Zack Snyder's Justice League. After a storied and crazy #ReleaseTheSnyderCut campaign by fans, Warner Bros and HBO Max teamed to make it a reality and it turns out... It's pretty freaking great. Puzzle pieces include Peter Jackson's King Kong, Frankenstein, Reservoir Dogs and Seven Samurai.As always, SPOILER ALERT for Zack Snyder's Justice League and the movies we discuss!https://zacksnydersjusticeleague.dcuniverseinfinite.com/The #ReleaseTheSnyderCut campaign raised a lot of money for the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention.

On the 173rd episode of Piecing It Together, Rosa from Latinx Lens joins me to talk about La Llorona.
