This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:54:22), we talk about Tim Hunter's 1986 loosely-based-on-fact teen crime bummer River's Edge, in addition to "Ladies Room" - the second episode of Mad Men. In part two (1:54:23-2:51:48) we chat in shorter form about 8 additional features (battling low-flying aircraft noise for the first few): Paul Verhoeven's 1990 sci-fi dystopia classic Total Recall, Martin Scorsese's 1972 grindhouse exploitation picture Boxcar Bertha, the 1984 James Bryan fake sequel Death Wish variant The Executioner Part II, Christopher Nolan's 2000 breakthrough film Memento, the 1976 Serge Moati French crime fantasia Nuit d'or (Golden Night), the 1975 Terry Ohlsson Australian crime procedural Scobie Malone, the 2016 Alex Proyas cgi spectacle Gods of Egypt, and Quentin Tarantino's sprawling 1995 abstracted grindhouse film Pulp Fiction. In part three, we talk briefly about everything else we've watched since last time, and make our picks for next week.
