FIVE FROM THE FIRE / Ep. 10 Katharine Coldiron
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! On this episode, the Pink Smoke invites writer Katharine Coldrion (author of the new book Junk Film: Why Bad Movies Matter) into the burning warehouse from which she'll triumphantly emerge with such non-junky films as a cult high school horror movie, an entry in a B-movie legend's "H.G. Wells cycle," and one canonized "juice bomb." What's the reasoning behind her rescues? How do Norman Mailer, Bill Watterson and Weezer fit into this conversation? And will Katharine take advantage of a new twist where she's allowed to exchange one of the five listed directors for another filmmaker?
