On the 443rd episode of Piecing It Together, we are LIVE from The Beverly Theater in Las Vegas for a crossover episode with the UNLV Film Department Podcast. I'm joined by Nic Patrick, L Villarreal and Ani Rogy to talk about Newlyweeds, the debut film from Judas and The Black Messiah director Shaka King. Puzzle pieces include Half Baked, The Graduate and the Beastie Boys "Sabotage" music video.

As always, SPOILER ALERT for Newlyweeds and the movies we discuss!
