This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:04:33), we discuss Bruce Lee's sole directorial effort The Way of the Dragon, in addition to "Gender Bender" - the weird sex-changing space Amish S1 episode of X-Files. In part two (1:04:34-2:21:06) we talk in shorter format about eight additional features: the third season of Marvel's What If? animated series, Amy Heckerling's 2012 vampire comedy Vamps, the Peter Bonerz 1989 franchise entry Police Academy 6: City Under Siege, David Dubay's 1997 SOV smalltown skullduggery epic The Killing Tide, Don Mancini's underappreciated 2004 debut Seed of Chucky, Don Bishow's 1987 lo-fi psychotronic splatter picture The Soultangler, Guy Ritchie's 1998 debut crime comedy Lock Stock & Two Smoking Barrels, and M. Night Shyamalan's 2000 twist picture Unbreakable. In part three, we talk briefly about the other stuff we've watched since last time, make our picks for next week, and then we hold our fourth annual Stacks Awards, talking about all our favourite stuff that we've watched and talked about on the pod in the past year.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
