On the 337th episode of Piecing It Together, Ryan Luis Rodriguez joins me to talk about The Creator.

On the 2nd episode of the special episode series called Breaking It Apart, co-host Kris Krainock and I take a look NOT at a new movie and what movies inspired it, but at a classic movie and what movies were inspired BY it… And this time we’re looking at the classic Stanley Kubrick feature 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Puzzle pieces include Star Wars, The Tree of Life, Adaptation and The Simpsons.
