Show notes
This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:29:34), we talk about the 1969 Robert Downey (Sr) advertising satire Putney Swope, in addition to celebrating the 10th through 13th episodes of Wayne Spitzer's Dead of Night, concluding our coverage of the series. In part two (1:29:35-2:27:46) we suffer through some technical difficulties while we talk in shorter form about 8-ish additional features: Youssef Chebbi's 2012 supernatural crime procedural Ashkal: The Tunisian Investigation, the 1961 Chang Ying Taiwanese furry fable Fantasy of the Deer Warrior, Hisayasu Sato's 1988 pink film Survey Map of a Paradise Lost, Christopher Coppola's 1993 silly crime film Deadfall, Martin Scorsese's 1969 feature debut Who's That Knocking at My Door?, Sam Raimi's notorious superhero slurry Spider-Man 3, the early Martin Scorsese short films (What's a Nice Girl Like You Doing in a Place Like This, It's Not Just You Murray, The Big Shave, ItalianAmerican, and An American Boy), and Ang Lee's 1994 international breakthrough Eat Drink Man Woman. In part three, we talk briefly about everything else we've watched since last time, and make our picks for next week.
