This Week: This week, Kevin is hanging up his bow and arrow for mightier weapons, and he’s going to war with the Capital… or at least he will start to until next year when things can rightfully conclude. Kevin takes aim at The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part I, The Theory of Everything, Rosewater and V/H/S: Viral.
