On the 46th episode of Piecing It Together, I’m joined by a new co-host, film-critic Kristen Lopez to discuss what will almost certainly go down as the craziest movie of 2019... Serenity. This noir-tinged story about a tuna-hunting boat captain (Matthew McConaughey) who is asked by his ex (Anne Hathaway) to murder her husband, goes in bonkers directions you'll never see coming, all while going off the rails in glorious ways. Puzzle pieces include Interstellar, True Detective, The Breaking Point and Lawnmower Man.As always, SPOILER ALERT for Serenity (and any other movies we discussed)!http://avironpictures.com/films/serenity.phpKristen Lopez is a Rotten Tomatoes approved film critic whose work can be seen on SlashFilm, RogerEbert.com, The Hollywood Reporter and more.Follow Kristen on Twitter @journeys_filmAlso, check out the Citizen Dame Podcast, where Kristen is a co-host, at https://citizendame.podbean.com/My 4th album, A Different Kind Of Dream is available NOW on iTunes and all other d

On this Special Episode of Piecing It Together, I'm joined by returning co-hosts Ryan Daugherty and Chad Clinton Freeman to discuss all the movies we're most looking forward to in 2019. Surprisingly out of 30 picks (ten each) we only had three overlaps, so clearly, there are a lot of movies we're looking forward to this year including super-hero films, WTF films, A24 films and plenty more.As always, SPOILER ALERT for all the movies we discussed!Chad Clinton Freeman is the founder of the Pollygrind Film Festival and recently helped plan the Ironton Wizardfest.

On the 45th episode of Piecing It Together, I’m joined by Chad Clinton Freeman for a special kind of episode we've never really done before... It's both a Piecing It Together of 2018's Halloween (now available on Digital and Blu-ray), and a Breaking It Apart of 1978's original Halloween from John Carpenter. While coming up with our puzzle pieces for the new one, we realized that all the movies that inspired it, were themselves inspired by the original, so we thought this would make for a fun episode. Puzzle pieces include Scream, Stranger Things, Happy Death Day and Mean Girls.This episode arrives just in time for Women In Horror Month!

On the 44th episode of Piecing It Together, I'm joined for the first time by two returning co-hosts, Ryan Daugherty and Chad Clinton Freeman for a discussion of the long awaited M. Night Shyamalan movie Glass. If you're a nerd like us you've been waiting 20 years for a follow-up to Unbreakable, and after 2016's Split, all knew it was finally coming, and now it's here... For better or worse.

On the 43rd episode of Piecing It Together, new co-host Joe Black and I discuss one of the biggest movies of 2018, A Star Is Born. This is the 4th version of this classic story of one star's ascent while her mentor goes down in flames, and quite frankly, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper knock it out of the park. Puzzle pieces include Crazy Heart, Once, and Lady Gaga's actual career.As always, SPOILER ALERT for A Star Is Born (and any other movies we discussed)!http://www.astarisbornmovie.com/Joe Black is a filmmaker.

On this special episode of Piecing It Together, we follow up Episode 42’s discussion of indie-horror film Dry Blood by talking to writer/star/composer Clint Carney. I had met Clint at the FilmQuest Film Festival last year and when I saw the trailer for his film, I thought it would make for a great movie to cover on the show.

On the 42nd episode of Piecing It Together, and first of 2019, Chad Clinton Freeman joins me to check out the indie horror film Dry Blood. I had met writer/star Clint Carney last year at a film festival and thought it would be fun to check out one of his projects on the show, and Dry Blood, a cerebral horror film was the perfect opportunity, and we’ll be doing a follow-up interview with Clint Carney next week.

On the 41st episode of Piecing It Together co-host Chad Clinton Freeman and I discuss the newest entry in the DC Extended Universe, Aquaman. While DC has had a bit of trouble finding its footing in trying to battle Marvel for comic-book movie geek dominance, its films are not without their fans (Chad for example). Well they've got a new one thanks to Aquaman. And his name is Me! Puzzle pieces include Black Panther, Batman & Robin, Romancing The Stone and Avatar.As always, SPOILER ALERT for Aquaman (and any other movies we discussed)!https://www.aquamanmovie.com/Chad Clinton Freeman is the founder of the Pollygrind Film Festival and recently helped plan the Ironton Wizardfest.

On the 40th episode (FORTY EPISODES!) of Piecing It Together, returning co-host Ryan Daugherty and I discuss the amazing success that is Marvel's newest Spider-Man movie, Into The Spiderverse. A one-off animated film that doesn't tie into the other movies in the franchise (but does reference them in hilarious and wonderful ways), this movie is fan-service done right. Puzzle pieces include Deadpool, Kick-Ass, Scott Pilgrim Vs The World and What The Bleep Do We Know.As always, SPOILER ALERT for Spider-Man: Into The Spiderverse (and any other movies we discussed)!http://www.intothespiderverse.movie/Ryan Daugherty is a programmer and has collaborated with David Rosen on a number of projects.Check out his website at http://sharmandraproductions.com/My new album, A Different Kind Of Dream is available NOW on iTunes and all other digital music stores!

Artificial," an incredible music video he made for a song of mine. This is something different than we usually do here on the show, but "Artificial" is probably the thing I'm most proud of in 2018, and it is like a film in its own right, and we get into a great conversation about indie filmmaking and figure out some puzzle pieces for the video along the way.As always, SPOILER ALERT for Artificial and all the movies we discuss.http://www.bydavidrosen.comhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6wnnMqoEr8Find out more about Ben Yonker and his company Outtatime Films at https://www.outtatime.com/And follow them on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/ben.yonker/My new album, A Different Kind Of Dream is available NOW on iTunes and all other digital music stores!

