On the 343rd episode of Piecing It Together, Noah Gittell joins me to talk about The Holdovers. Alexander Payne reunites with Paul Giamatti for an infectuous cranky curmudgeon story with a heavy 70s vibe. Puzzle pieces include A Man Called Otto, The Breakfast Club, Licorice Pizza and Good Will Hunting.
As always, SPOILER ALERT for The Holdovers and the movies we discuss!
