This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:18:14), we talk about the 1986 Disney animated feature The Great Mouse Detective (directed by John Musker, Ron Clements, Burny Mattinson and David Michener), in addition to the penultimate episode of American Horror Story season 1 ("Birth"). In part two (1:18:15-2:04:29) we talk in shorter form about 7 additional features: the 2009 Justin Lin franchise entry Fast & Furious (4th in the series), the 2024 Luis Ortega surreal crime film Kill the Jockey, the 2007 Simon J. Smith & Steve Hickner animated Jerry Seinfeld abomination Bee Movie, Zach Clark's 2023 bodysnatchers / pandemic brainrot film The Becomers, the gnarly 1982 Yang Chuan Shaw Brothers ghost story Hell Has No Boundary, Jim Makichuk's snowy Canadian 1981 slasher/cannibal vibes horror Ghostkeeper, and the heavy (but dreamy) 1999 Lynne Ramsay Scottish social drama Ratcatcher. In part three, we talk briefly about everything else we've watched since last time, and make our picks for next week, concluding our annual resolutions month.
