This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:18:31), we talk about the iconic 1971 Clint Eastwood copaganda picture Dirty Harry (directed by Don Siegel), in addition to the first three episodes of the beautifully lo-fi Tacoma public access TV series Wayne Spitzer's Dead of Night (with furry-casting). In part two (1:18:32-2:11:41) we talk in shorter form about 8 additional features: Michael Apted's 1999 James Bond film The World Is Not Enough, Peter Berg's 2012 boardgame adaptation Battleship, the 1988 Ron Howard high fantasy epic Willow, the 2004 Bill Plympton retro-50s teen death song Plymptoon Hair High, Steven Spielberg's controversial 2008 franchise revival Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, the 1983 Joe Alves sharksploitation classic Jaws 3-D, Philippe Condroyer's obscure 1964 comic adaptation Tintin and the Blue Oranges, and the 2016 Andrew Stanton Pixar sequel Finding Dory. In part three, we talk briefly about everything else we've watched since last time, and make our picks for next week.
