Three Thousand Years of Longing (Featuring Joe Black)
On the 272nd episode of Piecing It Together, filmmaker Joe Black joins me to talk about Three Thousand Years Of Longing. George Miller's latest disappointed in the theater, likely due to it not being another Mad Max: Fury Road, but this celebration of storytelling is one of my favorite movies of the year. Puzzle pieces include Lady In The Water, Licorice Pizza, Big Fish and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen.
As always, SPOILER ALERT for Three Thousand Years Of Longing and the movies we discuss!
