Episode Description

What if every single print of every single film by 5 esteemed filmmakers were housed in a burning warehouse and there was only time to save 5 of them? This is the hypothetical hot seat into which guests are placed on the recurring Five from the Fire series, tasked to choose a handful of movies to rescue from oblivion!

We entrust the hosts of Director's Take: A Sony Pictures Podcast, Becky D'Anna and Jon Laubinger, to charge fearlessly into the flames and make some tough decisions. Will their choices be based on childhood nostalgia? Will they consider the history of le cinema? Does the single. neglected film of a one-and-done director stand a chance against four other filmmakers with dozens of classics under their belt? Since their new podcast is focused on directors, Becky and Jon make ideal candidates for our ruthless little experiment!
