Megalopolis (Featuring Josh Bell)

On the 417th episode of Piecing It Together, Josh Bell joins me to talk about Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis. After decades of trying to bring his passion project to the big screen, it's finally here... And it's kind of a goof. Puzzle pieces include Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace, Fateful Findings, Idiocracy and The Fountainhead.As always, SPOILER ALERT for Megalopolis and the movies we discuss!Written by Francis Ford CoppolaDirected by Francis Ford CoppolaStarring Adam Driver, Aubrey Plaza, Jon Voight, Shia LaBeouf, Nathalie EmmauelLionsgatehttps://www.lionsgate.com/movies/megalopolisJosh Bell is a film critic whose reviews can be read at CBR, Crooked Marquee, The Inlander and elsewhere.
