Piecing It Together Podcast

On the 133rd episode of Piecing It Together, JC from Screen Fix Podcast joins me to talk about the latest Judd Apatow film, The King Of Staten Island, starring (and partially based on the life of) Pete Davidson, out now on VOD. A slight growth in the stoner, slacker man-child Apatow collection, it was a little tough to come up with puzzle pieces, but we had a great conversation anyway. Puzzle pieces include Say Anything, Knocked Up and Garden State.

As always, SPOILER ALERT for The King Of Staten Island and the movies we discuss!

On the 6th installment of our Missing Pieces series, Joe Black joins us for the absolute mind-trip that is Richard Kelly's Southland Tales. Is it a biblical story? Does anything make sense?

MISSING PIECES is a side series of Piecing It Together where we look at a movie from the last 3-30 years so that we can cover some films that came out before the creation of our podcast. Unlike a regular episode, my guest gets to pick a movie, and we also look forward to any movies that came after that it may have itself inspired as well. We started this side series during the theater shut down of 2020 and will continue it as long as there is a lack of new theatrical releases to cover.
