This week on The Stacks, part one (0:00-1:42:16), begins with Yakuza Graveyard, a 1976 yakuza film from Kinji Fukasaku, in addition to "Star Seed" - the very famous 22nd episode of Star Trek (TOS). In part two (1:42:17-2:59:10), we talk in briefer format about eight additional features: the 2019 Jon Watts MCU franchise entry Spiderman: Far From Home, Arthur Lubin's fifth entry in the Francis the Talking Mule series, 1954's Francis Joins the WACs, the highly self-aware 2013 Michael J. Murphy digital video feature ZK3 (or Zombie Knights 3), the 1972 Leon Klimovsky Spanish horror film The Vampires' Night Orgy, the 1986 Tony Ching HK romance/wuxia/horror Witch From Nepal, the 1995 Michael Mann masterpiece Heat, the highly influential 1955 Val Guest British sci-fi horror The Quatermass Xperiment, and Steven Spielberg's 1981 action/adventure classic Raiders of the Lost Ark. As usual, part three consists of brief capsule discussion of everything else we've watched since last time, and our picks for next week.
