On the 355th episode of Piecing It Together, Eric Langberg joins me to talk about Miller's Girl. This ridiculously deranged southern gothic psycho sexual thriller comedy starring Jenna Ortega and Martin Freeman is so clearly meant to be a comedy... So why didn't anyone take it as one? Puzzle pieces include The Boy Next Door, Wild Things, Cruel Intentions and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

As always, SPOILER ALERT for MIller's Girl and the movies we discuss!

Written by Jade Halley Bartlett

Directed by Jade Halley Baretett

Starring Jenna Ortega, Martin Freeman, Gideon Adlon, Dagmara Dominczyk, Bashir Salahuddin
