deep or truly correct to why Snow reacts as rashly as he does in the original series. The book shows the characters develop and it's more brutal like a whole week to two of torture is missing and you get Snows internal dialogue.

“Wasn’t there a hunger games movie called the songbird? Or am I mixing that up?” DO YOU MEAN THE ONE YOU’RE CURRENTLY WATCHING, BILLY? 😂😂

“Is this movie a musical?” My brother in Christ it’s called ‘The BALLAD of SONGBIRDS and Snakes’, yes there will be a lot of music 😂😂 Loved the reaction though, especially when you finally realized it was a prequel 😂😂

The Menu !!! #bingers (Mello watched and I LOVEDDDDD his reaction, I am super curious about how you would you would react to the psychological thriller) ✨✨

Oh billy you keep saying snow has to die had me laughing so hard 😂 Then it clicked and i laughed even harder. Dont ever change billy

Dr Gaul is played by Viola Davis and High bottom is played by Peter Dinklage.

billy , babe . it’s called a ballad of songbirds and snakes . there’s going to be some singing ! 😅 also the bow at the reaping ? was a carbon copy of the one katniss does. and yes , they do keep the tributes at the zoo. to the capitol district kids are nothing but animals , anyways . so to them it makes sense to keep them there. needless to say , all the actors in this movie are superb . they all did an excellent job embodying their roles .

Me like Billy, he can't die he's President Snow, not realizing until the end you didn't know it was a prequel. 😂 ILU man. One of the best reactors out there. I did like the music a lot but I get why some people thought it was overdone.

Damn you really don't pay attention 🤣 they say his name Snow a lot in this movie and it's only towards the end that you made the connection 🤣

Lmao oooookaaaaay that's how he tied the shoelaces togetherrrrrr. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Most of the reviews for the movie said it was mid or a soulless cash grab but I gotta say this commentary made it seem actually pretty good, I might actually watch it 😂

Okay but the names of the actors. Could just be me but when you said, ``violet something´´ I was like Viola Davis. & then said, ``PD something, donkey.´´ Here I am, Peter Dinklage. Also, the main character in the Hunger Games trilogy, Jennifer Lawrence´s character is : Katniss Everdeen.

Billy being blind to the plot makes me chuckle 💀

STAB THAT HEFFA! STAB THAT HEFFA! STAB THAT HEFFA! -BillyBinges

Soon as i clicked i knew Billy would be cracking up at Lucky Flickerman 😂

I kno it was long Billy, I was struggling after a hour and 30 in the theaters but overall I liked it. Made me want to read the book

this has to be the funniest reaction to this movie LMAO rapping eminem sold me 37:23

Get y'all Water Ready🍶

Pause… we just started and Billy is already mispronouncing words talking about making a “combilation video” 😭😂😂. You’re hilarious omg

Billy really got the point AT THE VERY END 😂 I just love him

Snow is the president from the hunger game

I definitely think it should've been a short series on netflix or something

Whenever Billy does the hunger games sound, it sounds more like squid games 😂

Listened to this soundtrack all day today - Billy, your timing is impeccable !

I’m a little late but I’m happy to be here, this movie was pretty good and the music as well, glad you reacted to this ❤ make sure to get your water y’all 💁🏽‍♀️

“idk what you guys were doing back then” as all the hunger games movies are set in future america 😭

Oooo Billy I like the new background !! It looks so nice~ I got those same plants on my animal crossing island actually 😂

Personally I think that Snow was hallucinating shooting Lucy Gray bc he got bit by the snake

„You matter, I love you.“ Man, you don’t know how much I needed this right now 😢. Everybody seems to hate me at the moment and telling rumors and shit about me for things I haven’t done. Love you too ❤ thanks for cheering me up.

I went to see this movie in the theater with a friend of mine. Neither of us really liked it at the time, but I promise you, watching Billy react to it made it that much better.

I’ve been waiting for u to do this movie!! Happy hunger games 🕊️

The man hanging in the middle of the arena was Marcus, the tribute that Sejanus was the mentor for. He knew him in district 2. He said that his father payed for them to draw Marcus's name at the reaping, so Sejanus would see that they never could go back and things could never be like before.

I was looking forward to this moment 😂 favorite reactor reacting to my current obsession

Love your reactions to this movie! Your remixes are hilarious haha And once again, Thank you for your service, Billy!!!!

Singing the camp rock finale song followed by “hallelujah” is…. Amazing. 😂

i saw it in theaters and was literally hooked, it’s so good and i liked seeing why he was the way he was lol edit: i knew there was going to be singing, and she sounded great! but outside of musicals, and like a disney movies..pause on all that

They don’t teach cursive anymore and it is so concerning for me lol

You already know I’m here for the premiere even though I’m extra late cuz of work haha 😂

games started with a snow and ended with one.....thats gangsta Billy, youve got to agree thats gangsta

Billy would make an excellent Hunger Games host though 😂 I was so looking forward to your commentary on this!

Also I love how you were not feeling any of the songs and we're like I hope she doesn't sing again and then loved every song after that statement

Thanks Billy for uploading I had a rough day

I actually didn't see you reacting to this coming. Maybe later in the year but didn't expect January. #bingers The Blackening

14:02 I thought you were going to say, "I look just like him with this hat off." 😂

"I forgot to bring my colon up here with me" is what I heard 😂

I wasn't feeling the song the first time she sang, but when she sings with the snakes... that part legit gave me chills. That was the best part for me.

26:55 to answer your question, yes. my grandpa was in the Philippines and got bit by a rabid dog, died within the week

I love Billy, but honestly hate all his reactions to the hunger games franchise lol. I feel he just doesn't pick up on things. Not knowing this was a prequel until the last 5 minutes is wild lol

I wish this had a point 4 and 5 because I wanted to see more on tigris transformation. I also wanted to see more of snow like atleast like middle age on how he built the capital up from what it was etc.

honestly would love to see a 6 hour compilation of you watching the hunger games

Lol 😂 Billy begging for Corio to die for half the movie not realizing he is Prez Snow from the other ones! That's why he hated Katniss she reminded him of Lucy.

I love his setup behind him❤

I love these premieres!!🎉

They recently announced a book and movie that will be about the 50th Hunger Games. President Snow would be 58 at that point. Sounds like a perfect role for Marshall Mathers III, aka Eminem, aka Slim Shady. And he can sing as much as he wants.

Im loving how Billy kept asking for snows death when he literally lives till the very end of the series

17:40 “wasnt there a hunger game movie called the songbird?” why, yes. we are watching you react to it right now 😅 awesome video!

Now I got what about the children playing over n over in my head 😂

I just noticed on the background a sebscreen plushie nice
