Episode Details

n the 244th episode of Piecing It Together, Pete Abeyta returns to the podcast to talk about Robert Eggers' latest, The Northman (out now on Peacock). A brutal Viking epic starring Alexander Skarsgard that was one of my most awaited movies of the year, and it did not disappoint. Puzzle pieces include Valhalla Rising, Conan The Barbarian, The Green Knight and Gladiator.

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