Josh Hutcherson & Elizabeth Banks

S24 E9 · June 11, 2026

Overview

Josh Hutcherson and Elizabeth Banks first met making the first four "Hunger Games" films, from 2012 to 2015. While Banks wasn't present for the action sequences Hutcherson shot in the Hunger Games arena, they struck up a friendship. When the franchise began, Hutcherson, then 19, was a former child actor ("Zathura," "The Kids Are All Right"), and Banks, then 37, was a well-known character actress ("Seabiscuit," "W."). Both also stood out this year for taking on roles as partners in complicated relationships. On "I Love L.A.," Hutcherson is Dylan, the relatively sane, grounded boyfriend of Rachel Sennott's zany aspiring talent manager, Maia. And on "The Miniature Wife," Banks plays a writer who is quite literally shrunken down by her scientist husband, played by Matthew Macfadyen.
