Episode 209 - Jour de Fete + More

This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:22:28), we talk about Jacques Tati's debut feature Jour de Fete (and related short "L'ecole des facteurs"), in addition to "Roland" - the 23rd and penultimate episode of X-Files' first season. In part two (1:22:29-2:28:50) we talk in shorter format about 8 additional features: M. Night Shyamalan's roundly despised 2010 Avatar adaptation The Last Airbender, David Slade's 2010 Twilight Saga entry Eclipse, Julius Onah's 2025 MCU entry Captain America: Brave New World, Todd Phillips' controversial 2019 supervillain origin story Joker, Lamberto Bava's 1984 creature feature Monster Shark (aka Devil Fish etc), Larry Fessenden's 1995 vampirism / addiction film Habit, the 2018 Travis Knight Transformers franchise soft reboot Bumblebee, and the 2001 Coen Brothers' philosophical noir The Man Who Wasn't There. In part three, we talk briefly about the other stuff we've watched since last time, and make our picks for next week.
