On the 192nd episode of Piecing It Together, film critic and the "David Thewlis of Podcasting" Ben Miller joins me to talk about the wild new A24 film Zola. Based on a series of tweets about an insane weekend that actually happened with two strippers, it was one of my most anticipated movies of the year and I'm excited to finally get to talk about it. Puzzle pieces include Spring Breakers, Hustlers, The Disaster Artist and After Hours.

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