This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:27:46), we talk about Alejandro Jodorowsky's 1961 surrealist debut Fando y Lis, in addition to "5G" - the fifth episode of Mad Men. In part two (1:27:47-2:29:31) we chat in shorter form about 9ish additional features: Michael G. Heagle's satirical 1989 SOV slasher short Toga Party Massacre, Léonard Keigel's 1970 magical realist mystery Qui? (aka The Sensuous Assassin), Scott Walker's 2013 true crime picture The Frozen Ground, Norman Apstein's low budget kid-horror Ice Cream Man, Simon Glassman's 2025 Backrooms-adjacent ad-horror Buffet Infinity, a furry-casting for Martin Scorsese's 1976 classic Taxi Driver, the 2009 Graham Reznick 3D POV horror short The Viewer, Tony Scott's 1998 paranoia thriller Enemy of the State, Steven Spielberg's 2015 based-on-fact Cold War film Bridge of Spies, Frank LaLoggia's painterly 1988 gothic horror Lady in White, and Carl Schultz's shaggy 1983 Gold Coast conspiracy procedural Goodbye Paradise. In part three, we talk briefly about everything else we've watched since last time, and make our picks for next week.
