This week on The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:08:36), we talk about Yasuzo Masumura's noir procedural The Black Report, in addition to the eighteenth episode of Gravity Falls. In an extended part two (1:08:37-2:40:15) we talk in shorter form about 12(ish) additional features: Matt Johnson's great 2025 time travel comedy Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, the 2001 Pamela Sutch WAVE-style fetish video women-in-peril satire The Gosh-Darned Mortgage, the G1 Transformers episode "Triple Takeover", the 1987 Paul Verhoeven satirical action classic Robocop, the excellent Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Silicon Avatar", the 1996 Alan Parker adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Broadway musical Evita, the heavily Miami Vice-inspired 1989 John Glen Timothy Dalton Bond entry Licence to Kill, the 2003 Peter Weir epic nautical warfare masterpiece Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, the singularly baffling 2015 militarization of space / Hawaii romcom (?) Aloha, discussion and loose furry-casting of J.J. Abrams' 2015 Star Wars picture The Force Awakens, the classic G.I. Joe episode "The Viper Is Coming" and the goofy Star Trek Animated episode "Bem" - apologies for some noise in this section, there was construction work. In part three, we talk briefly about everything else we've watched since last time, and make our picks for next week.
