On the 454th episode of Piecing It Together, I'm joined by Marco Arriaga, Dayvid Figler, Amanda Guarragi, Jason Harris and David Quinones to talk about the Tim Robinson comedy Friendship. If you're up for this kind of ridiculous, absurdist comedy, this super episode is going to be a fun one. Puzzle pieces include Looney Tunes, I Love You Man, One Hour Photo and Very Bad Things.

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