Piecing It Together Podcast

On this special episode of Piecing It Together, comedian Jason Harris joins me to discuss two of the most talked about comedies of the year: Booksmart from director Olivia Wilde and Good Boys from director Gene Stupnitsky (and produced by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg), as well as the classic comedy they're both so clearly inspired by, Greg Mottola's Superbad. We talk about what works, what doesn't, and get into some puzzle pieces for all three of them.

As always, SPOILER ALERT for Booksmart, Good Boys, Superbad and the movies we discuss!

Based on a recent novel from Stephen King, Doctor Sleep and director Mike Flanagan tries to answer questions you probably never had about The Shining and expands the mythology in all kinds of new, unexpected ways. Puzzle pieces include Ready Player One, It Chapter 1 & 2, The Frighteners and the Twilight series.

As always, SPOILER ALERT for Doctor Sleep and the movies we discuss!

On this special mini episode, Phil A and I record our first impressions of the experience that was the IMAX screening of Kanye West's Jesus Is King. Part film, part music video, part live performance... Love him or hate him, Kanye West is one of the most unique artists working today, and while the film doesn't warrant a full length episode, it was definitely worth talking about.

NOTE: This is a special mini-episode and unlike our usual episodes of the podcast. It was also recorded in a moving car on a pocket recorder so it doesn't sound like our usual episodes.

As always, SPOILER ALERT for Jesus Is King and the movies we discuss!
