On the 4th episode of Missing Pieces, The Lady-Wan from the Screen Fix Podcast joins me to talk about 2004’s Garden State. Zach Braff swings for the fences with a story he wrote, directed, produced and starred in (not to mention putting together an all-timer soundtrack), and it definitely paid off at the time... But the film and star's reputation has taken a hit in recent years. We discuss whether it still works.

On the 122nd episode of Piecing It Together, David Quinones joins me to talk about yet another movie that critiques Capitalism (I'm sensing a theme here), Netflix's The Platform. It's a crazy movie about a 300 story prison in which prisoners must survive by scavenging from a levitating food platform that travels down from the top to the bottom.

On the 121st episode of Piecing It Together, filmmaker Michael Keene joins me to talk about one of the most ridiculous movies you can stream from home during your quarantine: Glenn Danzig's Verotika. Based on his line of borderline-porn horror comics, starring mostly porn stars with fake French accents and lots of blood... It's a crazy movie, and depending on the crowd you watch it with, a great time.
