Episode 257 - Hell's Bloody Devils + more

from The Stacks Hosted by j. the curator

This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:22:19), we talk about the (circa) 1970 Al Adamson biker intrigue patchwork Hell's Bloody Devils, in addition to "New Amsterdam" - the fourth episode of Mad Men. In part two (1:22:20-2:37:15) we chat in shorter form about 8ish additional features: Teruo Ishii's brisk 1993 v-cinema entry Hitman: Blood Smells Like Roses, the peculiar 1985 Hoite C. Caston-directed and Peter Billingsley-starring children's film The Dirt Bike Kid, the 2026 Kane Parsons liminal horror film Backrooms, Barry Levinson's 1994 Michael Crichton 'what if a man was sexually harassed by a woman?' tech-thriller novel adaptation Disclosure, Martin Scorsese's 1973 New Hollywood romance / road picture Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, the 1994 Steve Miner remake of Gerard Depardieu's weird coming-of-age comedy My Father the Hero, James Bryan's 1984 goofballs biker movie Hell Riders, the 7th and 8th episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation Season 5 ("Unification" parts one and two), and Steven Spielberg's 2012 historical epic Lincoln. In part three, we talk briefly about everything else we've watched since last time, and make our picks for next week.
