This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:25:09), we talk about the landmark Sergio Corbucci revisionist western The Great Silence, in addition to the final episode of Breaking Bad's first season. In part two (1:25:10-2:28:59) we talk in shorter form about 9 additional features: Brett Ratner's widely hated 2006 franchise-wrecker X-Men: The Last Stand, the goofy 1979 Lewis Gilbert James Bond picture Moonraker, Yukio Noda's oddball Brucesploitation Za Karate 3, Christopher Nolan's 1998 debut feature Following, Jan de Bont's 1994 action blockbuster Speed, the 1987 George Miller romantic horror-comedy The Witches of Eastwick, Peter Weir's 1977 mystical apocalypticism anxiety film The Last Wave, the 2014 Bennett Miller true crime story Foxcatcher, and the 2025 Joachim Rønning legasequel Tron: Ares. In part three, we talk briefly about everything else we've watched since last time, and make our picks for next week.
