This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:41:39), we talk about the big Disney renaissance hit The Little Mermaid, directed by John Musker and Ron Clements, in addition to the fourth and fifth episodes of Gravity Falls. In part two (1:41:40-2:40:56) we talk in shorter form about eight(ish) additional features: Radu Jude's fascinating 2021 film about sex tapes and pandemic brainrot Bad Luck Banging or Loony Porn, F. Gary Gray's 2017 entry in the Fast & Furious series Fate of the Furious, the legendarily disastrous 1996 John Frankenheimer adaptation of The Island of Dr. Moreau, Paul W.S. Anderson's 2017 conclusion to his video game franchise Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, Radu Jude and Christian Ferencz-Flatz' 2024 advertising montage documentary Eight Postcards From Utopia, Cameron Crowe's 2001 odd arthouse romance remake Vanilla Sky, Derek Erdman's early 90s found footage piece Girls at the Carnival, Peter Weir's 1985 American breakthrough film Witness, and the 1997 Barry Sonnenfeld sci-fi comedy smash Men in Black. In part three, we talk briefly about everything else we've watched since last time, and make our picks for next week.
