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.

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 Are MPDGs just a holdover of outdated feminine societal structures from eras past?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!

S5E18: Underwater (2020) feat. Connor Sweeney, Part I
Connor’s back in the studio to avoid talking about 2020’s Underwater. Why? We have no idea. The flick is actually really good, super fun, legit scary, well-made, well-paced, and filled with good performances and a subtle touch of world-building that’s creepy and insidious as hell.
We just hadn’t seen each other in about a year, so what we ended up with was two film nerds hanging out and having a blast for a couple of hours. I hope you all enjoy as much as we did. It’s good to be back, and to have Connor back in the madness.

Customer Reviews
Give it to me long and nerdy
If you have ever had a long, late night, passionate… discussion with your friends, you know exactly what you will be getting with a measuring flicks podcast. Karl and Max dive deep and turn over EVERY stone to try to find something to love with every movie. And when they can’t, they throw those stones at the people who dared insult the craft of cinema.
Just don’t ask Karl about Kiefer Sutherland…
“Love It!” - someone who doesn’t watch movies
One of my favorites to listen to! I appreciate that the content is entertaining and relatable without having to be a movie nerd! (Which I’m not).
Part Film School, Part Raunchy Roast
I’ve been listening for about a month now, and this show is great. Some episodes play like well-reasoned analysis of the films these guys watch for the podcast. The other half of the shows are like sitting around listening to two hilariously vulgar (probably drunk) friends tearing terrible movies to pieces...with love.
For fans of cinema and sickos. Love it.
