Episode 225 - La Notte + more

This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:33:33), we talk about Michelangelo Antonioni's 1961 classic of arthouse alienation, La Notte, in addition to the ninth episode of American Horror Story season 1 ("Spooky Little Girl"). In part two (1:33:34-2:39:44) we talk in shorter form about 8 additional features: Tim Burton's 1989 comic book adaptation blockbuster Batman, the 1984 Dennis Chiu Jan-Keung and Lee Tai-Hang Shaw Brothers horror Sex Beyond the Grave, the icy 2000 Takashi Ishii rape/revenge film Freeze Me, Kaizo Hayashi's 1995 Maiku Hama film Stairway to the Distant Past, the 1980 Ian Barry Ozploitation nuclear paranoia classic The Chain Reaction, the 1997 Jean-Pierre Jeunet franchise entry Alien: Resurrection, the 2006 Justin Lin entry, and the 1982 John Frankenheimer East-meets-West action-drama The Challenge. In part three, we talk briefly about everything else we've watched since last time, and make our picks for next week, continuing our annual resolutions month.