On the 39th episode of Piecing It Together, Kris Krainock joins me for a second time in a row to discuss Green Book. The fantastic true story of Jazz pianist Dr. Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali) and his Italian driver (Viggo Mortenson) in the 1960s shines a light on a familiar story of racial tensions that's perfectly balanced by comedy-director Peter Farrely. Puzzle pieces include Driving Miss Daisy, The Blind Side, Little Miss Sunshine and A Bronx Tale.As always, SPOILER ALERT for Green Book (and any other movies we discussed)!https://www.greenbookfilm.com/Kris Krainock is a filmmaker and film fan who hosts Cinemondays, a weekly film event here in Las Vegas.

On this Special Episode of Piecing It Together, I repost a guest appearance I recently did on the Set Lusting Bruce Podcast. Set Lusting Bruce is a podcast all about Bruce Springsteen. I was a guest for two episodes, the first was a general conversation about music, podcasting and Bruce, but the second was a countdown with the host Jesse Jackson of our favorite movie music moments. It's a great movie talk and I thought it would be something you'd all want to hear.The original version of this conversation can be heard on Set Lusting Bruce at http://setlustingbruce.libsyn.com/episode-199-david-rosen and on iTunes and all major podcast apps.You can also follow Set Lusting Bruce on Twitter at https://twitter.com/@SetLustingBruceMy new album, A Different Kind Of Dream is available NOW on iTunes and all other digital music stores!

On the 38th episode of Piecing It Together, returning co-host Kris Krainock and I get into what was apparently Steve McQueen's life-long passion project, the female heist thriller Widows. Written by Gillian Flynn and featuring buzz-worthy performances from Viola Davis and Daniel Kaaluya, Widows has not disappointed many in the film community. But it disappointed us. Puzzle pieces include the Ben Affleck trio of Gone Girl, The Town and Live By Night, as well as Set It Off.As always, SPOILER ALERT for Widows (and any other movies we discussed)!https://www.foxmovies.com/movies/widowsKris Krainock is a filmmaker and film fan who hosts Cinemondays, a weekly film event here in Las Vegas.

On the 37th episode of Piecing It Together co-host Chad Clinton Freeman and I discuss the newest entry in the never-ending Harry Potter universe, Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald. I come at this episode as a complete beginner to the Harry Potter Wizarding World, but while Chad has only recently dived into this universe, he actually helped put on a giant festival around the fandom called Ironton Wizardfest, so he was uniquely positioned to talk about this one. Puzzle pieces include Star Wars, Transformers, Pokemon and Batman.As always, SPOILER ALERT for Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald (and any other movies we discussed)!https://www.fantasticbeasts.com/Chad Clinton Freeman is the founder of the Pollygrind Film Festival and recently helped plan the Ironton Wizardfest.

On the 36th episode of Piecing It Together, new co-host Luella Chavez of the Vegas Playground podcast joins us to discuss Bohemian Rhapsody, the controversial biopic of Queen front-man Freddy Mercury. Despite huge box-office success, the movie has been maligned by bad reviews since its release with critics generally praising Rami Malek's performance as the late singer, but trashing the rest of the film... Luella and I liked it like general audiences did... Even if we recognize the film's many flaws. Puzzle pieces include Rock Star, Love & Mercy, The Wolf of Wall Street and Wayne's World.As always, SPOILER ALERT for Bohemian Rhapsody (and any other movies we discussed)!https://www.foxmovies.com/movies/bohemian-rhapsodyLuella Chavez is an actress and hosts the Vegas Playground PodcastCheck out Vegas Playground at http://vegasplaygroundwithluellachavez.libsyn.com/And follow Luella Chavez on Twitter @LuellaChavezMy new album, A Different Kind Of Dream is available NOW on iTunes and al

On the 35th episode of Piecing It Together, returning co-host Kris Krainock and I discuss a24’s mid90s, the directorial debut from Jonah Hill. mid90s is a slice of life... 1990's skateboarder life to be precise. With virtually no known actors except Lucas Hedges, it shows the life of a young kid as he tries to make friends with a bunch of skaters. The authenticity on screen is somewhat of a nostalgia overload, but Jonah Hill does an amazing job of balancing it into a touching, funny film. Puzzle pieces include Kids, Clerks, Barry Lyndon and the NES Classic.As always, SPOILER ALERT for mid90s (and any other movies we discussed)!http://mid90s.movie/Kris Krainock is a filmmaker and film fan who hosts Cinemondays, a weekly film event here in Las Vegas.

On the 34th episode of Piecing It Together, returning co-host Josh Bell and I discuss a24's Never Goin' Back, a funny, crazy new comedy about the misadventures of two young female stoners. It's about youth, friendship, drugs and bodily functions. We had a great time talking about it. Puzzle pieces include Beavis & Butthead, Ghost World, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and a bunch of other a24 films.As always, SPOILER ALERT for Never Goin' Back (and any other movies we discussed)!http://nevergoinback.com/Josh Bell is a film critic whose work has been seen in the Las Vegas Weekly, Film Racket and more.

On this Special Episode of Piecing It Together, we follow-up Episode 18's In Memory Of with an interview with the film's writer/director Eric Stanze. In Memory Of is a wild independent film and was brought to me by Chad Clinton Freeman, who knows his stuff when it comes to these kinds of crazy, unique movies, so I was really glad that we got to cover it on the show. It's been a long while since Episode 18 but I've always wanted to go back and talk to Eric Stanze about the puzzle pieces Chad and I discussed and I'm glad to finally get a chance to do it.As always, SPOILER ALERT for In Memory Of and all the movies we discuss.http://wickedpixel.com/films/in-memory-of/My new album, A Different Kind Of Dream is available NOW on iTunes and all other digital music stores!
