On the 335th episode of Piecing It Together, Megan Kearns from Spoilerpiece Theater joins me to talk about The Royal Hotel. Kitty Green’s follow-up to The Assitant is another excellent feminist film that also draws inspiration from some tense genre movies. Puzzle pieces include Hotel Coolgarie, Green Room, Support The Girls and It Comes At Night.

On the 180th episode of Piecing It Together, film critic Amy Smith from the Film For Thought Podcast joins me to talk about the latest and possibly weirdest movie from weird movie guy Ben Wheatley. It’s one of the first films to get made after the Covid-19 pandemic and taps into the anxiety we’re all still feeling a little bit. Puzzle pieces include Annihilation, Midsommar, Contagion and It Comes At Night.

On the 26th episode of Piecing It Together, co-host Josh Bell and I discuss The Beast, a local feature from Las Vegas-based filmmakers Ryan & Cody LeBoeuf. The Beast originally screened at film festivals under the name Rabbit Days before picking up distribution and getting the name change. It’s a crazy, mind-trip of a movie about a play director who lures some guests to his home with the promise of great opportunity, but what they find when they arrive goes from weird to bad to much worse. Puzzle pieces include The House on Haunted Hill, The Invitation, Mullholand Drive and Waiting For Guffman.

It stars Krasinski and Emily Blunt as well as some really cool monsters. Puzzle pieces include 10 Cloverfield Lane, Signs and The Road.
