This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:48:30), we talk about Robert Clouse's notorious official 1978 Brucesploitation picture Game of Death, in addition to the pilot episode of Breaking Bad. In part two (1:48:31-3:08:20) we talk in shorter form about 13ish additional features: Todd Holland's 1989 proto-kid power classic The Wizard, Paul W.S. Anderson's 2002 video game adaptation Resident Evil and its 2004 sequel Resident Evil: Apocalypse (directed by Alexander Witt), the season 4 finale and season 5 opener of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the 1979 George Miller ozploitation classic Mad Max, Russell Mulcahy's landmark 1986 Cannon Film Highlander, JF Lawton's surprisingly intense 1995 martial arts thriller The Hunted, the iconic 1989 Cameron Crowe teen romance Say Anything, the pilot episode of the 50s anthology horror show The Veil, furry/toon-casting discussion of The Matrix Resurrections (plus ranking the Wachowskis filmography) and Romero's Dawn of the Dead, the 1974 Yukio Noda Brucesploitation The Karate (known in the US as Bronson Lee, Champion), the crazy 1979 Joe Law exploitation kung-fu The Crippled Masters, the 1995 Hisayasu Sato pink comedy Rafureshia, and the 1988 Newt Arnold JCVD martial arts picture Bloodsport. In part three, we talk briefly about everything else we've watched in the past couple weeks, and make our picks for next week.
