  • THE STACKS: Office Hours 8 - Jack's spoooooky movies, Stephen's puzzle games, and the great film heist of 2022!

    Ayyooo we're back for another update! This time Jack has some horror movies he *needs* you to check out, Stephen has seen some recent releases he didn't care for, but has three games to discuss! And of course, our gentle listeners have sent in some wonderful emails and suggestions, one of which leads us to committing crimes against cinema and.. crimes against the law.. I guess.

    21:20 - The Munsters, Werewolf By Night, and Twin Peaks Fire Walk With Me!

    Jack watched both entries in the Tall Girl Cinematic Universe and almost broke his brain, tune in to listen to us attempt to analyse Tall Girl 2, Netflix's business model, and one of Stephen's all time least favourite characters in cinema history!

  • [PATREON UNLOCKED] Let's Try That Again - Dredd (2012)
    Oooh a taster episode! Welcome to our first Patreon podcast series, Let's Try That Again. In this series, Stephen and Jack will be revisiting films they didn't particularly care for, and giving them another chance. On some episodes, Jack will bring a film he remembers fondly, that maybe Stephen didn't care for, or Stephen will bring one of his favourite films that Jack seemingly rated FAR TOO LOW. This series will soon be open to user suggestions, but for now, please enjoy our conversation about Pete Travis' (cough, Alex Garland's) DREDD (2012).
    If you enjoy this episode, consider joining the STACKS boys over at their Patreon for more podcasts, commentary tracks, essays, shenanigans, and all things cinema.

  • A Note From The Author - Sixten

    On this episode, we talk about the act of writing for film. Not writing about film, but the nature of ideas morphing from thought to pen to paper to camera. Stephen is joined by friend and filmmaker Sixten to discuss their debut short Grass Wizard. Listen as the two discuss the trials and tribulations of shooting a short film in a small window of time, with no budget, a few friends and family, and a phone. 

    As always, we welcome any and all emails to [email protected]

    You can find us on Twitter, Letterboxd, YouTube, and MySpace... probably.
