On the 290th episode of Piecing It Together, filmmaker Rick Ives joins me to talk about Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania. The 3rd film in the Ant-Man series and the 30somethingith film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe... It's a bit of a mess but we had plenty to talk about with this one... Puzzle pieces include Sky Captain & The World Of Tomorrow, The Cloverfield Paradox, Dune and Strange World.

We also spend some time talking about Rick Ives' own film Solid Rock Trust. Make sure to check out the link below if you'd like to watch his film.

As always, SPOILER ALERT for Ant-Man & The Wasp: Quantumania and the movies we discuss!
