This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:25:51), we talk about Jose Mojica Marin's 1968 horror anthology The Strange World of Coffin Joe, in addition to the twelfth and thirteenth episodes of Gravity Falls. In part two (1:25:52-2:47:47) we talk in shorter form about 9-ish additional features: Justin Lin's 2021 Fast Saga entry F9, the widely-disliked 2014 Marc Webb superhero rebootquel The Amazing Spider-Man 2, the hyper-liminal 2007 Olivier Assayas film Boarding Gate, Andy Milligan's 1965 debut, the queer bathhouse short Vapors, Peter Weir's excellent 1993 air crash trauma film Fearless, the hated 2002 Barry Sonnenfeld sequel Men in Black II, Radu Jude's crazy, shitposty AI-parodying 2025 Dracula film, Amanda Kramer's 2018 riff on The Lord of the Flies, Ladyworld, and the 2004 Robert Rodriguez / Frank Miller garage digital environment comic book movie Sin City. In part three, we talk briefly about everything else we've watched since last time, and make our picks for next week.
