On The Stacks this week, in part one (0:00-1:43:02), we continue our coverage of the films of Werner Herzog with one of his best-known, beginning a series of collaborations with Klaus Kinski in 1979's Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht, in addition to "Miri" - the 9th episode of Star Trek (TOS). In part two (1:43:03-2:54:25), we talk Matt Reeves' 2022 recontextualization of The Batman, the infamous 1993 Super Mario Bros movie (directed by Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel), the 1994 David "The Rock" Nelson home video Conrad Brooks vs. the Werewolf, Bruce Le's self-directed 1980 Brucesploitation film Challenge of the Tiger, the 1991 Jeff Speakman martial arts picture The Perfect Weapon (directed by Mark DiSalle), Bosco Lam's 1994 HK Cat III black comedy A Chinese Torture Chamber Story, and finally, Colin Eggleston's 1986 Ozploitation Indiana Jones ripoff Sky Pirates. As usual, in part three, we talk briefly about everything else we've watched on physical media since last time and decide what to cover next week.
