On the 220th episode of Piecing It Together, it's time for another Super Episode! I'm joined by Shaurya Chawla, Joe Black, Jack Hunter, JC and Pete Abeyta to look at the return to The Matrix universe with Lana Wachowski's The Matrix Resurrections! After covering the original Matrix Trilogy in last week's episode, I really didn't know what to expect with the 4th feature entry in the series and I was pretty surprised with the movie we got. Puzzle pieces include Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Inception, Minority Report and Scream.

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