Kicking off year three of The Stacks, in part one (0:00-1:48:14) we return to the Black Emanuelle series with a piece of strange apocrypha, discussing Christian Anders' 1981 film Divine Emanuelle (as well as its alternate director's cut Fanataco...

In part two (1:48:15-2:56:10) we talk more briefly on the great 2023 Jeff Rowe animated feature Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, Weston Razooli's retro-70s dungeon synth children's fantasy Riddle of Fire (also from 2023), Hajime Sato's bizarro 1966 tokusatsu manga adaptation The Golden Bat, and the very silly Troma-distributed exploitation flick They Call Me Macho Woman! (as well as talking about the special features from Canadian International Pictures' Animation Night in Canada vol.1).

In part two (1:30:48-3:10:09) we go in-depth on Lana Wachowski's fascinating 2021 legasequel The Matrix Resurrections, in addition to talking about Wolf Gremm's 1982 dystopian satire Kamikaze '89, Dave Green's surprisingly enjoyable 2016 live-action sequel Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, Michael J. Murphy's third and final stab at his favourite chivalric legend, 1999's Tristan, Penny Lane's idiosyncratic quasi-animated documentary on old-school huckster John R. Brinkley in Nuts!, and finally Dennis Hopper's 1990 overheated sleazy neo-noir The Hot Spot. In part three, in addition to our usual discussion of what we've watched since last time and our picks for next, we go very extended with the 3rd Stacks Awards, ranking the best and worst from the 200 or so movies we've covered in the past year.
