Piecing It Together Podcast

On the 540th episode of Piecing It Together, Chad Clinton Freeman joins me to talk about Black Adam! Originally slated for release when the film first came out back in 2022, for various reasons, the episode never found a proper release date. Eventually it became an inside joke that it may never get released, but with today's news of James Gunn's departure as the head of DC Studios, the hierarchy of power in the DC Universe really is about to change, and it's time for this one to finally exit the vaults. Puzzle pieces include who can remember from an episode from back in 2022.

As always, SPOILER ALERT for Black Adam and the movies we discuss!

Chad Clinton Freeman is a film fan and the founder of the Pollygrind Film Festival.

On this special episode of Piecing It Together, I’m taking a break from movies to share with you all one of my comedy rock albums Pup Pup Radio! by The Pup Pups! This collection of novelty/comedy songs about and by my pets came out in December, but I never got a chance to share this commentary track. With our 7th album on the way, *cats, and this being your last chance to get your pet included on the bonus song, I thought this was the perfect chance to share this special episode.

Check out https://thepuppups.bandcamp.com to buy the limited edition vinyl of *cats and get your pet included on the bonus song!
