On the 6th installment of our Missing Pieces series, Joe Black joins us for the absolute mind-trip that is Richard Kelly's Southland Tales. Is it a biblical story? Does anything make sense? Do pimps commit suicide? All of this and more are discussed on this extensive breakdown of this sort-of cult classic. Puzzle pieces include Star Wars, They Live, Demolition Man and Idiocracy.
As always, SPOILER ALERT for Southland Tales and the movies we discuss!

MISSING PIECES is a side series of Piecing It Together where we look at a movie from the last 3-30 years so that we can cover some films that came out before the creation of our podcast. Unlike a regular episode, my guest gets to pick a movie, and we also look forward to any movies that came after that it may have itself inspired as well. We started this side series during the theater shut down of 2020 and will continue it as long as there is a lack of new theatrical releases to cover.
My 5th album, Beater (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is available NOW on iTunes and all other digital music stores! Make sure to check it out!

The song at the end of the episode is “A Different Kind Of Dream" from my 4th album A Different Kind Of Dream which is available anywhere music is available.
