Episode 139 - Gamera vs Jiger + TMNT (1990) + Samurai Cop + A Moment of Romance + Divinity

On The Stacks this week, part one (0:00-1:17:14) features the next entry in the original Gamera series, Noriaki Yuasa's 1970 film Gamera vs Jiger, while in Ultra Q episode 15, "Kanegon's Cocoon" we encounter a yokai rather than a kaiju. In an extended part two (1:17:15-2:52:56), we discuss four additional features, going deep on Steve Barron's 1990 kids' movie classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Amir Shervan's delirious lo-fi 1991 action b-movie Samurai Cop, the beautifully aesthetic 1990 triad film from Benny Chan, A Moment of Romance, and the bizarre 2023 sci-fi beat-em-up Divinity, from Eddie Alcazar. As usual, in part three, we discuss all the other physical media we've watched in between episodes and make our picks for next week.
