This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:03:06), we talk about the final Stray Cat Rock film, Toshiya Fujita's Beat '71, in addition to the first episode of Gravity Falls. In part two (1:03:07-2:10:41) we talk in shorter form about a dozen additional features: Pamela Sutch's 2000 homemade cat movie Catastrophy, James Wan's 2015 franchise entry Furious 7, the 1991 Dana van Rouveroy slasher-comedy Intensive Care, the 2012 Paul W.S. Anderson hyper-stylized video game movie Resident Evil: Retribution, the two 1965 lost horror films (The Horror From Beyond and Paradise of Terror) from Vinegar Syndrome's Reviver Two set, the powerful 1981 Peter Weir war film Gallipoli, the 1994 Carol Weaks Cassidy & Ruth Leitman documentary Wildwood NJ, the 1983 Hugh Kinniburgh Long Island mall culture doc Mall City, Cameron Crowe's autobiographical 2000 film on 70s rock stardom Almost Famous, and Joseph Kosinski's 2010 grimdark legasequel Tron: Legacy. In part three, we talk briefly about everything else we've watched since last time, and make our picks for next week.
