The Starving Games

The Starving Games is a satirical take on popular dystopian franchises such as The Hunger Games, with a comedic twist that lampoons the competitive, life-or-death nature of these types of stories. In this film, Kantmiss Evershot finds herself unexpectedly thrown into the 75th annual Starving Games, an event where contestants are required to battle not only each other but also their own hunger pangs and dwindling food supplies. The stakes are high as Kantmiss vies for the coveted grand prize of an old ham (a far cry from the lavish jewels and luxury items seen in other dystopian novels), alongside a coupon for a foot-long sub, and a partially eaten pickle. Throughout her journey, Kantmiss must grapple with themes like survival, resourcefulness, and the absurdity of extreme competition, all while trying to keep her sense of humor intact. The Starving Games is a clever parody that provides ample laughs and social commentary wrapped up in a fun, adventure-filled package.
