On the 219th episode of Piecing It Together, Joe Black joins me for a look at Paul Thomas Anderson's 9th film, Licorice Pizza. A look back at life in Hollywood in the 70s, it's a joyful romance that exudes the feeling of being alive. It's also my favorite movie of the year. Puzzle pieces include Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, American Graffiti, Rushmore and Almost Famous.As always, SPOILER ALERT for Licorice Pizza and the movies we discuss!https://www.unitedartistsreleasing.com/licorice-pizza/Writer / Director - Paul Thomas AndersonStarring Alana Haim, Cooper Hoffman, Sean Penn, Bradley Cooper, Tom Waits, Benny SafdieUnited Artists / Focus / BRONJoe Black is a filmmaker.
