On the 374th episode of Piecing It Together, Joe Black joins me to talk about Poolman. Chris Pine's directorial debut about a pool guy turned detective was shunned by critics and audiences alike... But we kinda loved it. Puzzle pieces include Inherent Vice, The Big Lebowski, Cisco Pike and The Beach Bum.

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

Written by Chris Pine

Directed by Chris Pine
