S5E22: Interstellar (2014) Part I
Having gone already to the bottom of the ocean, Max and Connor continue their exploration of FINAL FRONTIERS by shooting through both a wormhole and a supermassive black hole like a baseball off a vampire’s bat, with Christopher Nolan’s 2014 brain-and-heart-breaker, INTERSTELLAR. We’re positive we got a lot of the science stuff wrong, but we’re equally certain we got a lot of the heart stuff right. If you haven’t seen this one yet, go and watch it on the biggest, loudest setup you can cobble together, get a session in with your therapist, and then come on back and plunge into the outer cosmos with us. You’d be a lot cooler if you did.

S5E21: Elizabethtown (2005) - Manic Pixie Dream Girls! with Cassandra Crose Part I
Max and Cassandra’s exploration of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl continues with the film that started it all: ELIZABETHTOWN (2005). Does this flick deserve all the vitriol? Or is it just the victim of sneering dismissals by cynical critics whose mothers didn’t hug them enough when they were young? Is it good? Is it bad? Is Kirsten Dunst’s Clair actually a manic pixie dream girl at all? All this and more!

S5E20: Burning (2018) feat. Alex
Measuring Flicks is back in the arthouse again with director Lee Chang-Dong’s brilliant Murakami adaptation BURNING. Confronted with one of the most deliciously ambiguous slow-burn thrillers either of them have ever seen, Max and very special guest Alex dig into what precisely they saw, what precisely it means, and why the hell cat-sitting for someone involves so much whacking off in plain view of the whole neighborhood.
Also, if you’ve seen this movie, please. Answer us this:

S5E19: Garden State (2004) - Manic Pixie Dream Girls! with Cassandra Crose
Max and Cassandra (of Cassandra Explains It All and Drenched In Drama) kick off their monthlong exploration of the cinematic archetype and cultural phenomenon that is the Manic Pixie Dream Girl with 2004’s Garden State. Are MPDGs just a holdover of outdated feminine societal structures from eras past? Infantilized male fantasies? Freudian Mommy stand-ins listless dudes feel okay about kissing? Are there two funk songs about Danny DeVito hidden in this episode somewhere? Find out! Tune in! Drop out!
