On the 185th episode of Piecing It Together, Josh Bell from Awesome Movie Year joins me to talk about Alexandre Aja’s Oxygen, a claustrophobic sci-fi thriller set entirely in a cryogenic pod where a woman wakes up with no memory of how she got there or any idea how to get out. Puzzle pieces include Phone Booth, Gravity, Searching and Moon.

On the 161st episode of Piecing It Together, Josh Bell from Awesome Movie Year helps me kick off 2021 with a look at Netflix’s The Midnight Sky, from director/star George Clooney. We all love George Clooney… But the films he’s directed have been very hit or miss… The Midnight Sky leans towards miss, but was still worth talking about. Puzzle pieces include Gravity, Interstellar, Apollo 13 and Adrift.

On the 72nd episode of Piecing It Together, Bee Garner returns to the podcast for another weird A24 film.

Claire Denis has created something unique and one-of-a-kind, and Robert Pattinson gives another amazing performance. Puzzle pieces include Moon, Under The Skin, Children of Men, and Dogtooth.

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.

Narrowing down the influences on this one were especially difficult as the film clearly laid the groundwork for all of sci-fi from when it was released in 1968 to today. Puzzle pieces include Star Wars, The Tree of Life, Adaptation and The Simpsons.
