Episode 168 - Lips of Blood + Mulholland Dr + Speed Racer + Gladiator + Extraterrestrial Visitors + Death Machine

On The Stacks this week, in part one (0:00-1:31:59) Shana and j. discuss the 1976 Jean Rollin moody vampire picture Levres de Sang (Lips of Blood), in addition to the 11th episode of Star Trek (TOS), part one of their first two-parter "The Menagerie" (reusing the rejected pilot episode "The Cage"). In part two (1:32:00-3:16:55) we discuss 5 additional features: David Lynch's 2001 surrealist neo-noir masterpiece Mulholland Drive, The Wachowskis' glorious 2008 hyper-color anime adaptation Speed Racer, Ridley Scott's 2000 revival sword and sandal epic Gladiator, Juan Piquer Simón's bizarre 1983 ET / Alien knockoff Extraterrestrial Visitors, and Stephen Norrington's very 1994 absurdist dystopian sci-fi thriller Death Machine, as well as talking about the Cult of AGFA Trailer Show. As usual, in part three we talk about everything else we watched this week on physical media and make our picks for next week.
