On the 311th episode of Piecing It Together, Tara Giancaspro and Matt O'Connell join me to talk about Renfield. Beloved actor Nic Cage always wanted to play Dracula and he finally got his chance in this ridiculous bloody action comedy. Puzzle pieces include Dracula Dead and Loving It, 21 Jump Street, The Pineapple Express and Dead Heat.

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