No Hard Feelings (Featuring Derrick Murray)

Mon, 26 Jun 2023 01:00:00 -0700

On the 315th episode of Piecing It Together, Derrick Murray joins me to talk about No Hard Feelings. This raunchy, R-rated comedy starring Jennifer Lawrence is a throwback to the kind of comedies that dominated the 2000s. Puzzle pieces include The 40 Year Old Virgin, Eurotrip, Easy A and Borat.

As always, SPOILER ALERT for No Hard Feelings and the movies we discuss!

NOTE: Correction... I mentioned on the episode that No Hard Feelings was tracking for #1 at the box office... I don't know where the hell I saw that, but even though it's doing VERY well for this kind of comedy in 2023, it's definitely not #1 at the box office.

The Empty Man (Featuring Darryl Armstrong)

Mon, 05 Apr 2021 08:01:00 -0700

On the 177th episode of Piecing It Together, Darryl Armstrong from Rise Up Daily and the CyberShorts Film Festival joins me to talk about a movie that's already proving to be a modern cult classic, The Empty Man. "Dumped" in theaters during the pandemic by a studio that had no idea what to do with it, The Empty Man is a big horror movie with a lot of interesting, if somewhat messy ideas. Puzzle pieces include Seven, Alien, Kill List and The Happening.

As always, SPOILER ALERT for The Empty Man and the movies we discuss!
