Beast (Featuring Dwight Hurst)
Episode description
On the 264th episode of Piecing It Together, Dwight Hurst from The Broken Brain joins me to discuss the movie where Idris Elba fights a lion… Beast. It’s a throwback adventure movie throwback and in my opinion, the best example of cinema as an amusement park ride. Puzzle pieces include The Ghost and The Darkness, Jurassic Park, The Predator and Cujo.
As always, SPOILER ALERT for Beast and the movies we discuss!
Director – Baltasar Kormakur
Writer – Ryan Engle
Starring Idris Elba, Lyana Halley, Leah Sava Jeffries, Sharlto Copley
Universal
