Mankiewicz, writer of the classic 1941 Orson Welles film Citizen Kane and his struggle for credit in Hollywood. Puzzle pieces include Hail Caeser!, Can You Ever Forgive Me, Trumbo and of course, Citizen Kane.

On the 139th episode of Piecing It Together, Jason Harris from Awesome Movie Year returns to the podcast to cover a movie we mentioned in our August 2020 Trailers Special Episode, the Seth Rogen star vehicle An American Pickle. It’s very jewy, but unfortunately not very good. But we had a great time talking about it. Puzzle pieces include Adaptation, To Dust, Borat and Being There.

On the 137th episode of Piecing It Together, we do something that we’ve never done before… Cover a book! But it’s not that surprising that I’d want to talk about Charlie Kaufman’s first novel on the show, considering he’s the writer of my favorite movie Adaptation and a number of other films I love. Joining me is returning co-host Kris Krainock who did a great job of filling in the literary gaps with some puzzle pieces I’d have never been able to come up with unless I had another decade or two to read some more books… Did I mention I’m a slow reader?

On the 106th episode of Piecing It Together, Chad Clinton Freeman joins me to talk about one of his favorite subjects… Shia LaBeouf and his new film Honey Boy. Directed by Alma Har’el from a story written by LaBeouf about his own life, and starring him as his own father… It’s a weird one. And a great one. Puzzle pieces include Private Parts, Adaptation, American Honey and Birdman.

On the 61st episode of Piecing It Together, Bee Garner from Filmotomy and JumpCut Online joins me to talk about the polarizing Under The Silver Lake. After an iffy premiere at Cannes, distributor A24 got cold feet, allowing it to leak online, then delaying it over and over until David Robert Mitchell’s follow-up to It Follows was dumped to VOD. Which sucks. Because it’s a cult classic in the making. Puzzle pieces include The Big Lebowski, They Live, Burn After Reading and Rear Window.
