Saw _Stalked by My Doctor: Patient’s Revenge_ with the same film group that showed _Rock and the Alien_. Roberts is the doctor who gets stalked, really, by a former kidnapping victim of his from the previous movies (it’s a series). Plus he keeps seeing a Hawaiian shirt-wearing cocktail-swilling version of himself who tries to be his conscience. Plus there’s a _La La Land_-esque musical interlude. It’s occasionally weird for a Lifetime thriller movie. ---
