On the 186th episode of Piecing It Together, Carlo from the Thief's Monthly Movie Loot Podcast joins me to talk about Spiral, the latest in the long running Saw franchise. This time around the series' main villain Jigsaw is out, but Chris Rock is in and the whole thing feels a lot like Se7en. Puzzle pieces include Se7en (of course), Mortal Kombat, Training Day and LA Confidential.

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