Presence (Featuring Josh Bell)

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. As always, SPOILER ALERT for Presence and the movies we discuss! Written by David Koepp Directed by Steven Soderbergh Starring Lucy Lui, Chris Sullivan, Callina Liang, Eddy Maday, West Mullholland, Julia Fox NEON https://www.neonrated.com/film/presence Josh Bell is a film critic whose reviews can be read at CBR, Crooked Marquee, The Inlander and elsewhere.
