OM DETTA AVSNITT
On the 430th episode of Piecing It Together, film critic Courtney Howard joins me to talk about Better Man. If you don't know it by name, this is the Robbie Williams biopic where he's digitally replaced by a CGI Chimp. It's WILD. Puzzle pieces include All That Jazz, Rocketman, Babylon and of course, Planet of the Apes.
As always, SPOILER ALERT for Better Man and the movies we discuss!
Written by Michael Gracey, Simon Gleeson, Oliver Cole
