Episode 155 - My Winnipeg + Garbage Pail Kids + Never Too Young to Die + 2020 Texas Gladiators + Satan’s Slave + Shanghai Triad + Dick and Jane Drop Acid and Die

This week on The Stacks, Shana and j. return to the works of Guy Maddin in part one (0:00-2:01:30), doing a detailed analysis of his 2007 film My Winnipeg, as well as talking the fifth episode of Star Trek (TOS), "The Enemy Within." In part two (2:01:30-3:07:20) we discuss six additional features - the much-derided 1987 Garbage Pail Kids Movie (directed by Rod Amateau), the fun 1986 James Bond Jr / Gymkata exploitation knockoff Never Too Young to Die (directed by Gil Bettman), Joe D'Amato's 1982 post-apocalypse motorcycle stunt mayhem flick 2020 Texas Gladiators, the landmark early 80s Indonesian supernatural horror Satan's Slave (directed by Sisworo Guatama Putra), Yang Zhimou's glossy, tony update of the 70s triad film to 90s international arthouse style with 1995's Shanghai Triad, and finally the Surf Reality Movie of the Month, Dick & Jane Drop Acid and Die, directed by Matt Mitler. As usual, in part three, we discuss everything else we've watched on physical media since last time and make our choices for next week.
