On the 409th episode of Piecing It Together, Tara Giancaspro joins me to talk about The Substance. One of the most buzzed about films of the year, we get into all kinds of gloopy, nasty stuff on this episode. Puzzle pieces include The Fly, Death Becomes Her, Akira and Dead Alive.

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