On this special episode we follow up Episode 124's conversation about Frances Ferguson with an interview with the film's writer/director Bob Byington.

On the 4th episode of Missing Pieces, The Lady-Wan from the Screen Fix Podcast joins me to talk about 2004’s Garden State. Zach Braff swings for the fences with a story he wrote, directed, produced and starred in (not to mention putting together an all-timer soundtrack), and it definitely paid off at the time...

On the 2nd episode of Missing Pieces, Chad Clinton Freeman joins me to talk about 2014's Jamie Marks Is Dead.

This time in a private meeting room in the West Sahara Library to talk about Terminator: Dark Fate, recording directly into his monstrous digital creation known as The Monarch.
