On the 265th episode of Piecing It Together, Daniel from The Movies returns to the podcast to discuss the creepy smile horror movie Smile. After a killer trailer and some amazing viral marketing, it’s one of the year’s most successful horror films. It’s also pretty freaking scary. Puzzle pieces include It Follows, The Ring, The Invisible Man and Drag Me To Hell.

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