This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:23:49), we talk about Luigi Cozzi's (directing as Lewis Coates) wonderful grindhouse Star Wars knockoff Starcrash, as well as "Lazarus" - the 15th episode of season 1 of X-Files. In part two (1:23:49-2:29:19) we talk in shorter format about eight more movies: The emotionally resonant 2023 James Gunn MCU entry Guardians of the Galaxy Vol.3, the star-studded 1999 David "Rock" Nelson SOV epic The Devil Ant, Michael J. Murphy's final feature, the 2015 melodrama The Return of Alan Strange, the 1971 Bruno Gantillon erotic horror The Girl Slaves of Morgana Le Fay, the Coen Brothers' 1984 neo-noir debut Blood Simple, Robert J. Kaplan's lost 1972 queer art comedy Scarecrow in a Garden of Cucumbers, John Lasseter's 1999 Pixar sequel Toy Story 2, and Gaspar Noe's 2009 surrealist experimental POV drug film Enter the Void. In part three, we talk briefly about the other stuff we've watched since last time, make our picks for next week.
