This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:26:32), we talk about the Nobuhiko Obayashi's surrealist 1981 idol film School in the Crosshairs, in addition to the fifth episode of Breaking Bad's first season. In part two (1:26:33-2:27:04) we talk in shorter form about 8 additional features: the 1989 Kazuki Omori kaiju classic Godzilla vs Biollante, Kevin Smith's 1994 indie film debut Clerks, Yukio Noda's wacky 1974 Brucesploitation Za Karate 2, the 1983 Landis / Spielberg / Dante / Miller collab anthology Twilight Zone: The Movie, the 1992 Herman Yau Hong Kong crime film Best of the Best, Justin Lin's 2013 franchise entry Fast & Furious 6, the 2014 Jaume Collett-Serra Liam Neeson transit thriller Non-Stop, and 2024's Isaac Gale and Ryan Olson surrealist biopic Swamp Dogg Gets His Pool Painted. In part three, we talk briefly about everything else we've watched since last time, and make our picks for next week.
