Max and Jeff saddle up and kick off the final season of Measuring Flicks with Werner Herzog’s Nosferatu: Phantom der Nacht. A weird place to start. An excellent film, if you ask Max. Not so much, if you ask Jeff.

But that’s what these conversations are all about. Let’s get into it!

At long last, the conclusion to Max and Jeff’s discussion of Kurosawa’s noir masterpiece, High and Low. It’s the end of an era, marking the beginning of the final chapter—the final screening, if you will—of Measuring Flicks. Tune in to find out more. It’s gonna be good.

Max and Jeff just can’t stop watching bangers. This time around, it’s Akira Kurosawa’s taut and masterful High and Low (1963). For the metaphors, cinematography, and shot composition alone, this one’s worth the price of admission.

And then there’s Toshirō Mifune.

Part II of Max and Jeff's conversation about Ti West, Quentin Tarantino, the nature of art vs. the nature of Content, economic philosophy and the consequences of capitalism on human expression.

Also on Tongan Ninja, which, if you're flying high on a Friday night, is available for free on YouTube, and is an absolutely fantastic time.

It's the triumphant return of Jeff Morgan, with the cherry on top of the Masterpiece Mountain he helped build over the course of Metropolis, Dark City, La Jetée, 12 Monkeys, and Yojimbo. One film to rule them all:

Tongan Ninja.

Which you pretty much have to watch on YouTube. In 240p. Believe me when I say this is the best way to watch it. (And if you happen to have him around, sit down to chat about it with Jeff afterwards; it makes for an absolutely excellent afternoon.)

Part II of Max and Connor’s discussion of Interstellar (2014), in which we determine what the point of all those push-ups actually was.

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.
