On the 438th episode of Piecing It Together, Josh Bell joins me to talk about Presence, one of two Steven Soderbergh films released this year. This ghost story from the point of view of the ghost is a unique, original and one of the year’s best so far. Puzzle pieces include A Ghost Story, In A Violent Nature, Paranormal Activity and I Am The Pretty Thing That Lives In The House.

On the 210th episode of Piecing It Together, Josh Bell from Awesome Movie Year returns to the podcast to help me find some puzzle pieces for Denis Villeneuve’s years in the making adaptation of the sci-fi classic Dune. It’s kind of tough to figure out what inspired a movie that is based on source material that inspired so much that’s come since, but we found some great picks. Puzzle pieces include The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Matrix, Dunkirk and Avatar.

Puzzle pieces include Gravity, Interstellar, Apollo 13 and Adrift.

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.
