Summary: In Episode 54 of Fireside Chat, we talk all about director Gary Ross's now finalized departure from the franchise. We also discuss potential replacements, including Alfonso Cuaron, David Cronenberg, and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, all of whom are supposedly on Lionsgate's "director short list" (according to the L.A. Times). We finish up with Part 1 of a pre-recorded interview with Caroline Carpenter, author of Guide to The Hunger Games, an unofficial companion to the trilogy.
