On the 309th episode of Piecing It Together, Josie DeMarco joins me to talk about Fool's Paradise. This directorial debut from It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia's Charlie Day was shunned by critics and audiences alike but we loved it and I'm sure it's a future cult classic in the making. Puzzle pieces include Being There, The Player, Bowfinger and Death To Smoochy.

As always, SPOILER ALERT for Fool's Paradise and the movies we discuss!

Written by Charlie Day

Directed by Charlie Day

Starring Charlie Day, Ken Jeong, Kate Beckinsale, Adrien Brody, Ray Liotta
