Max and Jeff just can’t stop watching bangers. This time around, it’s Akira Kurosawa’s taut and masterful High and Low (1963).

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.

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.

Pig is a hard movie to write a blurb about. It’s infinitely blurbable—the problem is catching the actual experience of watching this incredible film. I could write: It’s John Wick with a pig. Or: It’s the story of a truffle hunter’s love for his pig. But that misses it entirely (even if both are true). It’s one man’s journey into the underworld to reclaim some small fragment of his humanity, and his life, by helping a wicked man reclaim some of his own. It’s a truly beautiful film, and an incredible experience. Buy it, tell people about it. Watch it more than once—you get so much more once you know the flavors to look for.

Our month of PSYCHOLOGICAL HORROR continues with Part II of our long discussion on Jacob’s Ladder . Gnosticism, Eckhart Tolle, angels, demons, Vietnam, tentacle porn…this movie’s got it all. (Including, possibly, the hidden truths that will allow you to break free from the stifling confines of this fabricated hell-realm we assume to be reality because we lack any other metaphysical point of reference. Maybe.) Patreon.com/QuillAndFilm MeasuringFlicksPodcast@gmail.com…

Our long look at CEREBRAL HORROR FILMS ascends to new heights this week, up Jacob’s Ladder (1990) . It’s an absolute brain-breaker, and sparked a pretty paradigm-shifting conversation on gnostic philosophy and the fundamental nature of our reality, too. What’s not to love? (Tentacle Porn Impalements aside and/or included. Dealer’s choice.) Patreon.com/QuillAndFilm MeasuringFlicksPodcast@gmail.com…

We haven’t watched a Nicolas Winding Refn film since Season Zero—our very first episode was Bronson . Our conversation (featuring guest hosts Bird and Alicia of New Hampshire) on The Neon Demon was every bit as contentious and illuminating as the chat that began this show. We hope you like it. We hope you like us. Do you think we’re beautiful? Patreon.com/QuillAndFilm MeasuringFlicksPodcast@gmail.com…

The boys cross the finish line on Two-Lane Blacktop …but who will come out the victor? Is there any such thing as winning in a world where dreams are stamped out in factories, and sold for the cost of a Wall Street Christmas bonus? Patreon.com/QuillAndFilm MeasuringFlicksPodcast@gmail.com

AUTOMAYBILE (in June) rumbles into the home stretch with Two-Lane Blacktop. Is it Americana at its finest? The best Road Movie ever made? A haunting elegy for a nostalgic time and place that never really existed? A masterpiece? This flick changed one of us forever, and put the other to sleep. Listen in as the boys try their best to settle the matter in the best way they know how: an all-out quarter mile for pinks! (Er, I mean, a discussion into microphones.)

Part II of our discussion of 1983’s Christine …just a short tag at the end, because Squarespace likes skinny episodes, and Karl and I needed some room in this one!

AUTOMAYBILE rolls right on into June as the boys finally get around to John Carpenter’s excellent adaptation of Stephen King’s Christine (1983) . Arnie Cunningham is just another loser, fading into the background at AARP High School, when one day he finds a crappy car that fixes itself and kills his enemies. And his friends. And, uh…some other people, just ‘cause. So ready yourself for some Detroit rumble, and don’t forget to weave. Seriously. Don’t run in a straight line down the center of the road. Even non-demonically-possessed cars will run you down if you just run in the road like that. Buddy Repperton is an idiot. Learn from his (totally awesome) death.

AUTOMAYBILE screeches off the line with everybody’s favorite little Volkswagen that could: it’s The Love Bug (1968)! This little throwback Disney classic has some of the best old-school stunt driving we’ve seen in four seasons, along with all the charm of Buddy Hackett’s whacky slapstick, and all the…well, there’s some other stuff in this one, too. THRILL! as we navigate the switchbacks. Will the boys make it out alright? Tune in to find out! Patreon.com/MeasuringFlicks MeasuringFlicksPodcast@gmail.com…

APRIL FOOLS: STEVE MARTIN continues, as does our secret Carl Reiner appreciation month, with Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid . If you like crime noir, detectives, cigarettes, dames, goons, James Bond, Harrison Ford, coffee, hilarity, voiceover, fantastic leaps in deduction, bloody knees, dog dirt, cross-dressing, coin manipulation, or semi-erotic toothpaste tubes…boy howdy, have we got a picture for you.
