On the 386th episode of Piecing It Together, Rachel Wagner joins me to talk about Robot Dreams. This beautiful, melancholy, wordless animated film was nominated for an Oscar and then just kind of disappeared. It's out now in limited release and if you get a chance to see it, see it! Puzzle pieces include The Iron Giant, Beau is Afraid, Pinnocchio and After Yang.
As always, SPOILER ALERT for Robot Dreams and the movies we discuss!
