This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:34:06), we discuss Sergio Leone's 1968 western epic Once Upon a Time in the West, in addition to "Beyond the Sea" - the beloved thirteenth episode of X-Files season one. In part two (1:34:07-2:32:04) we talk in shorter format about seven additional features: 2023's Peyton Reed MCU flop Ant-Man & The Wasp in Quantumania, Robert Fortier's 1981 documentary Devil at Your Heels, the 2024 Osgood Perkins Satanic Panic retro-horror Longlegs, Zach Clark's 2011 surreal comedy/drama Vacation!, Steve Hanft's 1994 GenX primary text Kill the Moonlight, the 1999 M. Night Shyamalan horror landmark The Sixth Sense, and John Lasseter's 1995 game-changing cg-animated film Toy Story. In part three, as usual, we talk in brief about the other stuff we've watched since last time and make our picks for next week's episode.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
