On the 435th episode of Piecing It Together, Tara Giancaspro joins me to talk about The Brutalist. Brady Corbett's American epic is one of the most talked about movies of the year and a big contender at the upcoming Oscars. Puzzle pieces include Babylon, The Aviator, There Will Be Blood and The Neon Demon.

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